Audit opinion

Unqualified (clean)

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 group's and 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

• “As a group of companies, we have experienced a very good set of results despite the challenging trading conditions in recent years. The standout result this year was from a strong performance from A E Yates Limited.”
• “A E Yates Limited increased turnover to £93m from £53m, the PBIT has increased to £3.2m (2024: £2.7m). Unfortunately, the turnover of SPI Piling Ltd decreased to £9.6m (2024: £14.1m), resulting in a reported loss for the year of circa £1m but indications for the current year are that conditions are improving and it is expected that there will be a return to profitability in 2026.”
• “Our energy/power division has continued to make impressive inroads into the regional electricity sector and has maintained our strong presence in the renewables, power transmission, and waste management market.”
• “In May 2025, A E Yates Group achieved a significant milestone when its near-term emissions reduction target was formally validated by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) and published on the SBTi target dashboard.”

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
