Audit & accounting basis
- Accounting basis
- FRS 102
- Reporting scope
- Standalone (parent only)
- Auditor
- Johnston Carmichael LLP
- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The Directors are confident that the company will have sufficient funds to continue to meet its liabilities as they fall due for at least 12 months from the date of approval of the financial statements and therefore have prepared the financial statements on a going concern basis.”
Significant events
- “The increased profit this year is as a result of increased operating costs in relation to lifecycle and therefore resulting increase in service revenue.”
- “The company has net liabilities of £11,380,000 (2023: £15,960,000). This position has increased as a result of the decrease in RPI swap to £13,798,000 (2023: £14,659,000) and decrease in the closing liability relating to the interest rate swap to £1,776,000 (2023: closing liability £5,318,000).”
- “During the year ended 31 December 2024 the safety performance of the company's sub-contractors was considered satisfactory.”

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
