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
- “The company continues to invest in the enhancement of the port facility at Purfleet. It completed construction of a new port access, including a new roundabout on the public road, in August 2024. This enhances access for port traffic and manages impacts from heavy good vehicles serving the port on local residents, as well as enabling the further enhancement of the port facilities. Construction of a new trailer and container compound on the former Esso lubes site, which the company acquired in 2023 completed in Q1 2025. Border Control Post facilities that the company constructed came into operation in April 2024.”
