- 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. Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the Company's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.”

Significant events
- “During 2025, the business saw some changes throughout the business, including Design Management, IT Management and Contracts Management. The handover process for the new Managers has been seamless, and they have integrated well into the wider business.”
- “In October, Directors Nigel Stephens and Andy Skilton announced their retirements from the business in April 2026. This presents the business with an opportunity to integrate our Project Delivery teams along with a strategic realignment of our Business Development and Pre Construction Operations.”
