Going concern

Affirmed

“The financial statements have been prepared on the going concern basis, which assumes that the Company will continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. The Company is a wholly owned subsidiary of Laing O'Rourke Holdings Limited... The Directors have assessed whether the going concern basis of preparation is appropriate by reference to the position of the LOR Holdings Group, as the Company is reliant on its trading relationship with, and financial support from, this group of companies.”

Significant events

• “On 30 June 2025, the Group signed a purchase agreement for the trade and assets of Explore Transport Limited, which completed on 31 July 2025. Group also signed sale agreement for 50% equity interest in Prigmore Haulage Limited. Company waived on 11 July 2025 an intercompany balance of £1.8m from Glass Reinforced Concrete UK Limited.”

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
