- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The Directors expect that the Company and the group will have adequate resources, liquidity and available bank facilities to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Accordingly, they continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the Financial Statements. In addition, the Directors have received confirmation that Henry Boot PLC intends to support the Company up to 31 December 2026.”
Significant events
- “Group occupied offices at Callywhite Lane, Dronfield are under offer and therefore the expectation is that they will be sold during the year ending 31 December 2025. This property is currently held in assets held for sale at the expected sales price less expected costs to sell. As a result of this transaction rental income in future years will reduce from current levels.”
Auditor, going-concern and subsidiary information is drawn from the narrative of the latest annual accounts. About these numbers

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
