- Auditor
- Lovewell Blake LLP
- 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
- “The prolonged economic uncertainty and challenges with planning continue to affect customer build programmes which along with shortage of experienced labour in the UK and the local region remains a risk to business. Alongside this is inflation risk impacting the cost of labour and materials.”
- “2025 has been a strong year for the company, where the turnover and performance of the company has grown during a continuing challenging economic environment.”
- “We have a strong order book, boosted by several new site starts in the second half of 2025 which we are continuing to deliver throughout 2026 and beyond.”
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
