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

- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the director's 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 group's and parent 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
- “Despite the continued unsettled economic and political environment 2024 has been another successful year for the Sale Group, and we look towards 2025 with great optimism.”
- “Sale Group is now one of the largest family-owned Mechanical and Building Services companies in the UK.”
- “The true importance of this approach to risk management was evident this year with the demise of ISG. Whilst the failure of ISG was unfortunate, it had minimal impact upon our results.”
- “2024 saw us participate in the Mental Health World Cup which aims to promote mental health awareness in the construction industry.”
- “Each year Sale Group run what many consider the best Golf Day in the industry...This year we raised over £35,000 on the day, something we are very proud of.”
- “Each year we also contribute to Great Ormond Street so that children in hospital over Christmas can have as much joy as possible.”
- “In 2024 we supported a community-based project in Bolivia to offset our carbon usage.”
