Each % is (latest − prior) ÷ |prior| for the line item as filed. The comparison is only shown when the latest and prior accounts cover broadly equal-length periods — short or long stubs (typical around incorporation or a year-end change) are suppressed rather than misrepresented. Lines a company doesn't report are omitted. About these numbers

Audit & accounting basis

- Going concern
- Affirmed
“In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the directors' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate. Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the company's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.”
Significant events
- “The performance in this financial year shows continued stability following the COVID pandemic, with the bounce back in sales maintained with an increase on the prior year. The results show a 3.6% increase in the gross profit margin which is aided to management of direct costs throughout the year.”
- “The company has continued to service its loans during the year, the overdraft at the bank has decreased but within the limit set by the bank. New equipment purchased in the year was mainly financed by hire purchase arrangements to continue investment in the business, whilst maintaining sufficient cashflows. Debt potentially repayable within one year has decreased from 31.4% to 29.7%, mainly due to a reduction in the bank overdraft balance at the year end and represents a reduction from 2023.”
- “Bank of England base rates rose from 4.50% on 1 June 2023 peaking at 5.25% in August 2023 where they remained until August 2024. High interest rates affected the debt service requirements of the Company.”
- “The ongoing invasion of Ukraine and growth of far eastern economies have had and will continue to have a significant impact on commodity prices, especially those of fuel and steel.”
- “Since the year end, the Company has reduced sales volume by 7.5% but increased margin by 1.14%. Net profit has increased by roughly 5% over the previous year. The directors however anticipate strong sales in the final months of the year to 31 May 2025 which will recover some of the volume whilst maintaining higher margin.”
- “In addition, an opportunity has been identified to work more closely with one quarry to boost production and crushing volumes significantly over the medium term. This will require investment in plant and labour which will be more than matched by increased, regular cash inflow from the upscaled project.”
- “In April 2024, the company made a payment of £18,783 to a scam company in error. The bank were unable to retrieve the payment and the loss is charged in the profit and loss account.”
