- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The cashflow forecast indicates that facilities currently available will enable the company to meet its liabilities as they fall due. The forecast covers the period to September 2026, has been sensitised and iterated to reflect a number of different scenarios. For this reason, the Directors have concluded that there are no material uncertainties relating to the going concern assumption. The financial statements have therefore been prepared on a going concern basis which assumes the company will continue on operational existence for the foreseeable future.”
Significant events
- “Turnover reduction in 2024 attributable to delays in programme timing for two major projects.”
- “Strong order book for 2025 and 2026 indicating continued success.”

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
