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
- “A decision was taken in 2023 to focus the group's efforts and resources on its core automotive business and withdraw from other markets - this explains the majority of the reduction in turnover.”
- “our major automotive customer completed an evaluation of its future production requirements, resulting in them confirming that their UK weaving plant would close in 2025”
- “net exceptional income of £466,000 was achieved. Surplus assets were disposed of, generating a profit of £185,000. The final monies were also received from the sale of the weaving and coating business with royalty income of £49,000 being recognised. Finally, following the buy-out of the fixed cash benefits scheme and the serving of the necessary notices, the surplus in the scheme was returned to the group which generated income of £276,000.”
- “The Directors also revalued its property asset during the year to £4.1 million resulting in other comprehensive income of £2.6 million.”
