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
- “A fair value gain of £458k (2023 loss of £284k) was recognised in the year in relation to foreign currency forward contracts.”
- “A reduction in goodwill of £3.8m occurred during the year due to the annual amortisation charges and an impairment charge resulting in a carrying value of £1.4m at 31 December 2024.”
- “The Group is expected to conclude a share for equity deal with LDC before the end of 2025, effectively writing off the LDC loan notes and accrued interest, ensuring the Group becomes less debt driven for 2026 and beyond.”
