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

Margins divide P&L lines by turnover. Gearing is liabilities over total assets. Current ratio is current assets over creditors falling due within one year. Interest cover is operating profit over absolute finance costs. Sector-distribution context coming next.

Significant events

• “The 2024 financial year was again marked by uncertainties arising from geopolitical tensions such as the ongoing conflict between Ukraine and Russia, and the conflict in Gaza.”
• “It was also an election year in many countries, with changes of administration in the US and the European Commission, set against a backdrop of growing regionalisation with the shift towards policies of strategic autonomy and protection of local industry.”
• “The logistics sector in 2024, as in 2023, experienced much higher growth than in the pre-pandemic era. There are two main reasons for this. Firstly, the growth of e-commerce activity, which, after the explosion during the pandemic, continues to grow significantly year-on-year.”
• “Secondly, the change of focus in the supply chain, driven by the need to avoid disruptions such as those suffered in 2021, resulting from incidents in maritime transport and logistics associated with international trade, together with the Red Sea crisis, which began in 2023, and which led to unusual waiting times, supply disruptions and unavailability of certain goods.”
• “During the comparative period, the Health and Safety Executive commenced an investigation after an accident involving a sub-contractor. At the reporting date, an outflow of economic benefits is not considered probable, and any potential obligation cannot be estimated reliably.”
