Group Strategic Report |
for the year ended 31 December 2023 |
The directors present their strategic report of the company and the group for the year ended 31 December 2023. |
REVIEW OF BUSINESS |
This review is intended to be consistent with the size and nature of our business and we aim to present a balanced and comprehensive review of the development and performance of the company during the year to 31st December 2023, its position at year end and an update of events after the balance sheet date to enable a better understanding by the readers of the accounts as to the Company's financial position. |
Company has consolidated its core business, returning profits of £3,165,803, before tax, on a turnover of £85,170,616. This was achieved by concentrating on our highways maintenance and infrastructure skills and ensuring that projects obtained and delivered certainty and a healthy margin. Due to increased return, cash flow and profitability have been restored with healthy cash balances being reported at year end. Residential housebuilding slowed due to interest rate increases and a slowdown in the nationwide housing market. However, we are well positioned to take advantage of any positive upturn in 2024. |
The company will continue to maintain its focus on working capital and cash management in the future and continue to leverage our specialist expertise whilst seeking new opportunities, within our sector, for increased margin generation. |
PRINCIPAL RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES |
Government spending decisions - we recognise that the majority of income is from government sources and can be affected by changes in government policy |
Economic uncertainty - there is ongoing uncertainty due to the risk of recession, further inflationary and interest rate increases along with possible changes in Government policy following the election due this year. |
Geopolitical disruptions - the current uncertain state of world politics, including Ukraine, Yemen and the Middle East can all have an impact on local economic conditions. The Directors continue to monitor these impacts and react as necessary. |
Financial risk - the company has a broad range of customers including both private companies and public sector bodies. The risk that the company will suffer from significant levels of bad debts is managed by the diversified portfolio and well established credit control procedures across the company. The company is funded through a combination of hire purchase funding and a credit facility with the company's bankers who have remained supportive throughout this period and beyond. |
The above risk are typical of the current UK economy and we are confident that they do not represent an undue risk to the success of the business. Our current portfolio of Government backed, long term contracts, will continue to provide a significant buffer to these uncertainties. This is recognised in the Company improving its cash position since the year end and continues to work with positive cash balances, as it expects to continue to do so through 2024. |
SECTION 172(1) STATEMENT |
The board of directors of McCann Group Ltd consider, both individually and together, that they have acted in the way they consider, in good faith, would be most likely to promote the success of the company for the benefit of its members as a whole (having regard to the stakeholders and matters set out in s172(1)(a-f) of the act). |
The particulars of which have been set out in in the review of the business above. |

Group Strategic Report |
for the year ended 31 December 2023 |
STRATEGY |
As a leading British infrastructure company with wide sector experience, diverse skills, strong management and a clear set of values, our objective is to achieve year-on-year sustainable organic business growth, focussing on its core business. Turnover is forecast to be £72m for 2024 and £80m for 2025, consolidating our 2023 performance and effectively managing the planned increased activity to maintain and improve existing margins. |
Where appropriate, we will continue to target long term profitable contracts whilst maintaining our customer centric delivery model that allows a flexible response to their needs. This will continue to provide a stable client base and the opportunity for longer term investments. |
In line with our strategy we have already been successful in securing a framework extension with Hillingdon Borough Council. We were also successful in securing a 10 year £35m street light maintenance and capital framework with Suffolk County Council. These significant wins have been complimented with repeat business on the back of our existing frameworks with Sandwell County Council and a continuation of service with Birmingham City Council. |

Report of the Directors |
for the year ended 31 December 2023 |
STATEMENT OF DIRECTORS' RESPONSIBILITIES |
The directors are responsible for preparing the Group Strategic Report, the Report of the Directors 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 the group and of the profit or loss of the group for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the directors are required to: |
- | select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently; |
- | make judgements and accounting estimates that are reasonable and prudent; |
- | state whether applicable accounting standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; |
- | 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 and the group's transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the company and the group 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 the group and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities. |
STATEMENT AS TO DISCLOSURE OF INFORMATION TO AUDITORS |
So far as the directors are aware, there is no relevant audit information (as defined by Section 418 of the Companies Act 2006) of which the group's auditors are unaware, and each director has taken all the steps that he ought to have taken as a director in order to make himself aware of any relevant audit information and to establish that the group's auditors are aware of that information. |
AUDITORS |
The auditors, Clayton & Brewill, will be proposed for re-appointment at the forthcoming Annual General Meeting. |
ON BEHALF OF THE BOARD: |
Report of the Independent Auditors to the Members of |
McCann Group Limited |
Opinion |
We have audited the financial statements of McCann Group Limited (the 'parent company') and its subsidiaries (the 'group') for the year ended 31 December 2023 which comprise the Consolidated Income Statement, Consolidated Other Comprehensive Income, Consolidated Balance Sheet, Company Balance Sheet, Consolidated Statement of Changes in Equity, Company Statement of Changes in Equity, Consolidated Cash Flow Statement and Notes to the Consolidated Cash Flow Statement, 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 group's and of the parent company affairs as at 31 December 2023 and of the group's 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 Auditors' responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the group 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 directors' 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 group's and the parent company's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are 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 in the Group Strategic Report and the Report of the Directors, but does not include the financial statements and our Report of the Auditors 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 this gives rise to a material misstatement in the financial statements themselves. 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. |
Opinions on other matters 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 Group Strategic Report and the Report of the Directors for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements; and |
- | the Group Strategic Report and the Report of the Directors have been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements. |
Report of the Independent Auditors to the Members of |
McCann Group Limited |
Matters on which we are required to report by exception |
In the light of the knowledge and understanding of the group and the parent company and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the Group Strategic Report or the Report of the Directors. |
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 by the parent company, or returns adequate for our audit have not been received from branches not visited by us; or |
- | the parent company 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 five, 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 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 group's and the parent 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 group or the parent company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so. |
Auditors' 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 a Report of the Auditors 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: |
- Enquiry of management and those charged with governance around actual and potential litigation and claims; |
- Reviewing financial statement disclosures and testing to supporting documentation to assess compliance with applicable laws and regulations; |
- Performing audit work over the risk of management override of controls, including testing of journal entries and other adjustments for appropriateness, evaluating the business rationale of significant transactions outside the normal course of business and reviewing accounting estimates for bias. |
A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the Financial Reporting Council's website at www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our Report of the Auditors. |

