Going concern

Affirmed

“The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis. The Directors have taken note of the guidance issued by the Financial Reporting Council on Going Concern Assessments in determining that this is the appropriate basis of preparation of the financial statements and have considered a number of factors: The financial position of the Company, its prominent market position and the positive orderbook leave the Company well placed for another positive year in 2025. The Directors have reviewed forecasts and projections for 2025 and for at least 12 months from the date of the approval of the financial statements, including sensitivity analysis, to assess the Company's resilience to potential adverse outcomes including a highly pessimistic 'severe but plausible' scenario... Notwithstanding the stress tests that have been completed on the forecasts and projections the Company projects that it would have sufficient resources to continue trading without the requirement for any external funding requirements. Further details are included in the Group financial statements. The Directors expect that the Company has sufficient resources to enable it to continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements.”

Significant events

• “In 2024 Billington delivered a robust performance. 2023 was an exceptional year for Billington and the 2024 performance should be viewed in this context. There was a focus on more complex projects with a reduced quantum of steel per factory hour on average than previously. This is reflected in a reduction in revenue of 17.8% to £97.7m.”
• “The year noted a range of contracts, across a number of sectors and throughout the United Kingdom. Major projects included: Amazon, Hull; Smartparc Plot 9, Derby; Rivenhall EfW, Essex; Circle Square, Manchester; NLHPP EfW, North London.”
• “Capital investment projects continued in 2024 and improved production efficiencies and product quality. During the year there were capital additions of £3.0m, with a new Laser cutting machine installed at the Wombwell facility and a new Cope / Drill line installed at the Shafton facility.”

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
