Going concern

Affirmed

“The financial statements are prepared on a going concern basis. This assumes that the Company will continue to trade for the foreseeable future, being a period of at least twelve months from the date of approval of these financial statements. The Company is part of a group of companies engaged in contracting and construction activities, with its contracting business making extensive use of assets owned by its subsidiary undertakings. The Company's cash position remained strong during the year, reflecting management's focus on this key metric. Demand for the business's expertise remains robust, both from within the United Kingdom and from overseas, and despite a short-term dip in secured work due to the political and economic uncertainty during the last year, the pipeline of opportunities continues to grow.”

Significant events

• “The last year saw business turnover reduce in line with forecast expectations whilst maintaining an acceptable profit across works both in the UK and overseas.”
• “2025 has seen HS2 continue albeit in some areas at a reduced pace whilst the Government instigated reset is being undertaken by new leadership on the project.”
• “a significant contract win in Bahrain has commenced late in 2025 which will see volumes increase in the coming year.”
• “The lack of payment Joseph Gallagher International Limited ("JGIL") suffered in Abu Dhabi in 2021 remains an issue. Amicable resolution has not been achieved and JGIL has now commenced arbitration proceedings which will carry on throughout 2026.”
• “After an exceptional performance in the previous year, as expected the Company has seen a reduction in turnover with the slow down in HS2 works and delayed starts on other projects.”

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
