Significant events

“Following the disruption caused by the 2023 US SAG-AFTRA strike, the industry experienced a slower-than-expected recovery during the first half of 2024. Despite this backdrop, Group turnover declined only marginally to £37.9m. Activity in 2025 reflects significant growth for the business.”
“Translux continued to organically expand its fleet in 2024, adding new high-end artist trailers, tractor units, technical trucks, dining trailers and mobile restrooms, throughout the year. Capital expenditure totalled £5.11m. Loan financing (Bank, HP and Shareholder) increased from £13.41m to £16.51m.”

Auditor, going-concern and subsidiary information is drawn from the narrative of the latest annual accounts. About these numbers

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
