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.

Going concern

Affirmed

“Based on the on-going projected trading performance, covering a period of at least 12 months from the date of approval of these financial statements, and the balances available for immediate drawdown under the Storskogen Group Treasury arrangements as detailed in the cash at bank policy (Note 2.13), the directors consider the company has adequate resources to continue its operations for foreseeable future. Thus, the directors continue to adopt the concern basis of accounting in preparing these financial statements.”

Significant events

• “Sales were in line with expectations with positive growth of 5%. Raw material costs continued to ease driving improved gross profit (+£2.2m) and operating profit (+£1.9m).”
• “The company continued to develop and strengthen its raw material supply chain, invest in its people delivering new training and strengthening key positions and continued to invest in its IT infrastructure to further improve efficiency and resilience.”
• “In 2024, our gas and electricity agreements were moved to green tariffs and key investments were made in electric vehicles and forklift trucks.”
