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 2024 the gross margin has increased from 45.7% to 49% and the operating profit has also increased by £514,716 (41.7%) from £1,235,515 to £1,750,231. This was primarily as a result of increased customers demand to repair cars instead of replacing for newer models.”
