- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- 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 company's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the original financial statements were authorised for issue.”
Significant events
- “The financial period ending 31 December 2024 marked a noticeable improvement compared to the previous year. While the construction sector continues to face challenges, overall trading conditions were more favorable, and demand for our core products and services strengthened during the period. The business maintained a strong focus on operational efficiency and cost control, which contributed to an improved gross profit margin of 22.33%, compared to 19.27% in the prior period.”
- “We have continued to invest in modernizing our plant and fleet to support future growth and sustainability. Our ongoing collaboration with academic partners to develop innovative recycling solutions remains a key strategic priority, with progress made toward creating a circular economy for our waste streams.”
- “Looking ahead, the business expects a gradual improvement in market conditions as confidence returns to the construction sector. We anticipate increased demand for our core products and services, supported by infrastructure and housing projects scheduled to commence in 2025.”
