WhatTo replace 1 existing vehicle currently used by City Highways with a vehicle more specific to the Service needs. To replace the existing vehicle that have reached or exceeded the replacement age and suffer from reliability problems, the number of defects and down have a significant impact on the ability of the Service to meet and maintain schedules. The specification has a number of additional safety features that were not available when the original vehicle was purchased, examples being: • safety pressure plates for the operator to stand on to ensure the crane cannot extend in to crush zones. • Rear steer configuration to improve manoeuvrability and access. • Road friendly rear air suspension.

- Absent is not zero. A figure shown as Not reported was not given in the accounts we hold. Small and micro companies do not have to file a profit and loss account, so turnover and profit are usually absent for them.
- Accounts for years ending in 2025 and 2026 are still being filed, so the newest years may be missing.
- Employees, cash and net assets are shown as Not shown when the filed figure is not possible (for example a negative headcount or negative cash).
Definitions
- Total assets less current liabilities
- Fixed assets plus current assets, minus what the company owes within a year. It is not total assets: cash can be larger than this figure when the company owes a lot in the short term. Where a filing does not give it, the table marks the fixed-assets figure used instead.
- Net assets
- What the company owns minus everything it owes. Also called shareholders' funds.
- Turnover
- Sales for the year. Only larger companies report it.
- Accounts
- The accounting framework named in the filing (for example FRS 102). Not stated means the filing does not say.

Loading the group structure…
Built from the corporate people with significant control records matched to UK companies (Companies House, Open Government Licence v3.0; ownership graph of 19 September 2026). Control is shown as the nature of control the controller declared; the group count includes only active majority holdings (more than 50%), so holdings of 25-50% are drawn but not counted. Overseas parents that are not on the UK register appear only when a company names them.
