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

Significant events
- “2024 proved to be a significantly good year for the business as several large contracts came to fruition allowing us to realise efficiencies and economies of scale. The business continues into 2025 with a strong order book, ongoing contracts with our longstanding maintenance clients, as well as new business tenders.”
- “The company continues to secure contracts for the installation of heat pumps in 2025; The order book looks strong for 2025, and our in-depth knowledge of these systems should give us a competitive advantage when looking at securing more work in this relatively new development.”
- “We've also secured new long term maintenance contracts for 2025 with existing and new customers.”
- “During 2024 we've continued to invest in more electric vehicles, the business' commitment to offsite design for manufacturing and assembly (DFMA) should result in less transporting costs and reduce our carbon footprint further. We continue to make use of the solar panels on our site which provide 80 Kilowatts of renewable energy; 24% of our total consumption came through the solar panels.”
