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

“At the time of approving the financial statements, the directors have a reasonable expectation that the company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus the directors continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.”
Significant events
- “We were proud to see more HGV apprentices complete their qualifications and welcomed a new cohort of young tail-lift engineers to the business who are benefitting from our in-house training.”
- “We successfully transitioned to a new accounts system that provides better management information and will support higher business volumes when we open a significant new location in conjunction with Daimler Truck in early 2026.”
Auditor, going-concern and subsidiary information is drawn from the narrative of the latest annual accounts. About these numbers
