Significant events

• “While there was a £14m reduction of revenue in the 12 months to 31 December 2024 of £26.6m (2023: £40.6m), it is essential to note that this was primarily due to the Company's decision to leave the lower margin distribution market. The decision has resulted in a 7.8% positive uplift in the Company's gross profit margin in 2024 to 42.2% (2023: 34.4%).”
• “In January 2024, the Company moved into its new energy-efficient warehouse facility with net zero carbon construction and benefits from solar power energy generation.”
• “Trade creditors of the Company at 31 December 2024 represent 185 creditor days (2023-86 days), an increase due to geopolitical tensions in the Middle East, resulting in longer transit times for goods to reach the UK. This led the company to agree on extended payment terms with its relevant suppliers.”

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
