Strategic Report |
for the period 1 April 2022 to 30 March 2023 |
The directors present their strategic report for the period 1 April 2022 to 30 March 2023. |
GTM is a leading provider of traffic management and event management services, with a network of depots across its primary operating regions. |
The business has had another excellent year, delivering improved turnover and profitability with strong cash generation through operational efficiency across an expanding geographical footprint. The growth of the business is in line with its five year strategy to secure leading positions across the UK in markets driven by long term programmes of spending on asset renewal and maintenance of strategic infrastructure in the highways and utility sectors. |
We were awarded or re-secured during the year all the key frameworks targeted within the 2022 - 2023 Business Plan. This organic growth will be supplemented by acquisitions during subsequent years of the Plan, such as the strategic acquisition of Capital Traffic Management in June 2021. |
Capital Traffic Management operates across London and the South East and has a number of long term contracts to provide specialist traffic management services on some of the country's busiest, high profile highways. |
Results for the year ended 30 March 2023: |
Go Traffic Management, announces a strong performance for the period, having achieved both substantial sales growth and increased profitability in the year. Our markets have retained robust demand and this will continue because our customers have committed spends over the duration of their respective regulatory cycles. |

Strategic Report |
for the period 1 April 2022 to 30 March 2023 |
Review of business |
This has been a hugely successful and important year for Go Traffic Management. We have made decisive progress in safely delivering our strategic objectives and further strengthening the Company's position in our chosen markets. This has been achieved by continuing to implement a policy to 'protect and grow' the business. Our priority is to deliver organic growth by delivering to existing customers' expectations and selectively bidding for new work in adjacent markets and geographies. Focusing on those activities that are most suited to our core skills and capabilities enables us to provide efficient and effective services on behalf of our customers. This approach has been key to delivering an excellent set of results. |
In July 2022, it was announced that OMERS Private Equity had entered into an agreement with management and institutional shareholders to acquire the Network Plus Group of Companies. OMERS are committed to working with the Group's management team to developing core operations and enhance our expertise in adjacent infrastructure markets. This will ensure the Group companies continue to deliver essential services on behalf of our customers and create new opportunities for employees to develop their careers within the business. |
The Company complies fully with the General Data Protection Regulations (GDPR) and the Data Protection Act (DPA). We achieved ISO27001 accreditation for our Information Security Management System (ISMS). This is in addition to our Cyber Essentials Plus certification. |
We have also ensured that the appropriate levels of corporate governance are in place and that succession planning, training and development opportunities remain key areas of focus. |
Our HR function oversees our Talent Management programme and is responsible for liaising with individual contracts and Group functions to identify their requirements and undertake the appropriate levels of apprentice and graduate recruitments. |
The Company maintains an exceptionally strong financial position with significant cash reserves which enables operational and strategic flexibility, the opportunity for further investment and expansion, and resilience to meet unforeseen market conditions, opportunities and operational challenges. |
We have worked closely with our valued customers to ensure our cash collection is operating within contractually agreed terms. We have also continued with our investment strategy in vehicles, IT and equipment to ensure the welfare of our workforce and enable us to deliver effective and efficient services. |
Electric vehicle charging points have been installed at key office and operational depots to further reduce our carbon footprint and the impact of our activities on the environment. We have also changed our Company Car and Operational Vehicle Policy to ensure a phased migration from petrol and diesel engines to electric or hybrid cars and small vans. This is improving the fuel economy of our fleet as well as lowering fuel costs and reducing our carbon emissions. |
The Company has further invested in new, energy efficient regional offices to support growth and expand our geographic coverage across the south of England. |

