BUSINESS REVIEW

The Group has undertaken many projects across the UK. This year has seen the continuing development of the Havant Thicket Reservoir in a joint venture as Future Water MJJV Limited. This flagship project is a design and construction contract to deliver a new reservoir inclusive of earthworks, rip rap, temporary site drainage and access roads. Once completed, the reservoir will hold approximately 8.7 billion litres of water and the capacity to supply up to 21 million litres of water each day. It will be one mile from east to west, half a mile from north to south, with a new wetland on its northern shore, and is being built on a 160-hectare grassland site.

The Group is a market leader in delivering onshore wind farms and has constructed over 1800MW of infrastructure and built over 700 turbine foundations. The Group has successfully transferred these skills to onshore connections for offshore wind farms and tidal energy projects

This year has seen substantial construction of the North Kyle Wind Farm, a 49-turbine project in East Ayrshire which will have the capacity to power more than 160,000 households. The project required the construction of site access and approximately 39km of site tracks to allow the transport of 49 wind turbine assemblies.

The Group has begun construction on the Windy Standard III Wind Farm in Dumfries and Galloway, which will have the capacity to power more than 130,000 UK homes annually. The Project will be capable of generating 87.6 megawatts of renewable energy.

The Group has entered a joint venture with ACCIONA on the Scapa Deep Water Quay in Holm on the Orkney Islands after being awarded a Pre-Construction Services Agreement (PCSA). The scheme is set to be a key renewable energy hub.

There have been significant advancements in battery energy storage schemes with the design and construction of a 240MW Battery Energy Storage Solution at Uskmouth. The Group have also been involved in the construction of a Greener Grid Park in Swansea which will facilitate the connection of synchronous compensators to the National Electricity Transmission System (NETS).

The Group played a key role in the expansion of one of the world's largest ferry operators' freight businesses on the Wirral. Work carried out at 12 Quays Terminal included the creation of 200 additional spaces for freight, international ship and port facility security (ISPS) fencing, and four 30-metre-high lighting columns.

The Group has a long history of delivering Coastal Defence and Marine Infrastructure across the UK and this year saw the commencement of the Kinmel Bay Coastal Defence Scheme. The project will improve flood defences for coastal properties. Plans include raising and widening the rock armour and raising the seawall as well as upgrades to public spaces.

The Group has boosted the ecological security of the Joint Stocks Waste Management Project in Durham, with 70,000m² of earthworks carried out and 50,000m² of permanent capping undertaken as part of the works. In addition, 30 new gas wells were constructed to safely extract gas to be used to generate electricity.

Frameworks are in place with the leading waste management companies and there were many projects including landfill cells and capping which were delivered in the year under these contracts. In addition, the business has considerable experience in planning and carrying out surfacing works with the in-house specialist surfacing division.

Cambrian Services Limited provides specialist concrete production, soil stabilisation, quarrying & aggregate production services to the wider business. This company was sold out of the Group after the year end.

FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE

The statement of Comprehensive Income is set out on page 13.

The Group reported turnover of £157.5 million for the year ended 2025 (2024: £166.0 million), with profit before taxation of £7.5 million (2024: £7.4 million). Civil Engineering operations contributed £150.5 million to Group turnover (2024: £155.7 million), delivering an operating profit margin of 4.0% (2024: 4.6%).

The Group's financial position continued to strengthen, with net assets increasing by £5.5 million (11.2%) to £54.7 million as at year-end (2024: £49.2 million) including cash balances of £30.4 million (2024: £32.4 million).

During the year, the Group continued to invest substantially in its fleet of plant and vehicles, with capital expenditure totalling £10.8 million in 2024/25 (£17.6 million in 2023/24). These investments support the Group's strategy of self-delivery by ensuring access to a modern, efficient fleet equipped with the latest technology.

The Directors have assessed the Group's financial position and performance and are satisfied that it has adequate resources to continue operating for the foreseeable future. The Group has no debt servicing obligations and maintains sufficient cash reserves to meet short-term working capital and investment requirements. Supported by a strong order book and continued profitability, the Group is expected to remain cash generative over the next twelve months. Accordingly, the financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis.

The Group's director and subsidiary Board directors consider various key performance indicators on a frequent basis. These include turnover, operating profit, average number of employees and net assets.

RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES

The directors have identified the following risks and uncertainties affecting the Group.

Market Risk

The Group operates in a highly competitive trading environment and faces risk and challenges as it delivers its projects. Uncertainties in regulatory, political, design, finance and planning environment can lead to delays in the construction programme and additional costs. Strong customer relationships are key to the business. In order to mitigate the various challenges, prequalification information and collaborative discussions of client requirements are important for establishing project requirements and contractual terms and the project delivery teams engage with project stakeholders throughout the delivery of each project. The management team meet regularly to review pipeline, contract risks, future tenders and pricing, and reports to the Board. The Board regularly reviews these as well as the strategic risk register.

