GROUP STRATEGIC REPORT |
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 JULY 2023 |
The director presents his strategic report of the company and the group for the year ended 31 July 2023. |
REVIEW OF BUSINESS |
The group continues to offer a full range of ethical waste disposal, supplying, quality construction materials, providing transport services including grab lorries, skip hire and an extensive fleet of skip and waste collection services. |
The results of the group show an operating profit of £134,009.on a turnover of £7.56 million. |
Business Environment |
The group continues to expand its operations in terms of greater channel revenue and strengthening departmentally across the organisation. In particular, the growth in revenue in the months after the end of this financial year as a result of greater investment in plant and vehicles and more efficient logistics is a testament to the team and the focused strategy. Marketing has improved, movements and logistics are improving and the repairs and running costs are better with the newer equipment. In addition, a much greater focus on key performance indicators across the group has helped to target the growth of existing business and has proven to be a successful formula for new works too. |
The accounts show a significant improvement and we can see from the present post balance sheet period that this is only getting stronger. We were lowering the focus on planings but that channel is now contributing well to the overall profitability again. |
Inflation is still a factor but it is widely accepted that it is embedded in pricing now and we expect that the Autumn of 2024 will bring lower levels again. The national shortage of drivers has been overcome by targeted recruiting and we have been very careful as a company to maintain an eye on the cost/benefit of expensive haulage. The driver apprenticeship scheme is still going well and the in-house training is a benefit to the group and the driving team generally. |
The wash plant investment was secured just after the year-end and the arrangement we had before, now consolidated into the purchase of the plant. Significant savings will stream into 2024 and the Bunny Lane site continues to be a very busy hub indeed. The new plant has increased our waste operating capacity measurably. The demand for washed and recycled aggregates carries on unabated and we feel strongly set to flex to the demands of the market now. |
There is strong seasonality in the construction sector and this is still a factor in the winter as is the weather throughout but our skip business is thriving despite this with the recent investment made in new bins. |
Our increased marketing and sales approach is paying dividends and we feel now that most of the market has soaked up the post-Covid effects. There is a little bit more confidence which is slightly subdued by interest rates over all sectors but the group is set fair to ride out any headwinds in that respect and benefit from the predicted lowering of rates in 2024. |
Our customers are growing and very loyal. We pride ourselves on service and are constantly tweaking these areas too. |
Eighteen months ago the group experienced a change at the top with one of the founding director/shareholders going and this has left a clear direction for the remaining incumbent to pursue the growth and fulfil the ambitions of the organisation as well as benefiting from cost savings. |
WALTET LIMITED (REGISTERED NUMBER: 06550655) |
GROUP STRATEGIC REPORT |
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 JULY 2023 |
Strategy |
The company is focussing on its key performance indicators in all areas including logistics, investment returns, sales and marketing , recovery days and efficiencies across the board. The investment will not stop, with a new CRM system, electronic weighbridge upgrade and increases in production through the wash-plant and efficiencies over all of the many business channels. |
The key elements are thus: |
- Broadening the product range |
- Efficiency in terms of trips and logistics |
- Solid reporting and KPI analysis including SWOT analysis |
- Investment |
- Good recruiting where necessary |
Future Outlook |
As alluded to above 2024 is a better trading period month on month. The directors are predicting a 10% increase in turnover and greater margins. |
The environment will, of course, remain highly competitive and with an election around the corner we have political and geo-political uncertainty to factor in. This is taken into account as much as possible with conservative forecasting and budgeting. |
The purchase of the wash plant makes us autonomous to a certain extent and very productive. That will flow into profit and product diversity. |
PRINCIPAL RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES |
The directors are acutely aware of the tough business environment that they work in, the political position at the moment and the prospect of a new Government in 2024. They have been continuing to strengthen across all departments and are highly accountable to each of their teams and themselves as a Board. Information flow is much clearer, new channels of work identified and in some cases new ideas bringing greater performance and logistical economies. |
The directors are confident that they have done everything possible to mitigate most risks associated with the uncertain environment all UK businesses operate in but are comforted in the knowledge that the current UK trading picture is not isolated as they look across to the Continent and beyond. |
The growth experienced in the last part of 2023 and 2024 is deemed sustainable and scalable. |
The management do look at risks to the business and they review them regularly and the key risks identified are as below: |
Competition |
It is a very competitive market and so an eye is always on margin when prospecting for work. Not being the cheapest in the market does have a risk but this is countered by excellent service levels. Operating on the customer experience is key and fulfilling orders promptly is a KPI that is carefully watched. We also review the state of the current competition. It's a constant process. We are focusing less on an expanded area but trying to minimise costs by keeping it at a local level and this is working well. |

GROUP STRATEGIC REPORT |
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 JULY 2023 |
Employee |
The directors realise that they are not going to achieve the excellence that the company is capable of without a well-trained and dedicated team. Team meetings are regular because of the threat to the group of departures that materially affect a section. The directors and team are compensated for their loyalty, skill and dedication but are acutely aware of areas where there may be a single point of failure and are equipped to respond accordingly. |
Supply Chain |
The group has a diverse range of suppliers due to the stock range. They are also exposed to external threats and so the group always has in mind alternatives for this purpose. The group has been very fortunate to have great suppliers for decades and the relationships are kept strong. Insurance is kept in place for eventualities as indeed it is for the whole group's activities. |
KEY PERFORMANCE INDICATORS |
We have made significant progress in the year on the group's overriding objective and elements of our strategy for growth. The board monitors progress on the overall strategy and the individual strategic elements by reference to our Key Performance Indicators (KPIs). |
Performance during the year, together with historical trend data is set out in the table below: |
2023 | 2022 | Definition, method of calculation |
Growth in sales (%) | 1.2% | (4.3%) | Year on year sales growth expressed as a percentage. Sales have grown in the year, off the back of greater investment and logistical efficiencies. |
Gross Margin (%) | 29.1% | 21.5% | Gross margin is the ratio of gross profit before exceptional items expressed as a percentage. Improvement to margins continues in all core growth business areas. |

