Significant events

• “The result for the year is a reflection of a successful implementation of strategic plan driven by a new senior leadership team, with a reported operating profit of £2,817k in the current year, against last year's operating profit of £1,505k despite remaining in highly competitive markets.”
• “Building products division's sales volume increased by 9% through the year ended 31 May 2025, with the average selling margin in line with prior year.”
• “Engineering products division's sales volume was in line with prior year, with the average selling margin up 12% year on year.”
• “The defined benefit pension scheme is closed to new entrants and future accrual, the surplus valuation stands at £4.0m for the year (2024 - £2.8m).”
• “Net assets increased from £6,404k to £8,617k.”
• “In June 2023, the High Court handed down a decision in the case of Virgin Media v NTL Pension Trustees II Limited and others relating to the validity of certain historical pension changes due to the lack of actuarial confirmation required by law. In July 2024, the Court of Appeal dismissed the appeal brought by Virgin Media Ltd against aspects of the June 2023 decision. The conclusion reached by the court in this case may have implications for other UK defined benefit plans.”

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
