They are involved in master recordings and producing music, which includes a production music library (Standard Music Library) and record labels including: Cube Records and its offshoots, Cube Soundtracks, Fly Records, and Qnote Records.

Established in 2004, BDi has established itself as a Grammy award winning independent music publishing business representing songwriters, composers and TV production companies with deals tailor-made for individual creative talent. They develop and nurture songwriters across a range of disciplines and genres, negotiating tirelessly on their behalf as well as searching for the best commercial opportunities for their catalogues. BDi's catalogue includes 35 co-written songs with Ed Sheeran and many more hit songs across the global charts.

Cube Soundtracks was established in 2002 by Bucks Music Group Ltd.

The record label primarily releases distinguished music albums associated with independent British films, or created by outstanding British Composer / Artists. Especially, though not necessarily, music by composers published by Bucks Music Group Ltd, and also their affiliate BDI Music's composers.[citation needed]

Fly Records was a British independent record label, established in 1970 by the independent music publisher David Platz, and initially managed by Malcolm Jones from the offices of Essex Music in London.

Platz had been producing records independently, in conjunction with record producers funded by Essex, and leasing them to major record labels. These creative collaborations quickly made their mark with hits such as "A Whiter Shade Of Pale" (Procol Harum), "Flowers In The Rain", "I Can Hear The Grass Grow" and "Blackberry Way" (The Move), together with work from Beverley Kutner, Tucker Zimmerman and Michael Chapman.

The producer roster involved with Platz included Denny Cordell, Gus Dudgeon, Rodger Bain, Don Paul, Johnny Worth and Tony Visconti, whom Platz had brought over to the UK at Cordell's initiation. After a string of hits in the late 1960s licensed via labels Deram and, later, Regal Zonophone, Platz launched his own label Fly Records in 1970. Malcolm Jones had left university to work for EMI, becoming a label manager and creating his own imprint at EMI, Harvest Records, but moved to work for Platz as manager of Fly.
