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

This was despite the fact that the company's mortgage of £2,692,519 was reported within current liabilities, due to being up for renewal in 2025. As disclosed in note 25, the directors are pleased to report that the mortgage has been successfully renewed since the balance sheet date and the relationship with the bank remains strong.”
