Significant events
- “The year ending 31 March 2025 represented a deliberate period of strategic consolidation, one that positions the group strongly for its next phase of growth.”
- “Innovation continues to be at the heart of everything we do. Our expanding portfolio of IP-protected products, supported by multiple granted and pending patents, is evidence of our commitment to delivering meaningful differentiation and measurable value to our customers and partners.”
- “Our patented WELL Kennels have set a new benchmark for clinical housing, and the upcoming launch of our next-generation veterinary technology in the new fiscal year will further strengthen CASCO Pet's position as a true innovator in animal wellness.”
- “During the year, management undertook a detailed review of deposit balances held on account and identified historic credit balances within the trade receivables ledger. Management determined that a credit balance of £824,477 representing unrecognised payments on account should have been recognised as turnover in prior periods and therefore should be released to the statement of comprehensive income.”
- “On 30 September 2025, DesignerAquariums.co.uk Limited was dissolved.”

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