The director presents his report with the financial statements of the company and the group for the year ended 31 July 2023. |

DIRECTORS |
Other changes in directors holding office are as follows: |
STATEMENT OF DIRECTOR'S RESPONSIBILITIES |
The director is responsible for preparing the Group Strategic Report, the Report of the Director and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and regulations. |
Company law requires the director to prepare financial statements for each financial year. Under that law the director has 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 director must not approve the financial statements unless he is 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 director is 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 director is 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 him to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. He is 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 director is 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 he 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. |
ON BEHALF OF THE BOARD: |
REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE MEMBERS OF |
WALTET LIMITED |
Opinion |
We have audited the financial statements of Waltet Limited (the 'parent company') and its subsidiaries (the 'group') for the year ended 31 July 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 July 2023 and of the group's 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 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 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 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 director with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report. |
Other information |
The director is responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information in the Group Strategic Report and the Report of the Director, 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. |
REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE MEMBERS OF |
WALTET LIMITED |
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 Director 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 Director have been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements. |
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 Director. |
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 director's remuneration specified by law are not made; or |
- | we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit. |
Responsibilities of director |
As explained more fully in the Statement of Director's Responsibilities set out on page five, the director is 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 director determines 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 director is 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 director either intends to liquidate the group or the parent company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so. |
REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE MEMBERS OF |
WALTET 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. |
Extent to which the audit was capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud 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. Due to the inherent limitations of an audit, there is a risk that we will not detect all irregularities even though the audit has been properly planned and performed in accordance with the ISAs (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 that are applicable to the company, and the industry in which it operates. These include but are not limited to compliance with the Companies Act 2006, UK Generally Accepted Accounting Principles and the relevant tax compliance regulations for the company. |
We obtained an understanding of how the company is complying with these frameworks through discussions with management. |
We enquired with management whether there were any instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations or whether they had knowledge of actual or suspected fraud. These enquiries are corroborated through follow-up audit procedures including but not limited to a review of legal and professional costs and correspondence. |
We assessed the susceptibility of the company's financial statements to material misstatement, including the risk of fraud and management override of controls. We designed our audit procedures to respond to this assessment, including the identification and testing of any related party transactions and the testing of journal transactions that arise from management estimates, that are determined to be of significant value or unusual in their nature. |
We assessed the appropriateness of the collective competence and capabilities of the engagement team, including consideration of the engagement team's knowledge and understanding of the industry in which the company operates in, and their practical experience through training and participation with audit engagements of a similar nature. |
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. |

2. | ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
Basis of preparing the financial statements |
The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the group. Monetary amounts in these financial statements are rounded to the nearest £1. |
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, modified to include certain financial instruments at fair value. |
The principle accounting policies adopted are set out below. |
Going concern |
The Directors have concluded that with the right management actions the group is a going concern for at least 12 months following the signature of the financial statements. Accordingly the Directors have prepared the financial statements on this basis. |
The Directors have refocussed on the key business drivers that have made it a success historically. Measures have been put in place to drive through cost savings in these key business driver areas, systems introduced to allow for the monitoring of these costs and the identification of further potential cost savings going forward. |
The Directors have also focussed on key asset utilisation. Any older or under utilised assets have been sold, reducing the company's debt position and strengthening the group's cash position. Going forward, there is a focus on ensuring that asset utilisation remains at high levels. |
The Directors are of the opinion that the steps taken will help to ensure that the group remains a going concern. |
Related party exemption |
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. |
Transactions between group entities which have been eliminated on consolidation are not disclosed within the financial statements. |

2. | ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued |
Turnover |
For goods, turnover represents sales of goods net of VAT and trade discounts. Turnover is recognised when the goods are physically dispatched to the customer. |
Where services are supplied, turnover represents the value of services provided under contracts to the extent that there is a right to consideration and is recorded at the value of the consideration due. |
Goodwill |
Goodwill arising on consolidation is being written off over its useful estimated life of 10 years. |
Tangible fixed assets |
Freehold property | - 2% straight line |
Improvements to property | - 10 - 20 years straight line |
Plant and machinery | - 10% reducing balance and 20 years straight line |
Fixtures and fittings | - 25% reducing balance |
Motor vehicles | - 25% reducing balance |
Computer equipment | - 25% reducing balance |
No depreciation is provided on Freehold land. |
Stocks |
Stocks are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value, after making due allowance for obsolete and slow moving items. |
Cost is determined using the weighted average cost method. |
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. |

2. | ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued |
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. |
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. |
Financial instruments |
The group has elected to apply the provisions of Section 11 'Basic Financial Instruments' and Section 12 'Other Financial Instruments Issues' of FRS 102 to all of its financial instruments. |
Financial assets |
Financial assets are recognised in the group's statement of financial position when the group becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. |
Basic financial assets, which include trade and other receivables and cash and bank balances are initially measured at transaction price including transaction costs and are subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method, unless the arrangement constitutes a financial transaction, where the transaction is measured at the present value of the future receipts discounted at a market rate of interest. |
Financial liabilities |
Basic financial liabilities, which include trade and other payables, are initially measured at transaction price and subsequently measured at amortised cost, 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. |
Equity instruments |
Equity instruments issued by the group are recorded at the fair value of the proceeds received net of direct issue costs. Dividends payable on equity instruments are recognised as liabilities once they are no longer at the discretion of the group. |
