“The Directors have performed an assessment on the ability of the Company to operate on a going concern basis. This includes an assessment of the Company's financial position and forecast performance, Heidelberg Materials UK's divisional cash flow forecasts up to December 2026 and other relevant enquiries, including: the on-going impact of geopolitical instability in Ukraine and the Middle East and other political uncertainties; energy and raw material market volatility; persistent inflationary pressures; proposed tariffs; relatively high interest rates and the overarching impact these factors have on construction and consumer markets, as well as consideration of identifiable risks made by the ultimate parent undertaking, Heidelberg Materials AG, on their global business activities. The ultimate parent undertaking continues to operate on a going concern basis. The Directors continue to see ongoing demand for the Company's products and have a reasonable expectation that the Company will be able to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future having considered the risks and uncertainties that are relevant to both the Company and its ultimate parent undertaking and therefore they continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.”
Significant events
- “During the year, the Company commissioned the building of a static wash plant, following a successful trial of a mobile wash plant to recycle waste material.”
- “Construction also commenced on a rail siding to deliver virgin aggregates from quarries operated by Heidelberg Materials UK to sell into the Manchester market.”
- “In December 2024 the Company arranged finance of £11,000,000, from its ultimate parent undertaking, Heidelberg Materials AG, to fund the installation of a static wash plant and a rail siding to transport aggregates into the Manchester market.”
- “The rail siding was completed in July 2025 and is now fully operational with virgin aggregates being railed in from Horton quarry.”
- “The new static wash plant is under construction and due to be completed later in 2025.”
