Significant events

• “In the year there was a significant restructuring within FLB Group particularly within its plant in Dalkeith. The business discontinued a number of loss making manufacturing operations and reduced the size of its facility in order to improve profitability. This resulted in a number of redundancies but is expected to return the company to profit in 2026.”
• “Many new product initiatives have been introduced during the year which should increase sales for the future.”

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
