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
“The financial statements have been prepared on the going concern basis which assumes that the company will continue in business for at least 12 months from the date these financial statements were approved. The company meets its day to day working capital requirements through bank overdraft facilities which, in common with all such facilities, are repayable on demand. The banking facilities with Danske Bank were agreed in February 2025 and fall due for renewal again in November 2025. Based on ongoing informal discussions it is expected that the bank will continue to support the company under acceptable terms. Taking these matters into account the directors consider it appropriate to prepare financial statements on the going concern basis.”
Significant events
- “The turnover during the year was at a similar level to the 2024 financial year at £45.4 million compared to £49.6 million and overall a good level of margin is being achieved by the company, the overall result reflects improved prices on contracts in progress. A review of the contracts being undertaken and awarded in the current financial year would indicate that the margin on contracts will be sustained with the level of turnover falling in the year to 30 April 2026 and then to increase in the 2027 financial year.”
- “The company has had a similar level of turnover in the year and the turnover is expected to be lower in the 2026 financial year and then to increase again in the 2027 financial year.”
