Significant events
- “Macro-economic and inflationary pressures impacted negatively on consumer confidence throughout 2024, as it had during 2023.”
- “company and group made a conscious decision not to adopt this strategy, electing instead to protect the brand strength, maintain pricing which reflected the quality and innovation of our products, and restrict discounting to selective products that strategically the group wished to clear ahead of 2025.”
- “During 2024 the company and group has taken, and continues to take, actions to significantly reduce the stock holding in its subsidiary undertaking.”
- “the group continued with its programme of replacing company cars with electric or hybrid vehicles.”

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
