Significant events
- “During 2024 the board of directors decided to close the operations of ITL Mexico (a wholly owned subsidiary) with effect from end of June 2024. Where possible, the PPE and inventory were distributed to other regions where it can be used. The employees were consulted in advance. All suppliers and customers were also notified of the closure to allow them to adequately prepare for the closure, including alternative sources being arranged from within the ITL Group. From the company's perspective, the investment in ITL Mexico and the amount receivable from ITL Mexico have been written off in full at year end.”

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
