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
- “Review of business 2024 has been a good year showing an improvement in trading. Turnover has decreased in 2024 mainly due to timing of contracts. Gross profit percentage improved as material costs stabilised. We expect to increase GP% in the coming year. We invested in our team, facilities, equipment, technology, and colleagues. The company did not borrow during the year and undertook R&D activities concerning Data centres.”
