“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.

Significant events
- “The UK construction industry in 2024/25 has experienced mixed results, although the economic outlook remained positive. Even with growth forecast to be 1.9% in 2025 and 3.7% in 2026, there has been a consistent number of construction companies which have become insolvent year on year.”

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
