- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“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
- “The directors are pleased with the company's strong trading performance in 2024. The drop in turnover (£53,184,400) reflects the timing of some projects, with the start date being delayed in some instances. Gross profit margin improved as old contracts, which were priced Pre Covid, finished in the previous financial year. The company has continued to respond to the market demands. Overall order books are good and contract wins towards the end of the financial year means that turnover in 2025 is expected to increase.”
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
