Significant events

• “a factory fire at the group's main Attleborough site in August 2024 has resulted in lower turnover than expected. However, the group has managed to retain profits and is continuing to invest in its Griston site, which will strengthen its long-term position and allow a significant part of its operations to continue while we await the rebuilding of the fire damaged unit.”
• “Despite some fire related delays, the group is continuing to develop updates of its product lines, which has improved our market position and added resilience to operational profits. Planning delays at the Griston site have limited its redevelopment, and the group is continuing to work through the remaining planning issues.”
• “The exceptional costs arose from a fire at the Group's main Attleborough site, which resulted in the total loss of the factory. Insurance proceeds were received in respect of the loss.”

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
