Audit opinion

Going concern

Affirmed

“In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the director's 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 group's and the 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.”

Significant events

• “The 2024/25 financial year marked a notable improvement following a more challenging prior year. This advance has been driven by both operational resilience and continued investment in innovation, people and infrastructure.”
• “The implications of The Building Safety Act to bring about improvements in supply chain due diligence, meaning price alone will be less of a deciding factor for at least some within the market.”
• “The water industry has been under the spotlight in recent years with accusations of under investment, and whilst free cash in many of the water companies is limited, increased scrutiny is likely to lead to both increased capital and maintenance investment through the AMP8 period (2025-2030).”
• “After the lean years of COVID, aerospace and defence are also showing signs of growth. Geopolitical instability has historically driven increased investment in defence infrastructure.”
• “The creation of a Senior Leadership Team and a series of sub-teams ensure that our strategic objectives are communicated consistently throughout the group and are paying dividends in the way we win work and forge new business relationships.”
• “Project Paddington, which went live in 2025/26, has had a major positive impact on productivity and wellbeing, as well as in recruitment and retention.”

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
