REVIEW OF BUSINESS |
Revenues for the year ending 30 June 2023 have decreased in the year, as predicted, primarily as a result of delays to existing projects in backlog. The company order book backlog has significantly increased again over the last year, by 16.8%, as Order Intake has been maintained at a similar level to the previous year. This means that the business starts this new financial year in a strong position, with the expectation that revenues will increase back to their previous level. Many of the larger orders received were from repeat customers and in particular one customer with projects across several countries. Much of the order book is for long term contracts and will return revenue over numerous years. |
The company continues to maintain an engineering presence in its office in Kaunas, Lithuania to access system automation engineering resource in country. This has expanded over the last year with the addition of some development engineers. This helps to maintain efficiency across the company's Northern Europe customer base. |
PRINCIPAL RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES |
The business environment in which the company operates continues to be challenging. The company itself faces competition from other major international suppliers of automated systems, along with new technologies that are being introduced in the marketplace. |
The 5 year plan analysed the future workload from the major customers and this has provided a good indication for the future growth of the company. |
Following the departure of the UK from the EU, TGW Limited has not seen any negative impact upon business volume arising as a result. However, the level of administration required to operate within the EU has increased as foreign travellers now require additional permits and visas, dependent upon country. |
Based on our current knowledge and available information, we do not expect Covid-19 to have an impact on our ability to continue as a going concern in the future. |
Disruptions to global supply chains continue to have an impact upon the timing of delivery of our long term projects, however, this is mitigated through more efficient ways of working, and re-scheduling where possible. Furthermore, we have seen an impact upon our margins of the escalating inflation within the UK. |
Movements in the relevant exchange rate can have a considerable impact on both its turnover and gross margin. Where customers trade in a foreign currency, the company then purchases in the same foreign currency to provide a natural hedge. The company has entered into a bank foreign exchange rate cash flow hedge to mitigate risk on the balance of the currency. |
With these risks and uncertainties in mind, we are aware that any plans for the future development of the business may be subject to unforeseen events outside of our control. |

STRATEGIC REPORT |
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2023 |
SECTION 172(1) STATEMENT |
The board of directors have complied with their S172 Companies Act 2006 duties during the period by initially identifying the main types of stakeholders in the business. In doing this we have considered our impact on stakeholders including our position on the environment. |
One of our primary stakeholder groups is our employees. The underlying company philosophy has always been to focus upon our employees, and put them first in a way that no other company has done before. We emphasise the importance of this through the company's drive towards learning and development. Supporting this was the global launch of the Good Habitz online learning platform as part of TGW "MINDtastic" programme, encouraging employees to learn new skills knowledge. |
Brexit has not had any significant effect on business; the company has worked with its suppliers and customs agents to ensure deliveries are made without any delays crossing the border. Our employees are provided with the necessary permits and visas on a timely basis, to both travel and work within the EU. |
As shown on our website, we adopt a values-based corporate culture which underpins the way we treat each other; the way we work and the way we lead. The consistent implementation of our corporate culture and values is a form of securing our long term visions and future. Additionally, we have established a core team across the business to ensure we are delivering upon our values, and that they truly "live" within the organisation. |
Company meetings at board and group level reflect the importance of this approach and consider the key stakeholder groups in all major decisions made. We encourage empowerment and a freedom from fear in our team in order to work with open minds whilst always having a responsible approach with utmost respect and appreciation. |

