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

- Affirmed
“At the time of approving the financial statements, the directors have a reasonable expectation that the company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. The directors regard the foreseeable future as no less than twelve months following the publication of its annual financial statements. The directors have considered the Company's working capital forecasts and projections, support from it's ultimate parent undertaking, taking account of reasonable possible changes in trading performance and the current state of it's operating market, and are satisfied that the Company should be able to remain in operational existence. Thus the directors continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.”

Significant events
- “The global economy has remained volatile throughout the year due to the ongoing war in Ukraine, escalating political uncertainty in the Middle East, and continued inflationary pressures. These factors have contributed to rising energy and financing costs, as well as broader market disruption. The imposition of international tariffs, particularly by the United States, has created additional strain on global trade flows. These developments increase uncertainty around the cost and availability of key inputs across the supply chain, with potential knock-on effects for the group's operations.”
Auditor, going-concern and subsidiary information is drawn from the narrative of the latest annual accounts. About these numbers
