Significant events

• “In the coming year, the Worthing residential project is expected to be completed. Additionally, the existing building will be enhanced by renewing the roof and redecorating the front facade. There are also plans to further develop the property to elevate the customer experience.”
• “Essential repairs and maintenance will be carried out at the Horley store; the lift will be replaced and the entire exterior of the store will be redecorated.”
• “After several years of discussions with Crawley Council, the Company now hopes to be granted planning permission for an extension to the unit. This will allow the storage business to expand and further improve furniture operation.”
• “Next year, significant increases in costs are anticipated across the board, including the recent changes in national insurance and living wage rates. These rising cost pressures will present challenges. Consequently, the Company will be focusing on reducing overheads and reviewing the stores and product ranges to adapt accordingly.”
• “The successful purchase and refurbishment of the new freehold East Grinstead furniture store.”
• “The Horley Store central stairwell project; this is now complete, which has improved customer flow through the store.”
• “Worthing development; the Company is partway through construction of residential units at the Worthing store and extension of the second floor bed department.”

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
