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
“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.”
Group structure
- HUTCHEON INVESTMENTS LIMITED · parent
- HSB Holdings Limited 100%
- Hutcheon Services Limited 100%
- Bourtree Investments Limited 100%
Significant events
- “The ongoing impact of Brexit and the crisis in Ukraine still negatively impacts the construction industry business with increased material costs and longer delivery lead times, along with increasing labour costs and skills shortages.”
- “HSL's turnover for the year to 30 November 2024 has decreased from the 2023 level of £21.6m to around £20.5m. This was to be expected given the record level of turnover in 2023.”
- “The group has maintained profitability in the year to November 2024 due to the continuing high levels of turnover, effective control of overheads and efficiencies being made in its tendering, buying and operational processes.”
