Significant events
- “The group has operated for a decade from its current, valuable, owned asset, prestige premises in London W1, capable of seating some 200 occupants. During 2021 and into 2024 the business has refined its staff homeworking ability to the extent that only a fraction of its workforce now attends its offices. The business expects within 2025 to move to a far smaller premises generating a material cash inflow for the group to assist future growth.”
- “Travellers now face even fewer restrictions in 2025 than 2024, all major destinations of the business are now fully opened, and there is a continuing substantial recovery of trade.”

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
