- Going concern
- Affirmed
“Notwithstanding net liabilities of £7.7m as of 31 December 2024, the financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis which the directors consider to be appropriate. This deficit has arisen due to the Company's pension scheme liability. This is subject to a long-term schedule of deficit repair contributions, agreed between the Company and trustees, which balances the needs of the scheme against affordability of the Company. Excluding the pension deficit, the Company has net current assets of £8,478k (2023: £8,225k). Our parent company also invested £12.5m of equity funding in the year to the business. Consequently, the directors are confident that the Company will have sufficient funds, through its current cash balances and continued access to centralised group treasury facilities, to continue to meet its liabilities as they fall due for at least 12 months from the date of approval of the financial statements and therefore have prepared the financial statements on a going concern basis. The immediate parent has confirmed to the directors its intention to keep providing the necessary support for at least the next twelve months from the date of approval of these financial statements to enable the company to continue to settle its liabilities as they fall due.”
Significant events
- “The Company closed out its last remaining problematic loss-making contract in January 2025.”
- “Losses on completion: This provision relates to three contracts. These amounts cover the risk of continued cost over runs beyond the agreed fixed/target price. It is expected that the full provision will be settled within one year.”

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
