- 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 twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.”
Significant events
- “The UK construction market remained subdued throughout 2025, with private housebuilding activity continuing to operate below long-term norms and investment levels remaining cautious.”
- “During 2025, several new and enhanced products were introduced, strengthening our position across core market sectors.”
Auditor, going-concern and subsidiary information is drawn from the narrative of the latest annual accounts. About these numbers
