Significant events
- “2024 was a significant year in the Group's history, marking the 120th anniversary as well as the completion of a two-year change programme to place the business in the strongest possible position for its next centenary.”
- “Initiated in 2022, Project Rightsize involved a comprehensive strategic review to refocus the business and develop capabilities to form a robust platform for long-term success. The Group invested £1.7M to achieve its strategic goals.”
- “Key outcomes of the change programme including: New Board and leadership structure, aligned to company objectives. Closure of the loss-leading venture into two-man furniture delivery services, including the exit of three operating sites. Consolidation of Group buildings from six sites to one wholly owned facility, and headcount reduction from 519 to circa 290. Investment of circa £1m in new ERP infrastructure development... Appointment of a new transport and logistics partner...”
- “The Group's unwavering commitment to excellence, sustainability, and the finest British craftsmanship was recognised with the granting of a Royal Warrant by His Majesty King Charles III, adding to a proud history of supplying the Royal Households for almost a century.”

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
