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. 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

• “Turnover for 2024 was down by 21% on the previous year.”
• “Rising inflation - The Directors are mindful of the increase in material and labour costs in 2024, which are continuing in 2025. Where necessary, these increases will be reflected in our quotes for new contracts. However, this could mean a reduced Profit Margin in 2025 if costs have to be absorbed on some existing contracts.”
• “Shortage of materials - We have a wide range of suppliers and subcontractors to choose from and where necessary we seek alternative supplies from new suppliers when needed in order to continue supplying the correct materials to our clients. There is still a high demand for materials worldwide following on the effects of Covid, Russia's invasion of Ukraine and other world conflicts.”
• “Russia's invasion of Ukraine - Everyone has experienced cost rises on oil, gas and electricity which obviously has had an effect on the business and some costs are still rising due to inflation and lack of materials, or alternative materials being sourced just being more expensive than those previously available. The war is still ongoing and is showing no signs of agreement, which continues to cause uncertainty in the world and in business in general.”
• “Following the election of a labour government we have seen business taxes rise and we can see this curtailing some client investment. This may also impact 2025 turnover.”
• “On 28 March 2025, the shareholders of Kirkman and Jourdain Construction Limited, elected to sell 100% of their shares to the Company's employees through the mechanism of an Employee Ownership Trust.”
