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

• “For the year ending 31 December 2024, the company's revenue decreased by 5.2% to £41.2 million, down from £43.4 million in 2023.”
• “There were three primary drivers for the year on year decline: business disruption as we made a number of senior leadership changes (including the managing director), competitor pricing activity in the national kitchen retail channel and the ongoing effects of consumer confidence around big ticket kitchen purchasing.”
• “Administrative expenses for the year were slightly reduced compared to 2023, however there were some additional costs in the year as the Business undertook a series of non-recurring right sizing activity in which significant savings will be taken into future financial years.”
• “The company reported a pre-tax loss of £2.4m, which was a significant worsening from the 2023 FY position of a £253k loss however nearly 50% of this loss was attributable to the non-recurring costs mentioned above to restructure the Business.”
• “2024 included material, non recurring costs eg, rightsizing, major trade show participation and one-off supplier costs etc that will not exist in FY2025.”
• “A number of changes have been made to the management team, with more general management, transformation, quality and customer focused leadership.”
