Marks Electrical has reported a pre-tax loss of £574,000 for the six months to 30 September 2025, narrowing from £1 million a year earlier. Revenue for the period fell from £58.8m to £53m as the retailer navigated intense competition and rising operating costs.
The company attributed higher cost pressures to increases in the National Minimum Wage, National Insurance contributions, and the ongoing rollout of its D365 system. Management outlined steps already taken to offset these additional costs.
The business recorded a return to revenue growth and improved profitability in October, aligning with internal forecasts. Leadership said these early signs support confidence in the full-year performance and the longer-term operational plan.
Marks Electrical stated it has invested in strengthening its internal infrastructure to support future growth, highlighting ongoing efforts to reinforce service standards and operational resilience.
