- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The conclusion from this detailed analysis is that the company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for at least 12 months from the date of approval of these financial statements. Accordingly, they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements.”
Significant events
- “2024 saw a reduction in order intake due to increased competitive, pressure and reduced direct headcount, with a shortage of front-line employees impacting the ability to deliver projects. The rollout of a new ERP system and business processes to the company during the year, also had an impact on the overall profitability due to admin and management time spent on this project.”
- “The company intends to continue its strategy of developing framework agreements with key water utility customers during 2025, which is the first year of the new AMP8.”

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
