Significant events

• “The progress on service improvement in early 2024 was adversely affected in the latter part of the year by the insolvency of two key suppliers. Fortunately work was well advanced on the approval of alternative sources but the resultant disruption to our sourcing did affect despatches from the autumn until the end of the second quarter of 2025. In addition to these supply challenges the Group also had to deal with a major quality problem caused by a faulty raw material. This fault required the recall of a substantial quantity of finished product which represented a further hit to turnover.”

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
