Audit opinion

Unqualified (clean)

Going concern

Affirmed

“At the time of approving the financial statements, the directors have a reasonable expectation that the company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus the directors continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.”

Significant events

• “Significant projects this year have included our continued work on Debris Screens around the North west, working on frameworks for the Environment agency, and Independent Drainage Boards on their flood defence projects. These have featured new Pumping Stations, floodgates, river repairs, upgrading assets, and working closely on environmental impacts.”
• “This year CHC began work on a scheme for the National Trust at Formby, with the repositioning of the drifted sand dunes, and creating a new visitor carpark, a really prestigious and sensitive contract involving work with Environmentalists, and the local community.”
• “Brownfield remediation work has been completed in the year in the Midlands with the utilisation of our extensive plant fleet and expertise in groundworks.”
• “We were delighted to be awarded the Social Value Award at the annual CECA North West dinner for the work that we have done with Project Recce, supporting service leavers and veterans into employment within the construction industry.”
• “Our annual charitable donations continue to support local organisations; we sponsor a local netball team; several boys and girls football teams and fund two pupils through a Bursary Scheme at Bury Grammar school.”
• “The business continues to donate annually to Cancer Research UK and at Christmas time, our employees and suppliers collected a large amount of toys for the Salvation Army çift appeal in both Barrow in Furness and Gainsborough, both close to where we had contracts at the time.”
• “Furthermore, supporting the North West Training Group's Christmas appeal for St Helens Young Carers. An extremely worthwhile experience for the company was to support the Panathlon Challenge, a national charity which supports children with disabilities and special needs opportunities to engage in competitive sport.”

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
