Significant events
- “Uk Steel production had a poor 2024, Port Talbot closed the Heavy end in September, bringing the close of Steel production on the site. British Steel owners Jingye continued to face major Blast Furnace issues which led to several months of low production. In April of 2025, the British government took control of the site removing all Jingye personnel. Production has now started to increase following government investment and our sales of Refractories have been improving significantly during 2025.”
- “During 2024 the Company has removed outdated inefficient wall heaters and relaces these with energy efficient air conditioning and heating units. Further energy efficient lighting has also been installed.”
- “In June 2023, the High Court handed down a decision in the case of Virgin Media Limited v NTL Pension Trustees II Limited and others relating to the validity of certain historical pension changes due to the lack of actuarial confirmation required by law.”

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
