The 2023 financial year revealed a 52% erosion of net assets (from £26.9m to £12.9m), a 24.6% revenue decline, and the end of a seven-year profitable run, driven by supply chain inflation, subcontractor failures, and admitted management shortcomings. The subsequent Administration filing indicates the company suffered a rapid deterioration beyond what the December 2023 accounts anticipated, likely due to cash flow pressures, bond/credit market withdrawal, or major contract disputes that proved fatal. Recovery is now in the hands of administrators, and the prognosis depends entirely on their assessment of whether any viable business can be salvaged.","website":"http://www.ardmoreconstruction.com","links":{"page":"https://www.companiesintheuk.co.uk/ltd/ardmore-construction","people":"https://www.companiesintheuk.co.uk/company/ardmore-construction/people","filing_history":"https://www.companiesintheuk.co.uk/company/ardmore-construction/filing-history","companies_house":"https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/01185592","financials":"https://www.companiesintheuk.co.uk/company/ardmore-construction/financial","gazette":"https://www.companiesintheuk.co.uk/company/ardmore-construction/gazette","control":"https://www.companiesintheuk.co.uk/company/ardmore-construction/control","charges":"https://www.companiesintheuk.co.uk/company/ardmore-construction/charges","pay_gap":"https://www.companiesintheuk.co.uk/company/ardmore-construction/pay-gap","ai_analysis":"https://www.companiesintheuk.co.uk/company/ardmore-construction/analysis"},"source":"CompaniesInTheUK, from Companies House, The Gazette and other public registers (see /support/about).
