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 year to June 2025 saw the opening of 2 new sites. In July 2024, the group opened Mare Street Market Kings Cross - the flagship expansion of the Mare Street Market concept. ... Following a programme of refurbishment and relaunch, the site re-opened in November 2024.”
- “The ongoing discussions with a strategic investor concluded positively early in the year and resulted in new debt financing to sit alongside existing bank facilities and which helped the group maintain liquidity whilst opening the new sites.”
