Significant events

• “During November 2024, the Company's ultimate parent company, Willow Topco Limited, was acquired by Willow Group Holdings Limited (including its subsidiary companies, "the Group").”
• “The Company re-registered as a Private Limited Company under the Companies Act with Companies House on the 19th February 2025. This was as a result of not expecting to require further funding from the bond markets in the short to medium term. The re-registration aims to reduce the administrative burden associated with being registered as a Public Limited Company.”

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
