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
- “During the period no dividends were declared.”
- “In March 2024, the business renewed its interest rate cap to manage its exposure to interest rates.”
- “Since the end of the reporting period, the Group has agreed an amendment to its existing bank facilities with NatWest resulting in an extension of the maturity to 2028. Scheduled loan repayments remain unchanged through FY26, with modest additional repayments in FY27 and FY28.”
- “The business also entered into a further interest rate cap during June 2025, to extend the existing cap by 12 months to March 2027, to further protect against interest rate risk.”
