Significant events
- “The average employee numbers of the group in the year to 31 December 2024 have decreased from 545 to 520.”
- “profit before tax...has decreased. This decrease is mainly due to the group receiving a government grant in the prior year as an incentive for employing 82 employees. No such grant was received in the current year.”
- “During the year, the directors identified that the Employee Appreciation Rights (EARs) scheme, introduced by the group's US parent, had not been accounted for in the group's financial statements. As a result, an adjustment was made to the comparative figures at 31 December 2023 to reflect both the associated costs and liabilities of the scheme.”
