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

- “Liquidity has been reinforced through amendments to existing financing arrangements, providing additional headroom to fund growth initiatives.”
- “Mr J A Uzan was appointed as a director after 3 May 2025 büt prior to the date of this report.”
- “During the year the group made charitable donations amounting to £4,703 to support a variety of causes.”
