Audit opinion

Going concern

Affirmed

“After making enquiries and considering the factors and sensitivities outlined above for a range of scenarios, the Directors have a reasonable expectation that the Group has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future, without drawing on the revolving credit facility available. Thus, they continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the annual financial statements.”

Significant events

• “2024 saw a record £1.3 billion of new contract awards, providing a current order book of over £2.5 billion.”
• “The UK's most prestigious business accolade, and we secured a record-breaking fifth title, this time for Sustainable Development.”
• “Willmott Dixon is the only partner on three of the five key frameworks recognised by the "Constructing the Gold Standard" verification scheme”
• “Significant progress was made in 2024, with a net exceptional profit injection of £30.3 million taking total profit before tax and amortisation of goodwill to £57.1 million.”
• “Significantly, the third-party recoveries, generated £34.1 million of cash receipts, £32.5 million of which was received early in 2025, materially improving the balance sheet”
• “In 2024 there were 20 RIDDORS (Reporting of Injuries, Diseases and Dangerous Occurrences Regulations) across a total of 9,772,672 hours worked on site. This gave us an Accident Frequency Rate (AFR) of just 0.20 (2023: 0.04). While this performance remains good, we cannot ignore the slight increase in the AFR and will be implementing a series of improvements in 2025.”

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
