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

Margins divide P&L lines by turnover. Gearing is liabilities over total assets. Current ratio is current assets over creditors falling due within one year. Interest cover is operating profit over absolute finance costs. Sector-distribution context coming next.

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.”

Significant events

• “During the financial period, group turnover grew by 66.5%, with a resilient gross margin of 37.8% (2024: 27.9%) and profitability of 24.9% (2024: 10.4%).”
• “Increased turnover in 2025 reflects a rise in contract starts, and the directors consider the outcome for the year to be satisfactory.”
• “The principal risks identified by the directors include project deferrals due to economic uncertainty, inflationary pressures and a highly competitive market driven by reduced project starts. To mitigate these risks, the group maintains a strong operational presence across the UK, operating across a broad mix of infrastructure projects.”
• “The group increased its net asset position, reporting a balance sheet value of approximately £7.8 million.”
