- Alexander Knight & Co Limited
- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the directors' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate. Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the Company's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.”
Significant events
- “Our strategy to concentrate on our key profitable markets resulted in achieving an operating profit of circa £3.3M (2023 - £1.4M) demonstrating year on year growth and this is reflected in our net balance increasing to £4.7M (2023 - £3.9M).”
- “The main areas of operation are nationwide, mainly due to the Energy/Power division secured frameworks supported by repeat works on behalf of our Private selected clients. Our presence in this marketplace continues to grow and attract new clients for the year 2024/25.”
- “Our Midlands division is well established, delivering repeat negotiated partnering with key land developers on various sites across Birmingham, Wales, and Oxford. Recently securing new extension phases, which are underway.”
- “Our order book and expected works are circa £35M, indicating the continued trends will be satisfactory for the year 2024-25 and through to the end of 2026.”
- “Recognised by the Investors in People North of England team, retaining our Gold status award for another three year cycle (May 2025).”
- “On the 25th of October 2024, a new ultimate controlling party, ACS Corporation Holdings Limited was created.”
- “During the year, the company disposed of 50% of the shares in Sitedesk Limited, reducing its shareholding from 77.13% to 38.6%. Therefore, it is no longer a subsidiary but an associate.”
- “There have been no significant events affecting the Company since the year end.”

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