The Group works with various industry and regulatory bodies to participate in the strategy and approach to managing compliance risk, best practice and collaborate on the issues and challenges facing the industry. The Group is an active member on several industry bodies including CECA, CBI and Renewables UK and attends and contributes to meetings and consultations.

Skilled Labour Shortage and Resource Planning

A shortage of skilled labour, particularly plant operators, presents a major risk to delivering projects on time and to a high standard. To address this, the Group has invested heavily in its apprenticeship and training programmes and has recruited over seventy apprentices and trainees in the last three years, and the in-house training centre delivers accredited Construction Plant Competence Scheme (CPCS) training. The management team, workforce and HR teams meet regularly and use in house developed software tools to plan and forecast plant and labour resources and the Group has established good relationships with its supply chain.

Health, Safety and Quality Risk

Maintaining high standards in health, safety and quality assurance is vital to the Group's operations. This is managed through an Integrated Business Quality Management System that includes Quality, Environmental and Health and Safety. A dedicated team also focus on training on the processes, and the Quality Management System is continually audited and improvements made where required. The system is accredited to the following international and UK standards:

-Construction Health and Safety Management System certified to ISO 45001

-Environmental Management System certified to BS EN ISO 14001

-Quality Management System certified to BS EN ISO 9001

-Energy Management System certified to BS EN ISO 50001

The Group was awarded the Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents (RoSPA) Order of Distinction (17 Consecutive Gold) Award for health and safety performance. The Group prioritises the wellbeing and health of its staff, providing support to our dedicated staff and is a proud sponsor of Mates in Mind. A team of Mental First Aiders is established in the Group

Environmental Risk and Sustainability

As a civil engineering company with a large modern heavy plant fleet, environmental sustainability is a priority with risks including environmental performance, regulatory changes and carbon emissions. The Group has an established Energy Steering Group which guides its carbon reduction strategy and monitors performance. The Group continually strives to improve its environmental performance through on-going sustainability initiatives.

The Group is committed to playing an active role in local communities in which it operates. It actively engages with communities including involving local residents in our projects, supporting local schools, fostering future talent, sponsorship and financial support and contributing to the growth of local economies, leaving a positive legacy that benefits current and future generations.

Procurement and financing risk

The Group is exposed to inflation risks, credit exposure, procurement and supply chain risks which can affect cash flow and project viability. The Group monitors and manages inflation risk and, although it could be a significant risk on input costs, generally, fuel price escalation and specific material indexation clauses are built into the terms or negotiated on many of our contracts to ensure this is managed effectively going forward.

The Group finances its operations through cash balances generated from retained earnings and has no external borrowings. Financial performance and cash balances are regularly reviewed at the Board Meetings. Meetings are also held with financial institutions and information is regularly shared.

The Group does not trade in financial instruments or financial derivatives. The Group's exposure to foreign currency risk is not significant. When materials imported are of significant value steps are taken to mitigate foreign exchange risk. The credit worthiness of new customers is assessed at contract tender stage and the Group has a credit insurance policy in place to help mitigate significant losses from debtors defaulting.

The Group has many supply chain partners and seeks to have robust and clear procurement process with sharing of key information on terms and conditions, standards required and contractual terms. A decentralised procurement process allows increased direct engagement with the project teams and supply chain.

Changing technology - The integrated quality management and document system including business and commercial management tools are well established in the company and are continually being enhanced to adapt to business needs, AI technology and regulatory changes.

Significant investment has been made in a modern plant fleet with latest technology and ongoing development continues in the area of mobile and digital working implementing IT hardware and software at the sites which offers the project teams and clients the systems and secure connections to work in remote environments using mobile technology.

SECTION 172(1) STATEMENT

The Directors confirm that they are compliant with Section 172 of the Companies Act 2006, that is, duty to promote the success of the Company for the benefit of all members as a whole. In doing so the Directors have regard, amongst other matters, for the following:

i)

The likely consequences of decision making in the long term

ii)

The need to foster relationships with suppliers, customers and others

iii)

The impact of company operations on the community and the environment

iv)

Engagement with and regard to the interests of employees (impact of decision making)

v)

Reputation for high standards of business conduct

vi)

Acting fairly between members of the Company

The Board has actively undertaken measures to advance and uphold the Group's strategic objectives. Regular Board meetings are convened with Group Directors and the Business Owner, structured around a defined agenda that prioritises the long-term success of the Group. These meetings are supported by comprehensive Board papers, ensuring informed decision-making and alignment with objectives.

KEY STAKEHOLDER ENGAGEMENT

In addition to the stakeholders identified explicitly in S172(1) the Group also consider the following as key to the business:

i.

