- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The Company is reporting a positive net current asset position and have reviewed the current performance and prepared cash flow forecasts for the next 12 months which shows sufficient cash balances to fund the business. The realisation of these forecasts may be affected by a number of factors, including changes in customer behaviour, however, the directors are confident that the Company has adequate resources to continue its operations for the foreseeable future. For this reason, they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements.”
Significant events
- “activity levels on two significant contracts, High Speed Rail (HS2) and Thames Tideway, have decreased in 2024. This reduction has driven the fall in turnover.”
- “The Directors have also reviewed the impact of the ongoing Ukraine conflict and the impact this has had on cost inflation to the business. The company, where possible, is reflecting the increased costs within future tenders along with seeking protection through contractual terms to mitigate any impact.”
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
