Significant events
- “Last year's accounts covered an 18-month period; on a like-for-like basis, the Company's revenue decreased as the business exited large national customers which were low margin and did not fit the strategy of the Company moving forward. This approach delivered an improvement in gross margin to 16.1% (2024: 14.0%).”
- “The Directors consider the Company to be in a stronger and more resilient position and believe it is well placed to continue to grow and trade profitably in the coming years.”
- “The Company anticipates a similar if not stronger trading performance in the next financial year recognising the UK is facing economic uncertainty due to customers valuing our service excellence.”

Each % is (latest − prior) ÷ |prior| for the line item as filed. Periods don't have to be exactly 12 months apart — a long or short period (typical around incorporation or year-end changes) will distort the comparison. Lines a company doesn't report are omitted. About these numbers
