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

Margins divide P&L lines by turnover. Gearing is liabilities over total assets. Current ratio is current assets over creditors falling due within one year. Interest cover is operating profit over absolute finance costs. Sector-distribution context coming next.

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.”

Significant events

• “During the financial year, Shiel Buses Ltd undertook a significant capital restructuring to separate its core trading operations from its property portfolio. This was achieved through a multi-stage process designed to create a more efficient corporate structure and facilitate the independent growth of the respective business streams.”
• “At 31 March 2025 the company had capital commitments of £805,543 for buses contracted for but not provided in these financial statements (2024 - nil).”
