Significant events
- “On 15 January 2025, the company authorised and issued 247,520 shares to an existing shareholder, thereby increasing their shareholding. The newly issued shares are of the same class as those already held by the shareholder before the transaction, with no variance in rights compared to the existing shares.”
- “On 3 March 2025, the Group drew down £10 million under a loan facility entered into with an existing shareholder. The principal is contractually due for repayment on 31 December 2027, although the terms of the facility allow for earlier repayment within a defined window prior to that date.”

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
