Significant events

The new advances meant the total owed to Fellowes France at the end of May-25 was €5.5m (£4.6m).”
- “In Jul-25 €1.0m (£0.8m) was repaid, and a further €1.5m (£1.3m) was repaid in Aug-25 reducing the balance owed at the accounts signing date to €3m (£2.6m) (Dec-24: €2.5m (£2.1m)).”

- “On 13 June 2025 Fellowes Ltd purchase the remaining shares in Fellowes Leonardi, representing 10% of their share capital.”

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
