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

- 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 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
- “During the year ended 31 March 2025, the group reached a significant milestone in its growth strategy with the acquisition of SR Black, a specialist plumbing, heating, electrical, and drainage firm based in Kingston-upon-Hull. This acquisition strengthens our geographical footprint and diversifies our service offering, bringing with it a prestigious client base including local authorities, Humberside Police, and the Fire and Rescue Service. To support our expanding operations, we have also invested in a new regional office in Gateshead.”
