Significant events

Recent changes to the Employer NI rules that affect much of our customer base disproportionately and the changes to BPR causing private business owners to exit, coupled with consumer spending pressures, contribute to a shrinking hospitality sector.”

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
