Going concern

Affirmed

“At the time of approving the financial statements the directors have a reasonable expectation that the company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. The directors have prepared cash flow forecasts to June 2028 which are regularly compared to the management accounts.”

Significant events

• “Global shocks such as the war in Ukraine and the Middle East conflict could affect the general economy and confidence in the construction market. Exchange rate movements affect the cost of equipment to purchase for our hire fleet and agency sales.”
• “Interest rates have stabilised and the new government have high targets for housebuilding, through reform of planning.”

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
