Significant events

“In May 2024 the company's Strategic and Commercial Lead resigned as an appointed Director. The leadership post was successfully re-appointed.”
“During 2024 the company continued to experience the challenges which began in the second half of 2023, resulting in a small operational profit, against the backdrop of an investment period for the company (the 2024-2026 'Growth Strategy').”
“Despite these challenges the group managed to deliver a profitable year end, whilst investing significantly, including acquiring the assets of a medical incubator company”
“Undertook an acquisition in early 2024 to secure a range of medical incubators and developed our own medical range for the UK and European markets which will we see the revenue and profit benefit of in 2025.”

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
