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

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 opinion

Going concern

Affirmed

“As a result of the trading performance, some of the group's banking covenants have not been achieved and therefore the long-term bank loan has been disclosed as falling due within one year. The group's bankers continue to support the group and have agreed new covenants in 2025 through to December 2026 which the group is forecasting to be achieved. The Directors have assessed the going concern status of the Group. That assessment includes changes in interest rates, inflationary pressures and consumer confidence. It also considers both the National and Global economic climate. Consequently, the Directors have concluded that the business remains a going concern for the foreseeable future. Thus the directors continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.”
