- “In 2023 the Group received a subpoena in relation to an external investigation into one of its customers and its wider supply chain. The matter is ongoing and the Group’s internal and external legal advisors are cooperating with the relevant authority.

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