1. | STATUTORY INFORMATION |
McCann Group Limited is a |
2. | ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
Basis of preparing the financial statements |
Basis of consolidation |
The consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of the parent company and each of those companies in which it owns, directly or indirectly through subsidiaries, over 50 percent of the voting rights or in which it is in a position to govern the financial and operating policies of the entity. The companies acquired during the financial period have been consolidated from the beginning of the period in full. Subsidiaries sold have been included up to their date of disposal. |
All intercompany transactions, balances and gains or losses on transactions between subsidiaries are eliminated as part of the consolidation process. Minority interests are presented in the consolidated balance sheets separate from the equity attributable to shareholders. Minority interests are separately disclosed in the consolidated profit and loss account. |
Acquisitions of companies are accounted for using the purchase method. The cost of an acquisition is measured at fair value over the assets given up, shares issued or liabilities incurred or assumed at the date of acquisition including any costs directly attributable to the acquisition. The excess acquisition cost over the fair value of net assets acquired is recognised as goodwill. If the cost of acquisition is less than the fair value of the Group’s share of the net assets acquired, the difference is recognised directly through profit and loss. |
Turnover |
Revenue on contracts is valued on a contract by contract basis. When the outcome of a contract can be estimated reliably contract revenue and costs are recognised by reference to the degree of completion of each contract as measured by the proportion of total costs at the balance sheet date to the estimated total cost of the contract. When the outcome of a contract cannot be estimated reliably, contract revenue is recognised to the extent of contract costs incurred, where it is probable these costs will be recovered. |
When it is probable that the total contract costs will exceed total contract revenue, the expected loss is recognised immediately. Contract costs are recognised as an expense in the period in which they are incurred. |
Where costs incurred plus recognised profits less recognised losses exceed progress billings, the balance is shown as amounts recoverable on contracts within debtors. Where progress billings exceed costs incurred plus recognised profits less recognised losses, the balance is shown as deferred income within creditors. |
Tangible fixed assets |
Plant and machinery | - |
Fixtures and fittings | - |
Motor vehicles | - |
Computer equipment | - |
Investment property |
Investment property is shown at most recent valuation. Any aggregate surplus or deficit arising from changes in fair value is recognised in profit or loss. |

2. | ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued |
Stocks |
Work in progress is valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value. |
Cost is calculated using the first-in, first-out method and includes all purchase, transport, and handling costs in bringing stocks to their present location and condition. |
Taxation |
Taxation for the year comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is recognised in the Consolidated Income Statement, except to the extent that it relates to items recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity. |
Current or deferred taxation assets and liabilities are not discounted. |
Current tax is recognised at the amount of tax payable using the tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date. |
Deferred tax |
Deferred tax is recognised in respect of all timing differences that have originated but not reversed at the balance sheet date. |
Timing differences arise from the inclusion of income and expenses in tax assessments in periods different from those in which they are recognised in financial statements. Deferred tax is measured using tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the year end and that are expected to apply to the reversal of the timing difference. |
Unrelieved tax losses and other deferred tax assets are recognised only to the extent that it is probable that they will be recovered against the reversal of deferred tax liabilities or other future taxable profits. |
Foreign currencies |
Assets and liabilities in foreign currencies are translated into sterling at the rates of exchange ruling at the balance sheet date. Transactions in foreign currencies are translated into sterling at the rate of exchange ruling at the date of transaction. Exchange differences are taken into account in arriving at the operating result. |
Hire purchase and leasing commitments |
Assets obtained under hire purchase contracts or finance leases are capitalised in the balance sheet. Those held under hire purchase contracts are depreciated over their estimated useful lives. Those held under finance leases are depreciated over their estimated useful lives or the lease term, whichever is the shorter. |
The interest element of these obligations is charged to profit or loss over the relevant period. The capital element of the future payments is treated as a liability. |
Rentals paid under operating leases are charged to profit or loss on a straight line basis over the period of the lease. |
Pension costs and other post-retirement benefits |
The group operates a defined contribution pension scheme. Contributions payable to the group's pension scheme are charged to profit or loss in the period to which they relate. |
