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
Ratios
Computed from the line items above — sparklines read oldest → newest
| Ratio | Trend | 2023-12-31 | 2024-12-31 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Operating margin | 2.9% | 2.9% | |
| Net margin | 2.2% | 2.1% | |
| Gearing (liabilities / total assets) | 30.1% | 28.9% | |
| Current ratio | 3.33x | 3.46x |
Margins divide P&L lines by turnover. Gearing is liabilities over total assets. Current ratio is current assets over creditors falling due within one year. Interest cover is operating profit over absolute finance costs. Sector-distribution context coming next.
Audit & accounting basis

- KPMG LLP
- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The directors have assessed the Company's financial position and its ability to continue in operational existence for a period of at least, but not limited to, 12 months from the date of approval of these financial statements. On the basis of their assessment of the Company's financial position, taking into account reasonably possible changes in trading performance, and the Company's operating model, the Company's directors have a reasonable expectation that the Company will be able to continue as a going concern. Thus, they continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the annual financial statements.”
Significant events
- “The Company performed an evaluation of events that have occurred subsequent to 31 December 2024 through 25 June 2025, which is the date the financial statements were available to be issued. There have been no subsequent events that have occurred during such period that would require disclosure in the financial statements or would be required to be recognised in the financial statements as of and for the year ended 31 December 2024.”
Auditor, going-concern and subsidiary information is drawn from the narrative of the latest annual accounts. About these numbers
