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

- “There are also indications that the logistics market is showing signs of increased activity which should lead to turnover growth for the company in 2026 and beyond.”
- “At the balance sheet date, the company had guaranteed borrowings of fellow group undertakings. At 30 June 2025, these borrowings amounted to £nil (2024: £2,292,000).”
