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 or 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. Having due regard to all available information the Directors are satisfied that the Group has adequate resources to meet its liabilities as they fall due and therefore they should continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements.”

Significant events
- “The business made the strategic decision to reduce sales volumes during this uncertain period and instead, to build inventory of processed material in anticipation of the market recovering. The business focused on controlling its costs during the period. Despite these headwinds, the Group maintained its long-term strategic focus and continued to invest substantially in its core operations, including the opening of a new HDPE recycling plant and continued development of a new multi-polymer facility in Swansea.”
- “The Group installed one 132 kW variable speed compressor to replace the two 90kW fixed speed compressors at the Normanton site. This new, variable speed compressor automatically controls the speed of the unit to match the load, as opposed to its older, fixed-speed equivalent.”
- “The Group is planning to make screw and barrel changes to extrusion lines 3 and 9 at the Worksop site.”
- “The Group is planning the installation of a new LED lighting system in the extrusion department at the Swansea site.”
- “On 5 December 2023 J & A Young Group Limited acquired 100% of the ordinary share capital of Oakham Property Investments Limited with the acquisition including the following subsidiaries: J & A Young (Racing) Limited and Charnwood Campus Management Limited.”
