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
- “The Board is encouraged by FY24 trading results, despite inflationary pressures exerted by third parties, alongside political and economic uncertainty. A primary objective remains to monitor what our customers and stakeholders expect, meet those demands and identify ways in which we might improve the Croeso engagement. To this end, the Board are delighted to be on- boarding a well-established community pub in FY25, a particularly busy outlet known in a popular Cardiff suburb.”
