Audit & accounting basis
- Accounting basis
- FRS 101 'Reduced Disclosure Framework'
- Reporting scope
- Standalone (parent only)
- Auditor
- KPMG
- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The Directors have a reasonable expectation that the Company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus, they continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the annual financial statements.”
Significant events
- “On 1 January 2025, the Company transferred a small part of its trade to its immediate parent company. It is expected that further contracts will transfer later in the year and in subsequent years. Eventually, SSCL will cease to bid for new work, allowing its parent to take up these opportunities.”
Auditor, going-concern and subsidiary information is drawn from the narrative of the latest annual accounts. About these numbers

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
