- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The Company has a strong Balance Sheet at 31 March 2025 with total net assets of £59.7M and cash of £10.7M. The Directors have reviewed forecasts for the Group to 30 September 2026, along with the current funding arrangements available to the Group and concluded that the Group has adequate liquidity headroom and mitigation strategies to continue to operate for at least the next 12 months from approval of these financial statements and meet its liabilities as they fall due. The Directors therefore have a reasonable expectation that the Group and therefore the Company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future.”
Significant events
- “On 23 June 2023, the CLC group of companies was acquired by HIG Capital LLC through a new corporate entity, Repair Bidco UK Limited, when this entity acquired the entire share capital of Hilbre Holdings Ltd, the ultimate holding company of the Company.”
- “On 9 August 2024, Repair Bidco UK Limited acquired the Axis group of companies ("Axis"). The Ultimate Group that was formed by this acquisition brings together Axis and CLC to layer expertise and geographical spread of capabilities to allow further growth for both businesses and together to form a leading UK provider of essential maintenance and compliance services for critical property assets.”

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
