The result was driven by weaker core trading performance and higher operating costs, but the firm remained in the black as non-operating income offset losses from its main business lines. Turnover fell to £19.56 million from £27.04 million in 2024, a decrease of £7.48 million, or 27.7%, reflecting softer core trading activity. The company’s core operations generated a loss of £12.2 million, while a significant increase in other non-operating income, despite a 48% drop in interest income, helped lift overall pre-tax profit into positive territory.This article was written by Jared Kirui at www.financemagnates.com.
