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 opinion

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 the 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

• “The business has completed its integration of G&W Engineering and GW Atkins & Sons and these costs and workloads are no longer material in the business.”
• “The group has, since the year end, received communication its energy supplier advising of alleged errors in the calculation of energy invoices for the period from 1st April 2022 to 31st March 2025, spanning the company's balance sheet date. An amount of £1,576,203.67 is being demanded, which the directors strongly dispute. The financial effect of any obligation existing at the balance sheet date cannot be accurately estimated due to the uncertainty of the outcome of a resolution process due to commence in August 2025.”
• “On 19 August 2020, G W Atkins & Sons Limited, a subsidiary of G W Atkins and Sons Holdings Limited entered in to an agreement to purchase the assets of a competitor. Included in these assets were £1,480,000 of Plant and Machinery and the competitor's order book at £795,500. As part of the agreement, there is £1,175,500 of deferred consideration payable within 24 months of the completion date. At the point of approving these financial statements, the agreement is in legal dispute and the Group has not made any payments towards the deferred consideration. The directors of G W Atkins & Sons Limited are doubtful that the deferred consideration attributable to the order book of £795,500 will be payable once the case is settled. The exact amount is currently being negotiated.”
