- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- 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
- “In 2024 BBA successfully maintained the strong income position experienced in 2023, despite significant headwinds experienced in the wider construction sector. The Directors are part cularly pleased with this achievement as the 2023 result represented a 30% turnover increase over previous years.”
- “The most significant change to the business was the acquisition of Fairhurst Architects Limited (FA) by parent company Bond Bryan Architects Holdings in June 2024.”
- “Bond Bryan relocated to larger premises in Birmingham due to growth in the region across Higher Education, schools and residential.”
- “J Rigby was appointed as a director on 2 January 2024.”
- “J Stibbons resigned as a director on 25 October 2024.”
- “During the year the company disposed of Bond Bryan Digital therefore the company is no longer a related party.”
