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.

Affirmed

“To assess the liquidity and solvency of the Group the directors regularly review the cash flows both in the short and medium term, have a thorough approach to managing the working capital and hold regular reviews with each operating unit which includes an assessment of any bad debt risk or inventory impairment concerns. This is supported by regular monitoring of key performance indicators. In December 2022 P3P Partners LLP, the Group's main energy supplier, which has energy centres on the Group's growing sites and supply heat and Co2 to the Group's greenhouses, acquired the majority of the share capital of the group. Since the acquisition they have invested substantial funds into the group, in order to support the group's cash flow needs and have committed to continue to support the group over the following 12 months and beyond.”
