This will mean the closure of the Northcroft House site with the personnel moving to the other two sites at Charlton House or Runnings Road. We anticipate all personnel will be relocated by the end of the 2025 financial year.”

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
