Significant events
- “After the balance sheet date, the company's shareholder has initiated a process with a view to sell the Company and has held discussions with interested parties.”
- “The deterioration is mainly driven by external pricing and cost pressures within the marketplace.”
- “The Company is exposed to a general price risk due to the supply and demand forces present in the market, including foreign currency exposure. This is primarily linked to supply chain sourcing, manufacturing and selling costs arising due to the impact of Brexit, the pandemic, the Russia/Ukraine war and the ongoing cost of living crisis.”

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
