Significant events

• “2024 was planned to be an expansion year for The Commotion group, unfortunately, the group saw sales decline by 7.1% on 2023's turnover, however, the performance on our e-commerce platforms was strong against overall decline.”
• “Predominantly, this was due to the slow down in the group's UK and European sales, as a result of a decrease in government funding to the education sector and the increasing Cost of Living crisis, caused by fuel and inflation rising amid the effects of the Ukraine/Russia conflict and general uncertainty in Middle East, causing shipping interruptions, leading to supply chain issues.”
• “The group is investing in IT systems, moving from site-based data storage to cloud based and changing its ERP software from the existing supplier (who's platform we have been on since 2012) to Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central.”
• “The group is engaging with Nurseries and Nursery Chain owners to develop new products and ranges to help us achieve more exposure to this market in the UK.”

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
