† GRAHAM BELL (HOLDINGS) LIMITED filed these accounts on paper, so Companies House publishes them only as a scanned image. The figures for the years marked † were read automatically from the scan and kept only where the statements add up (for example net assets equal total equity), but a reading error is still possible — check the original accounts at Companies House.

Like most small UK companies, GRAHAM BELL (HOLDINGS) LIMITED does not publish a profit and loss account in its latest accounts. The figures below come from the balance sheet.

Positions are approximate. Figures come from each company's latest accounts; money and employee figures are compared only with companies that filed accounts in pounds for a period ending in the last two and a half years and are not dormant, so those groups are smaller than 117,903. The line on each bar marks the median.