Subcontractors and agency supply chain providers

ii.

Local communities, both in North Wales where the company is head quartered and communities across the UK where its projects are based

iii.

Government & regulatory bodies particularly relevant to the Group's operations including environmental regulatory bodies (NRW, SEPA, EA), health & safety (Health & Safety Executive) and taxation (HM Revenue & Customs)

iv.

The industry as a whole

v.

Financial institutions including banks, performance security providers and insurers

The Group is a family-owned inter-generational business and adopts a long term strategic view that balances commercial success with the interests of a wide range of stakeholders and the delivery of sustainable value over successive generations.

KEY DECISIONS AND STRATEGIES IN THE YEAR

There have been no significant changes to Group strategy and approach during the period, with continued progression with the established plan. The Group has maintained early and open communications with members, employees, clients, suppliers, industry and financial institutions.

EMPLOYMENT POLICY

Employees are key to the success of Jones Bros. The Group has continued to reinvest in staff, plant and technology to drive efficient processes. During the year the average size of the Group's direct work force increased by 5% to 498 (474 in 2024), with an increase in the use of a short-term skilled workforce during the busier summer season for shorter periods. This approach allows the Group to build a highly skilled, flexible team across all disciplines, with a focus on upskilling the operative workforce to operate a variety of plant machinery to a high level of competency and using the in-house accredited training centre.

The Group ran an award-winning Level 2 apprenticeship scheme for over a decade, which successfully contributed to the development of many of the current workforce. It also runs a trainee scheme. These have been instrumental in fostering internal talent and supporting the Group's growth.

The Group boasts strong staff retention rates, with numerous employees having committed to the company for many years and this longevity reflects the Group's commitment to career development, training and the ongoing professional progression of its employees.

Communication and consultation with employees is a fundamental aspect of the Group's operations. Any changes made to policies or procedures are communicated to all staff through multiple channels including face to face consultation meetings, email, SMS texts, bulletins, newsletters, a Joint Consultation Committee, site visits and daily briefings.

The Group is committed to providing equal opportunities to all existing and potential employees. It is supportive of the employment and advancement of disabled and disadvantaged persons. Employees who may become disabled are, wherever possible, supported with appropriate training and equipment so that they can continue their employment within the Group.

The Directors of the Group Companies extend their gratitude and thanks to all Jones Bros employees for their loyalty, dedication, and hard work. These efforts have been crucial to the ongoing success and growth of the business.

STREAMLINED ENERGY AND CARBON REPORTING (SECR)

Jones Bros Ruthin Co Limited discloses energy, carbon and related data for the Group aligned to the UK Government Streamlined Energy and Carbon Reporting Requirements ("SECR") and produces an Annual Energy Review in line with the requirements of the ISO 50001:2018 standard to which we are accredited.

Jones Bros Carbon Output

The total Carbon Output of Jones Bros Ruthin Co Limited equates to 18,653 tonnes of CO2e for the financial year 2024/25. Against Jones Bros annual turnover of £157 million this equates to 118.43 tonnes of carbon per £million of turnover for 2024/25. This is one of our EnPI (Energy Performance Indicators) for Jones Bros and shows approx. 7.0% increase from 2023/24's figure of 110.68 tonnes of carbon per £million of turnover. This equates to a cumulative 23.4% improvement/reduction in our EnPI over last 5 years.

FUTURE DEVELOPMENTS

In the 2025/26 financial year and beyond, the Group plans to continue focusing on winning civil engineering contracts and long-term partnerships. These projects will make the most of the team's specialist skills and the Group's extensive modern fleet of large plant.

The Group aims to keep a well-balanced portfolio of work across different clients, carefully managing risks while delivering sustainable solutions. It will also continue to explore ways to use new technologies and AI to improve efficiency and remains committed to being a trusted partner, delivering high-quality projects.

STATEMENT OF DIRECTOR'S RESPONSIBILITIES

The director is responsible for preparing the Group Strategic Report, the Report of the Director and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and regulations.

Company law requires the director to prepare financial statements for each financial year. Under that law the director has elected to prepare the financial statements in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice (United Kingdom Accounting Standards and applicable law). Under company law the director must not approve the financial statements unless he is satisfied that they give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the company and the group and of the profit or loss of the group for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the director is required to:

-	select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;

-	make judgements and accounting estimates that are reasonable and prudent;

-	state whether applicable accounting standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements;

-	prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the company will continue in business.

The director is responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that are sufficient to show and explain the company's and the group's transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the company and the group and enable him to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. He is also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the company and the group and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

STATEMENT AS TO DISCLOSURE OF INFORMATION TO AUDITORS

So far as the director is aware, there is no relevant audit information (as defined by Section 418 of the Companies Act 2006) of which the group's auditors are unaware, and he has taken all the steps that he ought to have taken as a director in order to make himself aware of any relevant audit information and to establish that the group's auditors are aware of that information.

