GROUP STRATEGIC REPORT |
For The Year Ended 30 September 2023 |
The director presents his strategic report of the company and the group for the year ended 30 September 2023. |
REVIEW OF BUSINESS AND FUTURE DEVELOPMENTS |
Introduction |
This strategic report is submitted as part of the annual accounts filing for Tulimus Limited, the holding company for Contractors Plant Hire. Through Contractors Plant Hire, Tulimus Limited holds majority stakes in The Tool Hire Centre and X-Hire Limited. This report covers the financial year from September 2022 to September 2023, a period marked by significant strategic realignment aimed at strengthening the company's core operations and ensuring long-term profitability. |
Overview of Strategic Actions |
Divestment of Plant Hire Assets by Contractors Plant Hire: |
In response to declining profitability in the plant hire sector, Contractors Plant Hire, under the ownership of Tulimus Limited, divested the majority of its plant hire assets, which led to a reduction in the reported turnover and a profit on the sale of assets of £4.6 million. This strategic move was necessitated by market challenges, including intensified competition, rising operational costs, and shrinking margins that made continued investment in the plant hire segment unsustainable. |
The divestment was executed through an auction process that yielded favorable returns, providing Tulimus Limited with a stronger financial foundation. The proceeds from this sale have been instrumental in reducing debt, enhancing liquidity, and enabling strategic reinvestment in our core subsidiaries. As a result, the group accounts report net current assets of £465k (2022: net current liabilities of £1.337 million). |
Acquisition and Integration of Access Business by X-Hire Limited: |
During the reporting period, X-Hire Limited, one of the key subsidiaries of Contractors Plant Hire, acquired the assets of an access business that had entered administration. This acquisition aligned with our strategic objective to expand service offerings and strengthen our market position. However, the integration of these new assets posed significant challenges, requiring substantial investment in operational restructuring, systems integration, and workforce training. |
Despite the complexities and costs associated with the integration, the process is now largely complete. X-Hire Limited is poised to leverage these newly integrated assets and is expected to achieve profitability in the 2024-2025 financial year. |
Performance and Outlook of Subsidiaries |
The Tool Hire Centre: |
The Tool Hire Centre, another key subsidiary under Contractors Plant Hire, has made notable progress in its turnaround efforts. The focus has been on improving operational efficiencies, optimizing inventory management, and enhancing customer service. The implementation of advanced booking systems and customer engagement initiatives has begun to yield positive results. We expect these improvements to continue driving profitability in the next financial year. |
X-Hire Limited: |
X-Hire Limited experienced a challenging year due to the acquisition and subsequent integration of the access business. However, with the integration phase now largely behind us, X-Hire Limited is in a strong position to capitalize on the expanded service offerings and market opportunities. We anticipate a return to profitability for X-Hire Limited in the 2024-2025 financial year, driven by enhanced operational efficiencies and increased market penetration. |

GROUP STRATEGIC REPORT |
For The Year Ended 30 September 2023 |
Financial Position and Future Strategy |
Financial Position: |
Tulimus Limited's financial position has been significantly strengthened by the strategic actions undertaken during the reporting period. The proceeds from the divestment of plant hire assets have been utilized to reduce debt and reinvest in our core businesses, while also building a cash reserve to support future strategic initiatives. |
Future Strategy: |
Looking ahead, Tulimus Limited will continue to focus on maximizing the potential of its subsidiaries, The Tool Hire Centre and X-Hire Limited. Our strategy includes further enhancing operational efficiencies, expanding service offerings, and exploring potential growth opportunities within complementary markets. Our primary objective for the 2024-2025 financial year is to achieve sustained profitability across our portfolio of businesses. |
Conclusion |
The 2022-2023 financial year was transformative for Tulimus Limited and its subsidiaries. Through the divestment of non-core assets and strategic investments in growth and operational efficiency, we have positioned the company for future success. We remain confident in our ability to deliver long-term value to our stakeholders as we move into the next phase of our strategic plan. |
PRINCIPAL RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES |
At a group level the principal risks and uncertainties include: |
- Reduced demand for the group's services, particularly if activity within the construction industry continues to slow down |
- Rising cost pressures, especially the cost of diesel and inflation in the pricing of new machinery. |
- Deteriorating credit quality and increasing customer defaults. |
To mitigate these risks the business continues to monitor its investment in its fleet and related debt, the credit quality of its debtors and adjust the stock of items in the hire fleet to reflect demand levels. |
KEY PERFORMANCE INDICATORS |
The main indicators are revenue £11.4 million (2022: £13.8 million), operating profit of £2.868 million (2022: loss of £288k) and EBITDA of £4.654 million (2022: £2.446 million) |

