About these figures
Turnover
Money taken from sales in the year, before any costs.
Profit before tax
What was left after the year’s costs, before corporation tax. A minus figure is a loss.
Net assets, or total equity
Everything the company owns minus everything it owes. A minus figure means it owes more than it owns.
Total assets and total liabilities
Everything the company owns, and everything it owes, on the last day of the year. The gap between them is its net assets.
Cash at bank
Money in the company’s accounts on the last day of the year.
Owed within a year, owed after a year
Debts and bills due in the next twelve months, and those due later.

Figures from the year to 29 June 2025 are for the group: the company and the businesses it owns. Earlier years are the company’s own accounts, from before it had a group.

The figures for the year to 29 June 2025 were read from the printed accounts, because the filing does not tag them in a form that can be read automatically. They were checked against the accounts’ own totals.

Accounts filed at Companies House for company 07575324. Every figure is as filed, apart from total assets and total liabilities, which are added up from filed figures. Nothing is estimated.
