Significant events

• “Operating profit decreased by 27.1% in 2024, primarily due to a significant rise in administrative expenses, which increased from £9,520,660 in 2023 to £10,329,651 in 2024. This upward trend, in costs was mainly driven by a company-wide salary increase implemented to align with inflationary pressures, reflecting our continued commitment to supporting and retaining our talent in a challenging economic environment.”
• “In 2024, we successfully launched the MSP Show in London, marking a significant milestone in our organic growth strategy.”
• “The decision has been made to discontinue the Eco Living Scandinavia and Organic Food Iberia shows, with the final editions of both having taken place in 2024.”

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
