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
“The Directors have undertaken an exercise to review the appropriateness of the continued use of the going concern basis. After making suitable enquiries, the Directors have a reasonable expectation that the company has adequate resources to meet its liabilities as they fall due for at least the next twelve months. Accordingly, they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements.”
Significant events
- “The profit before tax amounts to £1,251k (2024: loss before tax £6,500k). As at 30 June 2025, the net assets of the company were £3,937k (2024: £4,077k). The return to profit is a testament to all the hard work and effort of the senior management team and their teams within Ogilvie Construction.”
- “The company continues to avoid single stage competitive tendering and into environments where negotiation or two stage tendering is the norm, such as procurement hubs and public frameworks.”
- “The company's investment in our Aberdeen Office is now established with further growth projected in the NE of Scotland. Pipeline is encouraging and is a key part to future strategy of the business.”
- “We continually look for operational efficiencies and productivity gains across Ogilvie Construction with effective use of our investment in processes and quality management systems.”
- “Ogilvie have developed their business plans over a number of markets to mitigate any risk of adverse changes in spending within any one market sector.”
