- Going concern
- Affirmed
“In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the directors' 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 financial statements are authorised for issue.”
Significant events
- “2025 marked another year of profitable performance for CDD. Despite the geopolitical turmoil created by wars and tariffs affecting the UK & EU economies, we managed to protect project results, closely control high risk projects, and gain a steady mix of new project business.”
- “The board has approved a final dividend in respect of the year ended 31 December 2025 amounting to £1,500,000 (2024- £1,100,000).”

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