Strategic Report |
for the period 1 April 2022 to 30 March 2023 |
Principal risks and uncertainties |
Go Traffic Management continues to develop its position within our chosen markets where activities benefit from ongoing spend on essential asset maintenance and renewals. These markets are underpinned by regulatory requirements and, as such, benefit from long-term visible cycles of investment. |
The Company is exposed to potential short, medium and long term risks because of the nature of the work we undertake and the markets in which we operate. During the year, we continued to make progress in maintaining an excellent health and safety performance as well as successfully managing all key risks. |
Most of these risks relate to operational and commercial performance. They are managed daily by supervisors and managers. Their effectiveness is monitored, measured and reported in contract management information reports. These reports are reviewed by the Board at monthly performance meetings to ensure that all significant risks have been suitably identified, assessed and managed. |
Most of these risks relate to operational and commercial performance. They are managed daily by supervisors and managers. Their effectiveness is monitored, measured, and reported in contract management information reports. These reports are reviewed by the Board at monthly performance meetings to ensure that all significant risks have been suitably identified, assessed, and managed. |
If an individual contract or departmental risk is sufficiently serious, it is included in the Key Risk Register (KRR). The KRR is subject to at least a quarterly review by the Board. These reviews are in addition to the monthly meetings that are used to assess trends in operational and financial performance. |
All risks and mitigation measures are documented, allocated owners, reviewed and updated each quarter or whenever there is a material change in circumstances |
. |
In addition to the risks outlined above, the Company addresses other financial risks as follows: |
Credit risk - credit checks are carried out where appropriate for new and existing customers and for suppliers to whom payments on account are made. |
Liquidity risk - the Group takes account of cash flow requirements when determining the period of time for which funds are placed on deposit with financial institutions. |
Cash flow risk - the Board monitors the level of funds held within the business to ensure that there are sufficient funds available for working capital requirements, capital expenditure, the payment of tax and the service of Group debt. Consideration is also given to the impact of potential downturns in the level of business. |
Future developments |
The directors have an ambitious plan to grow the Company significantly over the coming years. The trading prospects in current markets are positive. Our order book is strong having been successful in a number of new work tenders during the year, and also, work volumes increasing on mature contracts. We are well positioned to embark on the next phase of our development through organic growth, selective bidding of new opportunities and potential acquisitions that will expand our range of services and our customer base. Our focus will remain on those markets where non-discretionary spending programmes exist to maintain critical infrastructure. |
The directors and management of the Company will continue to maintain appropriate levels of governance and control to ensure the we are protected against potential future failure costs. We have strengthened our position in markets which benefit from visible funding. These markets have excellent long term prospects with growth driven by regulatory requirements. Our multi-disciplinary maintenance and engineering services are closely aligned with the sustained investment in these markets which provides the Board with confidence in future growth. |

Other changes in directors holding office are as follows: |
Statement of directors' responsibilities |
The directors are responsible for preparing the 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 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 then apply them consistently; |
- | make judgements and accounting estimates that are reasonable and prudent; |
- | 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. |
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 company'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 company's auditors are aware of that information. |
Auditors |
The auditors, Haines Watts, 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 |
Go Traffic Management Limited |
Opinion |
We have audited the financial statements of Go Traffic Management Limited (the 'company') for the period ended 30 March 2023 which comprise the Statement of Comprehensive Income, Balance Sheet, Statement of Changes in Equity 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 30 March 2023 and of its profit for the period 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 |
Go Traffic Management Limited |
Matters on which we are required to report by exception |
In the light of the 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 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, 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 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 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. |
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: |
- Identifying and assessing the design and effectiveness of controls that management have in place to prevent and detect fraud; |
- Understanding how those charged with governance considered and addressed the potential for override of those controls, or other inappropriate influence over the financial reporting process; |
- We perform walkthrough testing to confirm that the company's own controls were operating correctly. |
- We test a sample of sales and purchases to confirm they are accounted for correctly and are appropriately disclosed. |
- We test a sample of debtors and creditors to confirm they are correctly stated. |
- We test a sample of journals to confirm they are genuine transactions. |
- We review accounting estimates to confirm that they are reasonable. |
Because of the inherent limitations of an audit, there is a risk that we will not detect all irregularities, including those leading to a material misstatement in the financial statements or non-compliance with regulation. This risk increases the more that compliance with a law or regulation is removed from the events and transactions reflected in the financial statements, as we will be less likely to become aware of instances of non-compliance. The risk is also greater regarding irregularities occurring due to fraud rather than error, as fraud involves intentional concealment, forgery, collusion, omission or misrepresentation. |
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. |

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 a Report of the Auditors and for no other purpose.

• | the requirements of Section 7 Statement of Cash Flows. |
Significant judgements and estimates |
Estimates and judgements are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. |
There are not considered to be any critical judgements in applying the company's accounting policies. |
The company makes estimates and assumptions concerning the future. The resulting accounting estimates will, by definition, seldom equal the related actual results. There are not considered to be any estimates and assumptions which have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets or liabilities. |

Financial instruments |
The company has chosen to adopt Sections 11 and 12 of FRS 102 in respect of financial instruments. |
(i) Financial assets |
Basic financial assets, including trade and other receivables, cash and bank balances and investments in commercial paper are initially recognised at transaction price, unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the transaction is measured at the present value of the future receipts discounted at a market rate of interest. |
Such assets are subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method. |
(ii) Financial liabilities |
Basic financial liabilities, including trade and other payables, bank loans and loans from fellow group companies are initially recognised at transaction price, unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the debt instrument is measured at the present value of the future receipts discounted at a market rate of interest. |
Debt instruments are subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method. |
Trade payables 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 payment is due within one year. If not, they are presented as non-current liabilities. Trade payables are initially recognised at transaction price and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. |
Taxation |
Taxation for the period comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is recognised in the Statement of Comprehensive Income, 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 period 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. |
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. |
