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.

Significant events

• “Shortly after the exciting transition into a 100% employee-owned business through an Employee Ownership Trust sale, the business was affected by a 3rd party laboratory error. This stopped its production facility for 6 weeks and affected its ability to meet what would have been an increasing sales demand.”
• “Input prices continued to rise during the year predominantly in raw materials, insurances and distribution. The business is a commodity driven business which has seen unprecedented increases in cocoa throughout the past 12 months as well as other key ingredients.”
