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

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.

Audit opinion

Unqualified (clean)

Going concern

Affirmed

“In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the Directors' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate. Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the Group's or the parent Company's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.”

Significant events

• “The directors acknowledge that the group's performance in 2024 has been exceptional. This was largely driven by an unsustainably low cost base following delayed investment in specific areas of the business.”
• “The 2024 year progressed against a backdrop of persistent economic challenges and softening consumer demand. Geopolitical tensions, chiefly conflicts in Ukraine and the Middle East, continued to disrupt global supply chains causing longer lead times and pushing up freight and insurance costs.”
• “Political tensions, both domestic and across the globe also contributed to the price volatility of energy and FX markets helping to keep energy and raw-material high, fuelling continued inflation.”
• “A tight labour market continued to make recruiting and retaining skilled people more difficult, adding further pressure through higher employment costs.”
• “Cyber risk also became an increasingly acute threat through the year.”
• “Post Brexit trading arrangements continued to add administrative burden to the logistics network.”