ENERGY AND EMISSIONS REPORT |
TGW NE Limited is absolutely committed to reducing its impact on the environment from operations and in 2022/23 the Environmental, Health and Safety (EHS) policies were further bolstered with an increased awareness towards both physical and mental health. Additionally, TGW commits to promoting a full 'life cycle thinking approach' where we aim to consider the environment within our projects, from initial concept, right through to end of life. |
TGW Ltd has again managed to achieve silver status with EcoVadis, strengthening on our position last year to be in the 78th percentile. EcoVadis is the only global provider of business sustainability ratings, with over 100,000 companies taking part across multiple industries. |
Hybrid working continues to operate and run smoothly within the organisation, maintaining a healthier work-life balance, whilst combining the advantage of reducing commuting and the harmful effects from emissions on the environment. |
Whilst the company launched a car benefit scheme focused towards purely electric cars last year, it was only in this year that participation has grown, with 20 employees now taking advantage of the "green" scheme. To supplement this, we invested in electric charging facilities at our main site in Market Harborough. Furthermore, we continue to see good involvement of our cycle-to-work scheme in place for the employees. |
We are firmly committed to caring for and protecting the environment. TGW strives to do everything possible to minimise the environmental impact from our operations to support creation of a more sustainable world for our future generations. |

STRATEGIC REPORT |
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2023 |
FINANCIAL KEY PERFORMANCE INDICATORS |
We consider that our key financial performance indicators are those that communicate the financial performance and strength of the company as a whole, these being revenue, gross margin, net assets and order backlog. |
Order intake, year on year, has fallen by £20,155,870 (16%) to £104,520,372, however, still remains above £100million. |
Year on year, the order backlog has improved substantially, from £136,060,708 to £158,957,995, and places the business on a strong foothold to grow over the coming year. |
The loss for the year before taxation was £1,555,028 (2022: profit of £7,166,060). |
The company's balance sheet position as at the year end is considered to be satisfactory. The net assets at the year-end fell to £9,056,982 (2022: £17,010,643). A dividend payment of £6,227,000 was made to the parent company in the year (2022: £2,300,000). |
Revenue has decreased by £14,485,210 being a 15.5% decrease year on year. The main driver behind this is the delay to certain projects within our order backlog, and will correct itself in the new financial year. Gross Margin, as a % of sales, has dropped from 13.5% to 11.2% as inflationary pressures have hit the business in the last year. Also, earnings before tax, as a % of sales, reduced from 7.7% to (2.0%). |
The budget for the next financial year is to return the business to a profitable position, taking advantage of the higher backlog position. |

REPORT OF THE DIRECTORS |
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2023 |
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; |
- | 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 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, Mark J Rees LLP Chartered Accountants, 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 |
TGW LIMITED |
Opinion |
We have audited the financial statements of TGW Limited (the 'company') for the year ended 30 June 2023 which comprise the Income Statement, Other Comprehensive Income, Balance Sheet, Statement of Changes in Equity, Cash Flow Statement and Notes to the 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 company's affairs as at 30 June 2023 and of its loss 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 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 |
TGW 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 eight, 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. |
REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE MEMBERS OF |
TGW LIMITED |
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: |
Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design procedures in line with our responsibilities outlined above, to detect material misstatements in respect of irregularities, including fraud. Owing to the inherent limitations of an audit, there is an unavoidable risk that material misstatements in the financial statements may not be detected, even though the audit is properly planned and performed in accordance with ISA's (UK). |
The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below. |
We obtained an understanding of the legal and regulatory frameworks applicable to the company and industry in which it operates through our general commercial experience. We determined that the following laws and regulations were most significant: FRS 102, Companies Act 2006 and the relevant tax compliance regulations in the UK. In addition, we concluded that there are certain laws and regulations that may have an effect in the determination of the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements such as health and safety and employee related matters. |
We enquired of management concerning the company's policies and procedures relating to: |
- the identification and compliance with laws and regulations |
- the detection and response to the risks of fraud |
- the internal controls inherent within the company to mitigate fraud risk and non-compliance to laws and regulations. |
We enquired of management, whether they were aware of any instance of non-compliance with laws and regulations or whether they had any knowledge of actual, suspected or alleged fraud. |
We communicated relevant laws and regulations and potential areas of fraud to all audit team members including the potential for fraud in revenue recognition through the manipulation of costs incurred on contracts. We remained alert to any indications of fraud or non-compliance with laws and regulations throughout the audit. |
We have determined that the principal risk areas where material irregularities could occur were related to posting manual journal entries to manipulate financial performance, revenue recognition, valuation of amounts recoverable on contracts and significant one-off or unusual transactions. |
Our audit procedures were designed to respond in particular to these identified risks (including non-compliance with laws and regulations and fraud). |
Our audit procedures included but were not limited to: |
- A review of a sample of contracts to ensure the carrying value at year end is appropriate and to identify any onerous contracts. On open contracts as at year end, a review of cut-off to ensure costs and income are correctly recognised in accordance with appropriate accounting standards. |
- A review of laws and regulations the company is subject to, followed by compliance checks and discussion with management to ensure no instances of non-compliance. |
REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE MEMBERS OF |
TGW LIMITED |
- Identifying and testing journal entries, on a sample basis, to review for potential management bias or manipulation of revenue recognition. |
We did not identify any matters during the course of our work that indicated non-compliance with laws and regulations or relating to fraud. |
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. |
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 a Report of the Auditors 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. |

