Significant events
- “The war in Ukraine continues to have a minimal effect and it is not anticipated that it will have a major adverse effect on the company's business either currently or in the foreseeable future.”
- “It is not expected that the tariffs being imposed by the USA will affect the business to any significant extent because most of it is domestic UK movements.”

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
