Disciplined Cost Control: Operational and overhead efficiencies, including central cost savings and freight optimization, offset some revenue pressures and helped protect profitability.

Strong Balance Sheet: Leverage remains low at 0.9x, net debt is GBP 17.4m, and ROCE improved to 7.8%, giving the company financial flexibility for potential acquisitions.
