Material uncertainty over going concern
In previous years, the financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis. However, the directors have taken the decision to transfer new trading to another company within the group, Severfield Commercial & Industrial Ltd (formerly Severfield UK Limited) from 1 April 2024. Accordingly, the directors have not prepared the financial statements on a going concern basis.

- “From the 1st April 2024, the separate business units that formed the Commercial & Industrial Division began contracting with clients as one entity as Severfield Commercial & Industrial Limited. Securing work and contracting under the one single entity will provide greater clarity in the marketplace for our division.

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
