“The Directors present their Strategic Report on the Company for the year ended 31 December 2024. The focus of the Company continued to seek to improve margins and to sustain investment in its brands and new product development during continued challenging economic and market conditions. The Company's core brands continued to perform well with sales of Breville, Bialetti, Foodsaver and Crockpot in line with expectations. It is anticipated that further tough market and economic conditions will prevail throughout 2024/2025 but the Group is well positioned to deal with that scenario.”

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
