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.

Significant events

• “Our continued strategy in the development of product, innovation in process and in upskilling our internal stakeholders has successfully led to profitable growth.”
• “The trading year 2024/25 presented a number of external challenges. As an international group, we are not immune to the pressures of the global economy. Geopolitical uncertainties, particularly in China, Israel, and Ukraine. have disrupted some of our key markets in Northern Europe and the Middle East, resulting in pressure on revenues in these regions. Closer to home, the UK has been impacted by persistent inflation, rising taxation, and generally fragile business confidence.”
• “Panaz Ltd has delivered a year of strong strategic progress, underpinned by several notable developments. In particular, we have increased our penetration in the cruise sector, where Panaz fabrics are now featured on many new and refurbished vessels, enriching luxury interiors through our specialist collaborations and internationally recognised MED and IMO accredited products.”
• “A significant milestone in the year was the establishment of a strategic collaboration with Sanderson Design Group PLC, under which Panaz became the official distributor of Sanderson designs into the global contract (non-residential) sector.”
• “Our healthcare business also achieved success, with Panaz securing a new contract with the NHS to supply cubicle curtains.”
• “During the year, we invested in a new wide-width digital machine, which will enhance capacity, reduce delivery times, and broaden the creative possibilities we can offer to customers.”
• “Chase Erwin faced a more demanding year, with revenues broadly static. In relative terms, however, this stability was encouraging, particularly against a backdrop of weaker competitor performance. Profitability was impacted by investment in marketing activity and new collection launches.”
• “ESF delivered a satisfying performance, with sales increasing on the back of a strong customer service proposition. To sustain this growth, new staff were recruited and trained across key business functions, including manufacturing and project management.”
• “Our warehousing automation project, due to be completed in the coming year, will further strengthen our infrastructure, improve service reliability, and provide a scalable platform for growth.”
• “We were delighted to achieve ISO 14001 accreditation in the period under review, providing external validation of our environmental management systems. We are also on track to secure Oeko-Tex accreditation in 2025, further strengthening our sustainability credentials and aligning us with the expectations of both customers and regulators.”
• “Looking forward, the Board remains optimistic about the Group's prospects. We are in the final stages of discussions regarding a strategic acquisition, which we expect to complete during 2025.”
• “With significant levels of cash generation, Panaz Group is interested in acquisition opportunities that it believes will add value, enhance the Panaz brand awareness, and deliver a greater customer journey.”
