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
- “In 2024 the rapid changes in inflation provided significant challenges to the market, affecting consumer demand. Proactively, the Company undertook a restructure of its manufacturing of Wetwall products within the UK, with the consolidation of Wetwall manufacture at the group company Bushboard Ltd. The restructure has aided the Group in achieving cost reduction through improved efficiency and economies of scale, as well as maximising expertise in the manufacturing process.”