AUDITORS

The auditors, Salisbury & Company Business Solutions Limited, will be proposed for re-appointment at the forthcoming Annual General Meeting.

ON BEHALF OF THE BOARD:

Mr H G Jones - Director

30 October 2025

Opinion

We have audited the financial statements of Jones Bros Ruthin Co Limited (the 'parent company') and its subsidiaries (the 'group') for the year ended 31 March 2025 which comprise the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income, Consolidated Balance Sheet, Company Balance Sheet, Consolidated Statement of Changes in Equity, Company Statement of Changes in Equity, Consolidated Cash Flow Statement and Notes to the Consolidated Cash Flow Statement, Notes to the Financial Statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards, including Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland' (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).

In our opinion the financial statements:

-	give a true and fair view of the state of the group's and of the parent company affairs as at 31 March 2025 and of the group's profit for the year then ended;

-	have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice; and

-	have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006.

Basis for opinion

We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors' responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the group in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the UK, including the FRC's Ethical Standard, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Conclusions relating to going concern

In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the director's 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 group's and the parent 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.

Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the director with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report.

Other information

The director is responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information in the Group Strategic Report and the Report of the Director, but does not include the financial statements and our Report of the Auditors thereon.

Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report, we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.

In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether this gives rise to a material misstatement in the financial statements themselves. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.

Opinions on other matters prescribed by the Companies Act 2006

In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of the audit:

-	the information given in the Group Strategic Report and the Report of the Director for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements; and

-	the Group Strategic Report and the Report of the Director have been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements.

Matters on which we are required to report by exception

In the light of the knowledge and understanding of the group and the parent company and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the Group Strategic Report or the Report of the Director.

We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters where the Companies Act 2006 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion:

-	adequate accounting records have not been kept by the parent company, or returns adequate for our audit have not been received from branches not visited by us; or

-	the parent company financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns; or

-	certain disclosures of director's remuneration specified by law are not made; or

-	we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit.

Responsibilities of director

As explained more fully in the Statement of Director's Responsibilities set out on page nine, the director is responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as the director determines necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the financial statements, the director is responsible for assessing the group's and the parent company's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the director either intends to liquidate the group or the parent company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.

Auditors' responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue a Report of the Auditors that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.

The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below:

Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design procedures in line with our responsibilities, outlined above, to detect material misstatements in respect of irregularities, including fraud. Owing to the inherent limitations of an audit, there is an unavoidable risk that material misstatement in the financial statements may not be detected, even though the audit is properly planned in accordance with ISA (UK).

We obtained an understanding of the legal and regulatory frameworks applicable to the group and the industry in which it operates through our general commercial and sector experience and discussions with management. We determined that the following laws and regulations were most significant: The Companies Act 2006, FRS 102 the 'Financial Reporting Standards applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland' and relevant UK tax legislation. In addition, we concluded that there are certain laws and regulations that may have an effect on the determination of the amounts and disclosures within the financial statements such as Health and Safety laws and regulations.

We accessed the susceptibility of the group's financial statements to material misstatement, including how fraud might occur. Audit procedures performed by the engagement team included:

- Discussions with management, including consideration of known or suspected instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations or fraud;

- Obtaining an understanding of the internal controls that management have in place to prevent and detect fraud;

- Challenging assumptions and judgements made by management in its significant accounting estimates;

- Reviewing the financial statement disclosures and assessing the appropriateness of the accounting policies used;

- Identifying and testing journal entries, in particular manual or unusual entries;

- Obtaining third party confirmations of all the companies banking arrangements;

- Performing analytical procedures to identify any unusual or unexpected relationships;

- Conclude on the appropriateness of the directors' use of the going concern basis of accounting.

The assessment of the appropriateness of the collective competence and capabilities of the engagement team included consideration of the engagements team's knowledge of the industry in which the client operates in and understanding of, and practical experience with, audit engagements of a similar nature and complexity through appropriate training and participation.

There are inherent limitations in the audit procedures described above. We are less likely to become aware of instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations that are not closely related to events and transactions reflected in the financial statements. Also, the risk of not detecting a material misstatement due to fraud is higher than the risk of not detecting one resulting from error, as fraud may involve deliberate concealment.

Our audit procedures are designed to detect material misstatement. We are not responsible for preventing non-compliance or fraud and cannot be expected to detect non-compliance with all laws and regulations.

A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the Financial Reporting Council's website at www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our Report of the Auditors.

Use of our report

This report is made solely to the company's members, as a body, in accordance with Chapter 3 of Part 16 of the Companies Act 2006. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the company's members those matters we are required to state to them in a Report of the Auditors and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the company and the company's members as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.
