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
- “2024 was a difficult year due to high inflation. The business focused on turnover growth, maintaining profitability, increasing market share, and securing new opportunities. A new Strategic Leadership Team was created. The group is investing in infrastructure and targeting more varied sectors, specifically industrial & distribution sectors.”
- “Following the UK leaving the European Union on 31 January 2020, the group recognise the increasing difficulty to recruit directly employed staff and therefore are becoming more reliant on subcontract labour.”
- “The group is committed to paying the living wages, however this along with price increases of materials and consumables is having an adverse effect of the margins achievable.”
