Significant events
- “The acquisition of OFP Timber Framed Homes Limited in the year was a further addition to Chartway Group's internal supply chain, bringing vital elements of housing delivery inhouse.”
- “The share structure of the Group changed on 1st June 2024 (post year ending 31 May 2024), with management transferring 21.5% of the Company's shareholding to Cabot Square Capital.”
- “On 19th August 2025 management transferred a further 4.2% of the Company's shareholding to Cabot Square Capital.”
- “On 19th August 2025 the Group disposed of 100% of the share capital of Discovery Stairs Limited.”
- “The full year result for the business returned an EBITDA before exceptionals of £1.1m (2023 - £10.0m as restated), the reduction due to the lower margin profile of the partnerships model aside an increased investment in group overhead to support future growth.”
- “The result for the year was a profit before tax of £22.2m (2023 - profit of £10.0m as restated), noting this includes an exceptional credit of £21.1m (2023 - £Nil). The exceptional credit in the period relates to the write-off of £22.9m of debt previously held by Group companies above Chartway Group Limited, partially offset by the impairment of £1.8m of goodwill arising from the acquisition of OFP timber frame Limited in the year (see note 12).”

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
