- “Effective 1st December 2024, dormakaba UK Limited divested its maintenance (service) activities to two unrelated chosen partners, one in the North and one in the South of the UK via an asset transfer at some discount to the carrying values and transfer of undertakings (protection of employment) (TUPE) of associated employees.”
- “dormakaba UK Limited also started on 18 November 2024 the process of moving finance related activity to a shared service centre based in Sofia, Bulgaria. This transition went live on 1st February 2025.”
- “It has been decided on a Group wide basis that PWC will be replaced as auditor for year ended 30 June 2026.”
- “Multi Glazing Systems Limited was integrated into dormakaba UK Limited on 1 July 2025 thus removing the investment value and creating goodwill.”
- “Paul Wright, a director of the company, will resign from office in December 2025.”
- “In November 2025, it was assessed whether transfer of company's tax losses to a sister company (Kaba Limited) in the years 2022, 2023 and 2024, with no charge for them, may have constituted an unlawful distribution for the company. The board resolution was passed and also confirmed with the Board of the sister company that dormakaba UK Limited will now charge for this in the financial year ending 30 June 2026.”

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
