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 company has achieved significant milestones including a return to sustained profitability, a substantial reduction in stock, attainment of B Corp certification and a flawless BRC audit.”
• “Inflationary pressures have led to higher staff costs across all areas of the business.”
• “The commitment to upgrading the ERP systems reflects Cambridge Commodities' dedication to improving operational efficiencies.”
• “The company is exposed to the risk of disruption to major shipping routes caused by such as incidents as the grounding of the Ever Given in the Suez Canal in 2021 and the attacks on vessels in the Red Sea in early 2024.”
