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

“In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the directors' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate. Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the group's and parent company's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.”

Significant events
- “In February 2025, a joint venture agreement was signed with VPK UK and Ireland, part of the privately owned Belgian VPK Group. A new company was established, McLaren Corrugate Limited, managed by McLaren and which accommodated the corrugate packaging facilities of VPK's East Kilbride site and McLaren's corrugate production facility in Port Glasgow. The results of the joint venture in February 2025 have been consolidated in these accounts for McLaren Presentation Limited.”
- “Post year end, as part of a wider group restructure, the company has changed its name from McLaren Packaging Limited to McLaren Presentation Limited. A part of this restructure, on 2nd September 2025 the trade, assets and liabilities of various subsidiaries were hived to other group entities”
