Audit & accounting basis
- Accounting basis

- Standalone (parent only)
- Auditor
- MHA
- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“the Board of Directors is satisfied that the Group has sufficient financial resources to continue to operate for a period of at least 12 months from the signing of the financial statements and therefore it continues to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the Group's and Company's annual financial statements.”
Significant events
- “The continued uncertainty and volatility within the UK construction sector and wider economy has resulted in a highly competitive tendering environment, extreme cost pressures and delays on new contract awards. This has in turn brought about lower revenues than expected. The ongoing business cost reduction programme has lowered our cost base helping mitigate some of the impacts of cost inflation experienced this year.”
- “BDL's relationship with key clients and suppliers remains strong with over £40m of work secured for the coming financial year.”
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
