Munnelly Support Services Limited

Strategic Report for the Year Ended 31 March 2023

The directors present their strategic report for the year ended 31 March 2023.

Principal activity

The principal activity of the company is to undertake work packages with the construction and infrastructure to logistics, waste management, temporary accommodation and associated services and to operate specialist construction plant in the United Kingdom.

Fair review of the business

Financially, the company demonstrated strong performance amid challenging market conditions. Revenue for the year was £33.5m (2022: £33.6m) with profit after tax of £1.4m (2022: £1.2m). The challenges facing the nation revolve around the prevailing economic outlook and client willingness to engage in construction activities. This is anticipated to improve as the election approaches with Munnelly Support Services Limited being strategically and financially positioned to adapt to various scenarios.

The company remains committed to identifying opportunities to further optimise its operations in line with its goal of becoming the leading provider of construction logistics packages and related services within the United Kingdom. Ongoing investment in technology, people and pre-construction solutions continue to bolster support for key clients in terms of cost and project delivery, resulting in an expanded customer base and a diversified service offering that can adapt to changing market conditions.

The financial statements set out the performance and position of the company for the year ended 31 March 2023 and are shown on pages 11 to 19.

Furthermore, the company's activities align with the objectives of Munnelly Group Limited, aimed at generating long-term shareholder value through service provision within various infrastructure sectors. Consequently, the annual report of Munnelly Group Limited, the ultimate parent company, contains comprehensive information about the business environment and strategy of the company.

Munnelly Support Services Limited

Strategic Report for the Year Ended 31 March 2023

Principal risks and uncertainties

The Board has ultimate responsibility for risk management. This responsibility encapsulates an understanding of the key risks, recognition and oversight of the measures in place to manage risk and the acceptance of individual risks. Any areas where the Board is uncomfortable with the risk exposure are investigated further, to ensure that either additional controls are implemented to reduce the risk to an acceptable level, or if not possible, that the activities giving rise to the risk are curtailed.

The principal risks faced by the company are as follows:
Safety: implementing effective health and safety management systems and working practices;
Regulatory compliance: complying fully with applicable laws and regulations;
Customer reliance: dependence on the volatility of client expenditure in the engineering, construction and infrastructure sectors;
Supply chain: managing a logistically complex and diverse national supply chain;
Project and work package execution: completing contracts to the programme requirements;
Engaged commercial terms: forecasting accurately the financial out-turn of contracts; and
People management: attracting and retaining skilled personnel.

Further information on the impact of these risks and how they are managed can be found in the Munnelly Group Limited annual report.

Safety
The company is committed to achieving the highest standard of health and safety and regularly review the policies and practices in place to ensure that appropriate standards are maintained.

Regulatory compliance
The company is committed to full regulatory compliance. In the year ended 31 March 2023, the company maintained regulatory compliance in all key areas.

Supply chain
The company practices ethical and sustainable procurement in recognition that significant sustainability effects, both positive and negative, can arise from its supply chain activities. Procurement is undertaken within structured guidelines on the sustainability issues that should be considered during supplier selection and ongoing supplier management and engagement. In the year ended 31 March 2023, the company used 198 different suppliers (2022: 172 different suppliers), awarding work to the greatest operational extent possible to participants operating in the locality of its work.

The company's policy concerning the payment of trade creditors and other suppliers is to set terms of payment with major suppliers when agreeing the terms of each transaction, ensuring that suppliers are made aware of the terms of payment by including the relevant terms in their contract and paying all suppliers in accordance with the company's contractual and legal obligations. The standard payment terms of the company are 45 days from the date of invoice, reflecting a strong ethical and transparent commitment to its supply chain.

At the balance sheet date the company had 8 days (2022: 18 days) of trade purchases outstanding.

Engaged commercial terms
The company engages in contracts with customers to agree terms and conditions and allow the accrued forecasting of the expected financial out-turn.

People management
The company is committed to recruiting and retaining the very best individuals in the labour market and providing a workplace which offers equal opportunity for promotion and advancement to all employees, regardless of gender, colour, ethnicity, religion, sexual orientation and disability.

As part of the company's equal opportunities policy, procedures are in place that are designed to provide for full and fair consideration and selection of disabled applicants, to ensure that they are properly trained to perform safely and effectively and to provide career opportunities that allow them to fulfil their full potential. When an employee becomes disabled in the course of their employment, the company will actively seek to retain them wherever possible by making adjustments to their work content and environment or by retraining them to undertake new roles. Details of the number of employees in the company are given in note 6.

Statement of directors' responsibilities

The directors acknowledge their responsibilities for preparing the Annual Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and regulations.

Company law requires the directors to prepare financial statements for each financial year. Under that law the directors have elected to prepare the financial statements in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice (United Kingdom Accounting Standards and applicable law). Under company law the directors must not approve the financial statements unless they are satisfied that they give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the company and of the profit or loss of the company for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the directors are required to:

select suitable accounting policies and apply them consistently;

make judgements and accounting estimates that are reasonable and prudent;

state whether applicable UK Accounting Standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; and

prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the company will continue in business.

