Significant events
- “2025 started as 2024 ended with high volumes and a very buoyant Q1. Q2 and Q3 were slow with Q4 providing very strong volume. This enabled budget targets to be surpassed which enabled our financial aspirations for the year to be realised.”
- “As a result of a further successful year we were able to purchase more own vehicles and to add an extra 5 vehicles to our fleet while also replacing older vehicles that were nearing the end of their term.”
- “2025 saw a significant volume increase for the business on the back of geopolitical events such as the threat of tariffs and war in the middle east. When combined with the requirement to improve warehousing replenishment stock levels.”

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
