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

• “Growth within our traded metal submitted sample testing business was generally as expected, driven by the continued global growth in demand for base and precious metals used to service global market sectors including electronics, building infrastructure and technology.”
• “The outlook for both markets remains positive driven by growing demand for Metals and Oil & Petrochemical products both in the UK and Globally. Budgeted investment in staffing and infrastructure supports our ability to react to market growth.”
• “The company considers the principal risk and uncertainty affecting the business is a plateauing of submitted samples received for testing, driven by the slowing down of the Chinese economy and industrial action in Peru and Chile.”
• “Commencing 1st May 2025, Bureau Veritas undertook a strategic reorganisation of its Oil and Petrochemical Testing, Inspection and Certification business, resulting in the formation of a new Fuels division. To facilitate clear financial reporting for the new Fuels division, all UK Oil and Petrochemical business was moved from this entity to a new standalone UK business. In addition, a division of the Metals and Minerals Product Line in the UK was transferred from another group entity to this entity.”
