Significant events
- “Political uncertainty in the UK has diminished following the General Election in July 2024. The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic has largely been absorbed, and the UK's investment strategy for nuclear new build and decommissioning is clear with the development of Small Modular Reactors (SMRs) already creating opportunities. In Defence, the UK Government has committed to increasing the defence budget to 2.5% of GDP, with the intent to grow further to 3% in future parliaments. In addition, opportunities are emerging through the Australian AUKUS programme.”

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
