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

Thus the directors continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.”

Significant events
- “The group continues to operate within an environment of significant external challenges. Increases in excise duty rates, along with the introduction of Extended Producer Responsibility has led to an increase in Input costs and subsequent difficulty in both maintaining margins and remaining competitively priced within the category.”
- “After initially being delayed, Extended Producer Responsibility has now been legislated in the UK. Companies have to pay fees based on the volume of packaging used for their brands and/or that they are responsible for importing into the UK. The first payment was due in October 2025, and is based on data from 2024 calendar year.”
Auditor, going-concern and subsidiary information is drawn from the narrative of the latest annual accounts. About these numbers
