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
- “During the 2024 financial year the group took the opportunity to expand its Engineering, Design & Fabrication (EDF) department, through the introduction of an accredited Apprenticeship Scheme. The group also continued to grow its Fluid Management Services (FMS) division, developing and enhancing the services offered, whilst continuing to explore additional, domestic and global markets that would benefit from the use of its specialist heat transfer fluids. Research & Development (R&D) continued to be a core activity of the group during the financial year. Many of these activities included a number of collaborative projects with external partners to develop bespoke technology solutions for a wide range of industries and markets. As a result of these expanding activities the group formed a new dedicated Research, Development and Stewardship Department. The group invested heavily in infrastructure and staff during 2024. The redevelopment of its Heol Y Gors site continues to be a significant investment of finances, resources and time, with several divisions including FMS and EDF operated from the site during the year. Supported by a Shared Prosperity Fund Grant awarded during 2024, the group began the construction of a Research & Development Centre of Excellence at the site, in the hope of completing all works by the end of 2025.”