The directors are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that are sufficient to show and explain the company's transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the company and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

Directors receive a significant induction programme and a range of information about the company when they join the Board. This includes considerable background information on Munnelly Group Limited, Board procedures and the company's code of business conduct and ethics. In addition, Directors also take part in a series of one-to-one meetings with other members of the Board and senior executives which includes briefings on the company's business strategy, financial procedures, business development and other key issues.

The training is supplemented throughout the year by a series of internal and external updates, including visits to operating sites to meet local management and to visit activities undertaken by the company in the United Kingdom.

Directors' Report for the Year Ended 31 March 2023

Disclosure of information to the auditors

Each director has taken steps that they ought to have taken as a director in order to make themselves aware of any relevant audit information and to establish that the company's auditors are aware of that information. The directors confirm that there is no relevant information that they know of and of which they know the auditors are unaware.

Reappointment of auditors

In accordance with section 485 of the Companies Act 2006, a resolution for the re-appointment of Landmark Audit Limited as auditors of the company is to be proposed at the forthcoming Annual General Meeting.

Munnelly Support Services Limited

Independent Auditor's Report to the Members of Munnelly Support Services Limited

Opinion

We have audited the financial statements of Munnelly Support Services Limited (the 'company') for the year ended 31 March 2023, which comprise the Profit and Loss Account and Statement of Retained Earnings, Balance Sheet, and Notes to the Financial Statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards, including Financial Reporting Standard 102 The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).

In our opinion the financial statements:

give a true and fair view of the state of the company's affairs as at 31 March 2023 and of its profit for the year then ended;

have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice; and

have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006.

Basis for opinion

We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the auditor responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the company in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the UK, including the FRC’s Ethical Standard, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Conclusions relating to going concern

In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the director's use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate.

Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the company's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the original financial statements were authorised for issue.

Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the directors with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report.

Other information

The directors are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the annual report, other than the financial statements and our auditor’s report thereon. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report, we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.

In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether there is a material misstatement in the financial statements or a material misstatement of the other information. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact.

We have nothing to report in this regard.

 

Munnelly Support Services Limited

Independent Auditor's Report to the Members of Munnelly Support Services Limited

Opinion on other matter prescribed by the Companies Act 2006

In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of the audit:

the information given in the Strategic Report and Directors' Report for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements; and

the Strategic Report and Directors' Report have been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements.

Matters on which we are required to report by exception

In the light of our knowledge and understanding of the company and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the Strategic Report and the Directors' Report.

We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters where the Companies Act 2006 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion:

adequate accounting records have not been kept, or returns adequate for our audit have not been received from branches not visited by us; or

the financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns; or

certain disclosures of directors' remuneration specified by law are not made; or

we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit.

Responsibilities of directors

As explained more fully in the statement of directors' responsibilities [set out on page 5], the directors are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the financial statements, the directors are responsible for assessing the company's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the directors either intend to liquidate the company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.

Auditor Responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.

The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below:

 

Munnelly Support Services Limited

Independent Auditor's Report to the Members of Munnelly Support Services Limited

Our approach to identifying and assessing the risks of material misstatement in respect of irregularities, including fraud and non-compliance with laws and regulations, was as follows:

• the engagement partner ensured that the engagement team collectively had the appropriate competence, capabilities and skills to identify or recognise non-compliance with applicable laws and regulations;
• we identified the laws and regulations applicable to the company through discussions with directors and other management, and from our commercial knowledge and experience of the sector;
• we focused on specific laws and regulations which we considered may have a direct material effect on the financial statements or the operations of the company, including the Companies Act 2006, taxation legislation and data protection, anti-bribery, employment, environmental and health and safety legislation;
• we assessed the extent of compliance with the laws and regulations identified above through making enquiries of management and inspecting legal correspondence; and
• identified laws and regulations were communicated within the audit team regularly and the team remained alert to instances of non-compliance throughout the audit.

We assessed the susceptibility of the company’s financial statements to material misstatement, including obtaining an understanding of how fraud might occur, by:

• making enquiries of management as to where they considered there was susceptibility to fraud, their knowledge of actual, suspected and alleged fraud; and
• considering the internal controls in place to mitigate risks of fraud and non-compliance with laws and regulations.

To address the risk of fraud through management bias and override of controls, we:

• performed analytical procedures to identify any unusual or unexpected relationships;
• tested journal entries to identify unusual transactions;
• assessed whether judgements and assumptions made in determining the accounting estimates were indicative of potential bias; and
• investigated the rationale behind significant or unusual transactions.

In response to the risk of irregularities and non-compliance with laws and regulations, we designed procedures which included, but were not limited to:

• agreeing financial statement disclosures to underlying supporting documentation;
• reading the minutes of meetings of those charged with governance;
• enquiring of management as to actual and potential litigation and claims; and
• reviewing correspondence with HMRC, relevant regulators, and the company’s legal advisors.

