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
“At the time of approving the financial statements, the directors have a reasonable expectation that the company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus the directors continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.”
Significant events
- “The company operates in a complex environment subject to economic, operational and regulatory challenges. Key risks include labour shortages and skills gaps, volatility in material prices and supply chain, and broader economic uncertainty impacting demand and financing. Increasing reliance on digital systems introduces cybersecurity threats, while contractual complexities and evolving legal requirements pose compliance risks. Environmental factors, including extreme weather and sustainability obligations may affect project delivery and costs. Additionally, financial instability among subcontractors and suppliers could disrupt operations.”
Auditor, going-concern and subsidiary information is drawn from the narrative of the latest annual accounts. About these numbers
