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
Ratios
Computed from the line items above — sparklines read oldest → newest
| Ratio | Trend | 2023-12-31 | 2024-12-31 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Net margin | 13.8% | 8.8% | |
| Gearing (liabilities / total assets) | 36.6% | 41.0% | |
| Current ratio | 2.77x | 2.45x |
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.

- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The Directors have reviewed the forecast performance as well as principal risks and uncertainties of the business and concluded that it remains appropriate to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the annual financial statements. The Company holds a high level of capital over and above minimum requirements and has significant liquidity in the form of parental funding arrangements, which are expected to continue through and beyond the going concern assessment period of 12 months to 18th March 2026.”
Significant events
- “The Corporation, and thus the Company, is currently working on its 4th generation greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions reduction goal, which aligns with a global 1.5 °C target ambition.”
