“Given that these forecasts are not prepared by statutory entity, and should the need arise, a signed letter of support, confirming ongoing support throughout an equivalent period has been obtained from the Company's ultimate parent company, CRH plc, for which forward looking plans have also been prepared to reflect severe but plausible downside scenarios. Even considering plausible downside scenarios, there are sufficient funds to allow the Company to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future.”
Significant events
- “In 2024, we reused over 1 million tonnes of Recycled Asphalt Planings (RAP) in our asphalt production process, and over 140,000t of material was optimised to support efficient reuse and recycling in our blocks business... In 2024, we recycled 96.5 per cent of the waste generated across our operations and only sent around 6,566 tonnes of waste to landfill.”
- “The UK government continues to invest in major infrastructure projects to support economic growth, national renewal and greater productivity. In 2024, the National Infrastructure and Construction Pipeline policy paper noted £700-775bn of planned investment spend over the 10 years, relating to 660 planned projects. This contributes to strong medium to long term prospects for the Company...”

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
