Significant events

• “The Company's reported revenue declined in the financial period by £19.8m (2023: £45.0m revenue growth). The decline was mainly driven by the Company's decision to exit a number of low returning contracts during FY23, which impacted FY24.”
• “There have been no events occurring subsequent to the balance sheet date that require disclosure in the financial statements.”

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
