Significant events

- “The gain on disposal of £227,000 relates to the sale of the Company's remaining 8.9% shareholding in Link Misr International SAE... The disposal was completed in March 2025.”
- “On 5 March 2026, the Group entered into an extension of its ABL facility with Wells Fargo Capital Finance Limited. The facility has total capacity of £35m and terms consistent with the previous agreement. The maturity has been extended to 31 May 2028.”

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