There are inherent limitations in our audit procedures described above. The more removed that laws and regulations are from financial transactions, the less likely it is that we would become aware of non-compliance. Auditing standards also limit the audit procedures required to identify non-compliance with laws and regulations to enquiry of the directors and other management and the inspection of regulatory and legal correspondence, if any.

Material misstatements that arise due to fraud can be harder to detect than those that arise from error as they may involve deliberate concealment or collusion.

A further description of our responsibilities is available on the Financial Reporting Council’s website at: www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our auditor’s report.

 

Munnelly Support Services Limited

Independent Auditor's Report to the Members of Munnelly Support Services Limited

Use of our report

This report is made solely to the company’s members, as a body, in accordance with Chapter 3 of Part 16 of the Companies Act 2006. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the company’s members those matters we are required to state to them in an auditor’s report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the company and the company’s members as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

Accounting policies

Summary of significant accounting policies and key accounting estimates

The principal accounting policies applied in the preparation of these financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all the years presented, unless otherwise stated.

Statement of compliance

These financial statements were prepared in accordance with Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland and the Companies Act 2006'.

Basis of preparation

These financial statements have been prepared using the historical cost convention except that as disclosed in the accounting policies certain items are shown at fair value.

The presentational currency of these accounts is £ Sterling and the level of rounding is to the nearest £'000.

Summary of disclosure exemptions

As the consolidated financial statements of Munnelly Group Limited, the ultimate parent company, are prepared according to the full recognition, measurement and disclosure requirements of FRS 102 and therefore include equivalent disclosures, the company has taken the available exemptions under FRS 102 in respect of the following areas:
• Disclosures relating to the requirements of Section 7 Statement of Cash Flows;
• The disclosure requirements of Section 11 and Section 12, where disclosures equivalent to those required by FRS 102 are included in the consolidated financial statements of the group; and
• Disclosure requirements of Section 33 Related Party Disclosures, regarding disclosure of related party transactions between wholly owned members of the same group..

Revenue recognition

Turnover comprises the fair value of the consideration received or receivable for the provision of services in the ordinary course of the company’s activities. Turnover is shown net of sales/value added tax, returns, rebates and discounts.

The company recognises revenue when:
The amount of revenue can be reliably measured;
it is probable that future economic benefits will flow to the entity;
and specific criteria have been met for each of the company's activities.

Government grants

Government grants are recognised where there is a reasonable assurance that the grant will be received and the entity will comply with the conditions attached to them.

 

Munnelly Support Services Limited

Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 March 2023

Tax

The tax expense for the period comprises current tax. Tax is recognised in profit or loss, except that a change attributable to an item of income or expense recognised as other comprehensive income is also recognised directly in other comprehensive income.

The current income tax charge is calculated on the basis of tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date in the countries where the company operates and generates taxable income.

Tangible assets

Tangible assets are stated in the balance sheet at cost, less any subsequent accumulated depreciation and subsequent accumulated impairment losses.

The cost of tangible assets includes directly attributable incremental costs incurred in their acquisition and installation.

Depreciation

Depreciation is charged so as to write off the cost of assets, other than land and properties under construction over their estimated useful lives, as follows:

Asset class

Depreciation method and rate

Plant and Machinery

25% per annum straight line

Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash on hand and call deposits, and other short-term highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to a known amount of cash and are subject to an insignificant risk of change in value.

Trade debtors

Trade debtors are amounts due from customers for services performed in the ordinary course of business.

Trade debtors are recognised initially at the transaction price. They are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less provision for impairment. A provision for the impairment of trade debtors is established when there is objective evidence that the company will not be able to collect all amounts due according to the original terms of the receivables.

Trade creditors

Trade creditors are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of business from suppliers. Accounts payable are classified as current liabilities if the company does not have an unconditional right, at the end of the reporting period, to defer settlement of the creditor for at least twelve months after the reporting date. If there is an unconditional right to defer settlement for at least twelve months after the reporting date, they are presented as non-current liabilities.

Trade creditors are recognised initially at the transaction price and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

Leases

Leases in which substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership are retained by the lessor are classified as operating leases. Payments made under operating leases are charged to profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the period of the lease.

 

Munnelly Support Services Limited

Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 March 2023

Share capital

Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Equity instruments are measured at the fair value of the cash or other resources received or receivable, net of the direct costs of issuing the equity instruments. If payment is deferred and the time value of money is material, the initial measurement is on a present value basis.

Dividends

Dividend distribution to the company’s shareholders is recognised as a liability in the financial statements in the reporting period in which the dividends are declared.

Defined contribution pension obligation

A defined contribution plan is a pension plan under which fixed contributions are paid into a pension fund and the company has no legal or constructive obligation to pay further contributions even if the fund does not hold sufficient assets to pay all employees the benefits relating to employee service in the current and prior periods.

Contributions to defined contribution plans are recognised as employee benefit expense when they are due. If contribution payments exceed the contribution due for service, the excess is recognised as a prepayment.

Financial instruments
