Audit & accounting basis
- Accounting basis

- Ernst & Young LLP
- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The Company's balance sheet shows net assets of £560,787k (2023: £616,573k) and net current liabilities of £134,850k (2023: £80,945k). The Company participates in the Group centralised treasury arrangements. The Company is managed as part of the UK group and budgets and forecasts are prepared at that level. The UK group's forecasts and budgets identify that the UK group is expected to remain cash generative and therefore be able to meet its liabilities as they fall due for the period until 30 June 2026. A key assumption in the UK group's forecasts is the continuing availability of funds that are swept into the Group Treasury cash pooling arrangements and that the intercompany loans provided to the Company from its UK parent company, Holcim Participations Limited will not be due for repayment in the going concern assessment period. The Directors have considered the maturity date of the Company's liabilities, the ability of the Company to cover short term repayments and the latest available forecasts. The Directors have received confirmation from the ultimate UK Parent company, Holcim Participations UK Limited ("HPUK") that additional funding will be made available to allow the Company to meet its financial obligations as they fall due for a period from the date of approval of the financial statements to 30 June 2026. HPUK has in turn received confirmation from the ultimate parent company ("Holcim Limited") that additional funding will be made available to allow the Company to meet its financial obligations as they fall due for a period from the date of approval of the financial statements to 30 June 2026. The Directors have satisfied themselves that the Group (Holcim Limited and its subsidiaries) has the necessary financial resources to provide this support during this period, should it be required. After considering of all of the above, the Directors have a reasonable expectation to conclude that the Company has adequate resources to continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements.”

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
