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

“As such, the directors consider that it is appropriate to prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis.”
Significant events
- “Turnover for the year increased to £84.0m (2023: £80.9m). The profit before tax reduced to £1.3m (2023: £2.6m) as a result of poor trading conditions due to continuing inflation and difficult market conditions.”
- “Our strong balance sheet, financial reserves, no borrowings and our substantial continued investment in a modern fleet coupled with our strong management team puts us in a strong position for continued expansion in a hopefully improving market and we expect to report an increase in margins post year end.”
Auditor, going-concern and subsidiary information is drawn from the narrative of the latest annual accounts. About these numbers
