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
- “2024 was a year of significant change for the Group as it adapted to Tenzing's acquisition and carve-out from WTW, alongside challenging macroeconomic conditions and a subdued global recruitment market.”
- “On 31 July 2023 the Company was acquired as part of Tenzing Limited's ("Tenzing") acquisition of the business from Willis Towers Watson plc ("WTW"), who had previously acquired the business in 2015.”
- “The year saw substantial progress positioning the Company for accelerated growth. Key hires included Graham Bell as CEO (October 2024) and Thomas Henry as CFO (December 2024), alongside a refreshed strategic vision.”
- “Significant progress was made in 2024, notably Wave Connect - a dynamic talent platform with advanced dashboarding - launched January 2025.”
