- “2024 saw the business continue to attract new customers and grow its revenues by 60% whilst operating from leased facilities at Teesside International Airport. During the year, the business committed to building a brand new twin-bay maintenance hangar at the airport which will treble its capacity with a view to the facility being operational in late 2025.”

Each % is (latest − prior) ÷ |prior| for the line item as filed. Periods don't have to be exactly 12 months apart — a long or short period (typical around incorporation or year-end changes) will distort the comparison. Lines a company doesn't report are omitted. About these numbers