DIRECTOR |
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. |

REPORT OF THE DIRECTOR |
For The Year Ended 30 September 2023 |
AUDITORS |
The auditors, Banks & Co, 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 |
TULIMUS LIMITED |
Opinion |
We have audited the financial statements of Tulimus Limited (the 'parent company') and its subsidiaries (the 'group') for the year ended 30 September 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 30 September 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 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. |
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. |
REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE MEMBERS OF |
TULIMUS 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 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 four, 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. |
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. |
Based on our understanding of the company and its industry, we identified that the principal risks of non-compliance with laws and regulations related to the UK tax legislation, employment regulation and health and safety regulation. We also considered those laws and regulations that have a direct impact on the preparation of the financial statements, such as the Companies Act 2006. |
We evaluated the director's and management's incentives and opportunities for fraudulent manipulation of the financial statements and determined that the principal risks related to posting of manual journals, management bias through judgements and assumptions in significant accounting estimates, and significant one-off or unusual transactions. |
REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE MEMBERS OF |
TULIMUS LIMITED |
Our audit procedures were designed to respond to these identified risks, including non-compliance with laws and regulations that are material to the financial statements. Our audit audit procedures included but were not limited to: |
- |
Making enquiries of the director and management on whether they had any knowledge of any actual, suspected or alleged fraud; |
- |
Discussing with the director and management their policies and procedures for regarding compliance with laws and regulations; |
- |
Communicating identified laws and regulations throughout our engagement team and remaining alert to any indications of non-compliance throughout the audit; |
- |
Assessing the risks of fraud through management override of controls by performing journal entry testing and analytical review procedures to identify any unusual or unexpected relationships |
The primary responsibility for the prevention and detection of irregularities including fraud rests with management. As with any audit, there remained a risk of non-detection of irregularities, as these may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations or the override of internal controls. |
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.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS |
For The Year Ended 30 September 2023 |
1. | STATUTORY INFORMATION |
Tulimus Limited is a |
2. | ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
Basis of preparing the financial statements |
The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the company. Monetary amounts included in these financial statements are rounded to the nearest £. |
Going concern |
The group meets its day-today working capital requirements through its bank facilities and from the support of its director. The current economic conditions create some uncertainty over the level of demand for the group's services. However, with the continuing support of the director, the group's forecasts show that the group should be able to operate within the level of its current facilities. |
The financial statements currently show net current assets of £464,902 (2022: net current liabilities of £1,336,680). The director has a reasonable expectation that the group has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. The group, therefore, adopts the going concern basis in preparing its financial statements. |
Basis of consolidation |
The consolidated financial statements incorporate the financial statements of the company and all entities controlled by the company, including through its subsidiaries. |
All financial statements are made up to the 30 September 2023. |
All intra-group transactions, balances and unrealised gains on transactions between group companies are eliminated on consolidation. |
Turnover |
Turnover is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, excluding discounts, rebates, value added tax and other sales taxes. |
Goodwill |
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. |
Tangible fixed assets |
Freehold property | - |
Plant and machinery | - |
Fixtures and fittings | - |
Motor vehicles | - |
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. |

For The Year Ended 30 September 2023 |
2. | ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued |
Stocks |
Stocks are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value, after making due allowance for obsolete and slow moving items. |
Financial instruments |
The group has chosen to adopt Sections 11 and 12 of FRS 102 in respect of financial instruments. |
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. |
At the end of each reporting period financial assets measured at amortised cost are assessed for objective evidence of impairment. If an asset is impaired the impairment loss is the difference between the carrying amount and the present value of the estimated cash flows discounted at the asset’s original effective interest rate. The impairment loss is recognised in profit or loss. |
Impairment of financial assets |
If there is a decrease in the impairment loss arising from an event occurring after the impairment was recognised, the impairment is reversed. The reversal is such that the current carrying amount does not exceed what the carrying amount would have been had the impairment not previously been recognised. The impairment reversal is recognised in profit or loss. |
Derecognition of financial assets |
Financial assets are derecognised when (a) the contractual rights to the cash flows from the asset expire or are settled; or (b) substantially all the risks and rewards of the ownership of the asset are transferred to another party; or (c) despite having retained some significant risks and rewards of ownership, control of the asset has been transferred to another party who has the practical ability to unilaterally sell the asset to an unrelated third party without imposing additional restrictions. |
Financial liabilities |
Basic financial liabilities, including trade and other payables, bank loans, loans from fellow group companies and preference shares that are classified as debt, 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 rate 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 or less. If not, they are presented as noncurrent liabilities. Trade payables are recognised initially at transaction price and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. |
Derecognition of financial liabilities |
Financial liabilities are derecognised when the liability is extinguished, that is when the contractual obligation is discharged, cancelled or expires. |
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. |

For The Year Ended 30 September 2023 |
2. | ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued |
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. |
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. |
3. | CRITICAL ACCOUNTING JUDGEMENTS AND KEY SOURCES OF ESTIMATION UNCERTAINTY |
In the application of the group's accounting policies, the director is required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amount of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates. |
Critical judgements |
The following judgements have had the most significant effect on amounts recognised in the financial statements. |
Impairment of investments |
Investments in subsidiaries are held as fixed assets and shown at cost less provision for impairment. On consolidation the carrying value of investments is eliminated. |
The carrying values of fixed asset investments are reviewed for impairment when an event or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value may not be fully recoverable. |
Impairment of goodwill |
Goodwill on acquisition of subsidiary undertakings are shown at cost less provision for impairment. |
The carrying values of goodwill are reviewed for impairment when an event occurs or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value may not be fully recoverable. |
