Each % is (latest − prior) ÷ |prior| for the line item as filed. The comparison is only shown when the latest and prior accounts cover broadly equal-length periods — short or long stubs (typical around incorporation or a year-end change) are suppressed rather than misrepresented. Lines a company doesn't report are omitted. About these numbers

- 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 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.”

Significant events
- “Overall revenue has decreased by £1.9m in the year to 31 August 2025 to £35.2m and net assets have increased by £3.3m to £18.1m. Gross profit margin has decreased by 0.1% to 37.3%.”
- “The group is still enjoying stable raw material prices with more acceptable increases on an annual basis. However, wages costs have had to increase to cover general cost of living increases being experienced by our employees and to ensure staff and labour retention.”
- “Bradgate Containers Limited has seen decreases in revenues and profitability this year due to the types of contracts obtained but the impacts are mitigated because of all the changes and efficiencies made during recent year. We are pleased to maintain a similar gross profit despite reduced revenues which is market driven.”
- “Industrial & Marine Silencers Limited has seen decreases in revenues and profitability this year due to the types of contracts obtained but their competitive range of emission reducing products are in high demand on a global basis. To this end, we have invested in additional manufacturing space and see a growing potential for these products.”
