Significant events
- “The Paris 2024 Olympic Games were a great success for Team GB. A total of 327 athletes represented Team GB at the Games. Team GB won 65 medals (14 gold, 22 silver and 29 bronze), equalling the tally from London 2012 and two behind the record total from Rio 2016 (67 medals)”
- “...officially Team GB's most successful winter event on record, with the team securing six medals in total: four gold medals, along with a silver and a bronze, to finish ninth overall in the medal table.”
- “The renewals were supplemented with three new partnership announcements during the year. Social media platform TikTok partnered with Team GB... whilst a further audio partnership was announced with Global”
- “Of the Company's existing partners, Aldi and adidas renewed their agreements through until Brisbane 2032. Since the turn of the year NatWest have also agreed an extension to their partnership with Team GB until 2028.”
- “Team GB House was located at the Pavillon d' Armenonville and was open daily during the Games. Around 6,400 people attended the House, including 324 athletes, 1,200 friends and family of athletes and 1,687 invited stakeholders.”

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