The company has taken advantage of exemption, under the terms of Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland', not to disclose related party transactions with wholly owned subsidiaries within the group. |
Significant judgements and estimates |
There were no areas in which the preparation of the financial statements required management to make significant judgements or estimates aside from those dealt with separately below. |
Turnover |
Turnover comprises the fair value for the sale and installation of automated warehousing systems and the maintenance of the completed systems, excluding value added tax and represents net invoice value less rebates, returns and settlement discounts adjusted in accordance with the policy on long term contracts if applicable. The long-term contracts policy is relevant for the sale and installation of the automated warehouse systems. |
Turnover on uncompleted long-term contracts is determined on the basis of the stage of completion of each contract and this is calculated by multiplying the total of the costs incurred to date as a proportion of total costs anticipated by the estimated profit percentage for that contract. |
Intangible assets |
Intangible assets are initially measured at cost. After initial recognition, intangible assets are measured at cost less any accumulated amortisation and any accumulated impairment losses. |

Taxation |
Taxation for the year comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is recognised in the 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 |
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 company operates a defined contribution pension scheme. Contributions payable to the company's pension scheme are charged to profit or loss in the period to which they relate. |

Financial instruments |
Derivative financial instruments are recognised at fair value using a valuation technique with material movements being reported in a fair value reserve account on the basis of the hedges being highly effective. Any ineffective part of the hedge is immediately recognised in the profit and loss in the relevant period. Outstanding material derivatives at reporting date are included under the appropriate format heading in debtors or creditors depending on the nature of the derivative. |
The company designates certain derivatives as hedging instruments in cash flow hedges. At the inception of the hedge relationship, the entity documents the economic relationship between the hedging instrument and the hedged item, along with the risk management objectives and clear identification of the risk in the hedged item that is being hedged by the hedging instrument. Furthermore, at the inception of the hedge the company determines and documents causes for hedge ineffectiveness. |
The company has a risk management strategy in place and the foreign exchange risk arising from sales contracts in foreign currencies is hedged. As the critical terms of the forward contracts perfectly match the critical terms of the sales contract the hedges are deemed highly effective. |
Hedge accounting is discontinued when the company revokes the hedging relationship, the hedging instrument expires or is sold, terminated or exercised, or no longer qualifies for hedge accounting. Any gain or loss accumulated in equity at that time is reclassified to profit or loss when the hedged item is recognised in profit or loss. When a forecast transaction is no longer expected to occur, any gain or loss that was recognised within other comprehensive income is immediately reclassified to profit or loss. |
Debtors |
Short term debtors are measured at transaction price, less any impairment. |
Loans receivable and long term debtors are measured initially at fair value, net of transaction costs, and are measured subsequently, where material, at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less any impairment. |
Creditors |
Short term creditors are measured at transaction price, less any impairment. |
Other financial liabilities, including bank loans are measured initially at fair value, net of transaction costs, and are measured subsequently, where material, at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less any impairment. |
Going concern |
After reviewing the company's forecasts and projections, the directors have a reasonable expectation that the company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. The company therefore continues to adopt the going concern basis in preparing its financial statements. |
