Significant events
- “Consolidation of the archiving storage facility, reducing the number of boxes from 48,000 to 32,000, with a target of 10,000 boxes by the end of the project. This will significantly lower gas and electricity costs for the storage facility.”
- “Full refurbishment of 105 High Street, Worcester, including double glazing, improved insulation and rendering, LED lighting throughout, and motion sensor systems to reduce energy consumption.”
- “In April 2023 an electric vehicle (EV) programme was launched. The salary sacrifice scheme is offered to all employees to lease an electric vehicle; as of 31st March 2025 we had 48 EVs registered on the scheme. This is an increase of 36 from the prior year (2024:12)”

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
