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
- “In relation to trading, the most significant event impacting both costs and turnover was the continued attacks on shipping within the Red Sea. Consequently, sea freight rates escalated putting pressure on margins and in addition delays to shipping impacted service levels and in turn turnover across the Group.”
- “By the first quarter of 2025 the issues with sea freight began to diminish providing a more positive outlook for the forthcoming trading year.”
Auditor, going-concern and subsidiary information is drawn from the narrative of the latest annual accounts. About these numbers
