Going concern

Affirmed

“In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the directors' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate. 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 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.”

Significant events

• “The Company enjoyed a strong financial performance this year with a 31% increase in turnover to £70.1m (2024: £53.5m).”
• “Turnover growth in 2025 was underpinned by relationships sustained with a number of key clients including United Utilities (UU), Manchester Airport Group (MAG), Trans Pennine Route Alliance, and a number of local Highways Authorities.”
• “The Company was also successful in securing further engagement with UU via the NMS framework and developing a pipeline for future opportunities through the Design & Build AMP8, Build Only AMP8 and Reservoir AMP8 Frameworks.”
• “The new financial year has begun well, with in excess of 75% of budgeted turnover already secured or accounted for in anticipated awards, supported with a strong cash balance.”

Each % is (latest − prior) ÷ |prior| for the line item as filed. Periods don't have to be exactly 12 months apart — a long or short period (typical around incorporation or year-end changes) will distort the comparison. Lines a company doesn't report are omitted. About these numbers
