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
- “Financial Year 2025 saw revenues remain steady at £33m (2024 £33m) reflecting the movement out of the freight related revenues. Correspondingly purchase costs decreased by nearly 4%, to £26.45m (2024 - £27.45m). Gross margins increased to 21.5% (2024 - 17.8%).”
- “The business continues to invest heavily in Commercial and has a realistic approach to reward based on investment. 2025 saw continued strengthening of the Export Sea business and the new Projects department delivered a significant contribution to the year end results.”
- “BREXIT and the continued uncertainty over Technical Barriers to Trade, particularly in the Sanitary / Phytosanitary products RBF is principally involved in, impact market confidence and can severely impact working requirements.”
- “Additional external factors impacting supply chain integrity and market confidence are global conflicts such as in the Ukraine and Middle East.”
