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
- “From April 2024 the impact of the 9.8% increase in the National Minimum Wage and he additional ERS NI has caused large implications all the way up our staffing structure in order to maintain wage differentials. Several departments have been restructured and reductions made in staffing with a view to reduce costs but still maintain a high level of customer service.”
