Significant events
- “The UK remains very competitive and 2024 saw a slight market contraction in new project order commitments as a reflection of the reduction in construction activities in the UK.”
- “On 20 June 2023, Finance (No.2) Act 2023 was substantively enacted in the UK, introducing a global minimum effective tax rate of 15%.”
- “In June 2023, in the case of Virgin Media vs NTL Pension Trustees II Limited, the High Court judged that amendments made to the Virgin Media scheme were invalid because they were not accompanied by the correct actuarial confirmation. On July 2024, the Court of Appeal upheld the June 2023 High Court decision.”

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
