Material uncertainty over going concern
We draw attention to note 2 in the financial statements, which describes the material uncertainty relating to going concern. On 3 November 2025, the immediate parent company signed an agreement to sell its entire stake in the Group. As stated in note 2, there is uncertainty regarding the new owner's strategic plans and potential restructuring following completion of the sale. These events and conditions indicate that a material uncertainty exists that may cast significant doubt on the Company and Group's ability to continue as a going concern. Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter. 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.

Significant events
- “During 2023, after carefully considering Harris Pye's business and the global opportunity set, the Harris Pye Group decided that it will transition its business away from the UK to direct more resources to the global offshore and marine space and Middle East land markets over the long term. As of May 2024, all the projects were completed and operations of the Company ceased. Following cessation of operations, the Company continued to hold investments in trading entities and operated as a holding entity of the Group.”
- “Subsequent to the year-end, Harris Pye DMCC was carved out of the Group. Furthermore, on 3 November 2025, the parent company, Joulon EU Acquisitions S.A.R.L, entered into a share purchase agreement to sell its entire shareholding in Harris Pye Engineering Group Limited to an external party. The agreement is currently pending regulatory approvals. Directors have assessed these events and concluded that they represent non-adjusting subsequent events under FRS 102; therefore, no adjustments have been made to the amounts recognised in these financial statements.”

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
