Audit & accounting basis
- Accounting basis
- FRS 102
- Reporting scope
- Standalone (parent only)
- Auditor
- Menzies LLP
- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The company has significant cash reserves of £6m (2023: £5.5m). It generates consistent cash inflows from operations and has liabilities that can be discharged without external funding. No foreseeable reasons why the company should not prepare the 2024 financial statements on a going concern basis.”
Significant events
- “Significant pressure on fixed price contracts since 2022 with unprecedented price increases in raw building materials and labour, combined with non-availability of goods, has been challenging. The company adapted its approach to new tenders and updated procurement strategies.”
- “A backlog in regulator approvals and project commencements is delaying projects. The situation is constantly monitored, and the company remains agile to deal with approvals.”
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. 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
