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
- “On 27 June 2025, all of the issued share capital of Baltic Works Limited was sold to an Employee Ownership Trust ("EOT") established for the benefit of the group's qualifying employees. The transaction involved the sale of 100% of the company's ordinary shares by the previous shareholders to the EOT. The consideration for the shares is being satisfied through a combination of payment at the date of the transaction and deferred consideration, funded by future contributions from the company to the EOT. The company has agreed to make periodic contributions to the EOT to enable it to meet its obligations to the selling shareholders. These contributions will be accounted for as distributions and will be recognised in equity when paid. The EOT holds the shares for the long-term benefit of employees. Employees do not hold shares directly and do not have individual rights to dividends or capital. The trust is not consolidated into the financial statements of the company, as the directors have concluded that the company does not have control over the trust.”
Auditor, going-concern and subsidiary information is drawn from the narrative of the latest annual accounts. About these numbers
