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 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
- “On 31st July 2025, the company acquired 100% of the share capital of Bar Graphic Machinery Limited Limited, a manufacturer of high-performance finishing equipment for the labels and packaging industry. The acquisition took place after the reporting date and therefore has not been reflected in the financial statements as at 31 May 2025. At the date of approval of these financial statements, the fair value of the net assets acquired and any resulting goodwill has not yet been determined.”
