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 23 February 2024, the company issued £0.3m of shares to Macpro Holdings Limited in exchange for the acquisition of the entire share capital of the McLaren Presentation Limited group. This was accounted for using merger relief.”
• “On 7 October 2024 a new 100% owned subsidiary was incorporated within the group, McLaren Corrugate Limited. Subsequently... on 4 February 2025, the Group established a new joint venture arrangement with a third party. Although structured as a joint venture, the Group has operational control over the entity and, in accordance with FRS 102 section 9, has therefore accounted for it as a subsidiary within the consolidated financial statements.”
