Significant events

• “The Business continued to capitalise on its diverse product portfolio, showing agility and flexibility, to capitalise on its market opportunities.”
• “In year, recovery from a challenging 2023 in the Protectives Sector was extremely encouraging, as the Company exceeded its budget expectations in this division.”
• “The Leisure division was more challenging, as the business experienced increasingly aggressive competition from the Far East on its billiard cloth range; nevertheless, the business continued to invest in new product development and launched a new pool cloth at the end of Q4 FY24, which is aimed at this territory.”
• “In addition, the business also proceeded to invest in three new and highly experienced International Sales Managers, in line with its commercial growth strategy. In place from early 2025, the business will ensure a synergetic approach is delivered, with a high level of focus on export growth.”
• “After King Charles III ascended the throne in September 2022, the business was made aware that it would have to re-new its existing Royal Warrant. The business proceeded through a detailed and demanding application process in 2023 and was finally awarded a new Kings Royal Warrant on the 19th December 2024. This was a significant achievement for the business and one which under-pins its long-term strategic ambitions.”
• “Finally, the business continued its commitment to infrastructure investment and completed two highly complex projects - the implementation of a new sprinkler system and the installation of a new weaving shed roof, complete with airflow control. Both projects were delivered on time to plan and within a set budget of almost £800k. In parallel, in January 2024 the business received a new high specification Dornier Loom, to complement its woollen manufacturing division, whilst retiring off two old Looms which were both unproductive and unsupported.”
• “Moving towards year end, the business had good sight of its Q1 revenue expectations and a strengthening prospect database. As a result of the investment in the new International Sales Managers during Q4 FY24, it is expected that new customers will be onboarded during 2025.”
• “In parallel, the Executive Board created a 5-Year Strategy document (WIN2030), which sets out its Commercial, Operational, Technical and Financial growth assumptions between 2025-2030. This document and its key assumptions were signed off by Shareholders in December 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
