Significant events
- “The UK construction market remained challenging in 2024 with increased inflation rates and a decreased appetite for construction investment which saw a deferral of projects.”
- “The outbreak of war in Ukraine and the introduction of Russian Steel Sanctions further complicated matters in the steel supply chain, and we continue to monitor this ever-changing situation.”

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
