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
- “During the year to 31st March 2024 the company grew significantly in financial terms again, but at a less explosive pace than recent years as we sought to consolidate on that top line growth. Gross profit increased by 18.65% year on year, as recent focus on winning Managed Services accounts began to pay off. The group reassessed it's portfolio of branch network and vertical markets, with all enterprises being reviewed for viability and changes made accordingly. In many ways, this year has been one of consolidation for the company, as the operations began to mature into a more stable platform for future profitable growth.”
