Financials

	Turnover (£'000)	Adjusted EBITDA (£'000)
2025 (Actual)	2,962	496
2026 (Forecast)	3,006	543
2027 (Forecast)	3,156	569

The Company delivered a strong FY25 performance, generating £496k of adjusted EBITDA and maintaining a 20% gross profit margin. This followed a stronger period in FY22-FY24 resulting from a construction boom driven by significant government sector support post-Covid which came to a natural end.

The Company forecasts growth, with revenues expected to rise to £3.01m in FY26 and £3.16m in FY27. Adjusted EBITDA is expected to increase to £543k and £569k respectively, supported by a scalable cost base and continued operational efficiency
