Audit & accounting basis
- Accounting basis
- FRS 102
- Reporting scope
- Standalone (parent only)
- Auditor
- KPMG LLP
- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The Directors have a reasonable expectation that the Company has the resources to continue in operational existence for at least twelve months from the date of signing these financial statements. Thus it continues to adopt the going concern assumption in preparing the annual financial statements.”
Significant events
- “An interim dividend of £81.7m (2023: £nil) was paid during the year.”
- “The Company made an adjusted operating profit pre-tax of £3.0m for the year ended 31 December 2024 (2023: £15.8m). Operating loss for the year is £9.3m (2023: profit of £14.6m) including an £11.7m branch impairment charge (2023: nil) which reflects the challenging trading conditions and extended period of low market volumes in the UK construction sector.”
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
