Significant events
- “Late 2024 saw the launch of two new finishes: Anthracite and Old Brass Matt.”
- “Throughout 2025 we will be previewing a new Art Deco brassware collection, designed in collaboration with the renowned London interior designer, Laura Hammett. Spring 2026 will see the official launch, with several key events taking place in London, Milan and North America to showcase this highly anticipated new range.”
- “The start of the new financial year in April 2025 saw the imposition of tariffs by the US administration which created volatility in a key export market, as well as weakening the dollar in relation to sterling. The Company has however been successful in passing on in full the current 10% tariff level.”

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
