STRATEGIC REPORT |
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2023 |
The directors present their strategic report for the year ended 31 December 2023. |
REVIEW OF BUSINESS |
The results for the year and financial position of G.D.Woodworking Limited ("the Company") are shown in the annexed financial statements. |
The Company is a privately owned staircase manufacturer. The strategy of the Company is to produce high quality products whilst maintaining strong customer relationships with effectively managed employees. |
CURRENT BUSINESS & PERFORMANCE REVIEW |
Despite the in-year high and varying levels of inflation and global political unrest, the Company have navigated the macro-environmental challenges faced to a strong performance in the year. Strong and proactive leadership from the management team has enabled this to occur with a daily, hands on approach central to their successes. |
The trading environment continues to look demanding with the new-build housing sector continuing to throw it's challenges however the directors believe the Company is appropriately poised to turn these challenges in opportunities for further growth, as it has done in recent years to great success. |
The Company has invested in capital equipment in recent years and has continued to do so in the current period which has reduced bottlenecks, delivering increased production and ultimately growth. The directors believe that the investment will continue to deliver growth in future years to which the benefits will be delivered in terms of efficiency, turnover and profitability. |
FINANCIAL KEY PERFORMANCE INDICATORS |
2023 | 2022 |
Turnover | £16,210,619 | £15,424,835 |
Gross Profit | £6,972,948 | £5,648,796 |
Gross Profit Margin | 43.01% | 36.62% |
Net Profit Before Tax | £3,231,904 | £2,739,231 |
Net Current Assets | £4,577,482 | £3,835,252 |
Net Assets | £9,884,783 | £8,297,094 |
2022 - 2023 was a relatively strong year for the Company given the challenges faced in the UK economy. Turnover increased from £15.4m to £16.2m as a result of inflationary price increases s a result of increased supplier and local costs incurred. Heavy investment in new machinery in the prior and current year has enabled the Company to operate at a greater efficiency with reduced overheads and product wastage. This has resulted in an increased gross profit margin of 43.20% compared to 36.62% in the prior period. |
Whilst the Report of the directors and Financial Statements are focused on the financial results from 2023, the company's directors are mindful of the impacts of the macroeconomic conditions on the short to medium term resilience of the company. Due to the uncertainty caused by the macroeconomic landscape, the directors have looked at the resilience of the company to stay in business over the next 12 months. Three key measures have been looked at to determine if that position is reasonable, namely, income, expenditure, and cash flow. Based on a forecast of the likely activity in each of these areas the directors are satisfied that this position remains appropriate. |
Based on the forecasted income and expenditure cash flow remains at a level above which is required to meet the debts of the company as they fall due. |

STRATEGIC REPORT |
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2023 |
PRINCIPAL RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES |
The Board regularly considers the main risks that the Company faces and how to mitigate them. The most significant risks are as follows: |
Business Risk |
- that the Company strategy and business model does not deliver positive results; |
- that unforeseen or unexpected events beyond the control of the Company result in a significant worsening of market conditions; |
- that rationalisation in the Company's traditional business sectors occurs at a rate where the Company cannot react to the changing environment quickly enough. |
Credit Risk |
The Company monitors outstanding balances on a monthly basis to identify potential problems and liaises with its customers. If this does not resolve the problem debt collection proceedings are initiation in order to minimise risk. |
EMPLOYEE MATTERS |
The Company continues to supplement staff competencies in key technical areas through internal skills development and training. The Company remains an equal opportunities employer and implements rigorous health and safety management processes. |
ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS |
The Company is committed to minimising the impact of its activities on the environment and to continually improve its environmental performance. |

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 or she ought to have taken as a director in order to make himself or herself aware of any relevant audit information and to establish that the company's auditors are aware of that information. |

REPORT OF THE DIRECTORS |
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2023 |
AUDITORS |
The auditors, Xeinadin Audit Limited, 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 |
G.D. WOODWORKING LIMITED |
Opinion |
We have audited the financial statements of G.D. Woodworking Limited (the 'company') for the year ended 31 December 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 31 December 2023 and of its 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 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 |
G.D. WOODWORKING 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 four, 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 |
G.D. WOODWORKING 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: |
Based on our understanding of the company, we identified that the principal risks of non-compliance with laws and regulations related to construction, building and corporation tax legislation and we considered the extent to which non-compliance might have a material effect on the financial statements. As part of this assessment we considered both quantitative and qualitative factors. We also considered those laws and regulations that have a direct impact on the preparation on the financial statements, such as the Companies Act 2006 and FRS 102. |
We evaluated management's incentives and opportunities for fraudulent manipulation of the financial statements which included the risk of management override of controls. We determined that the principal risks were related to posting inappropriate journal entries, omitting, advancing or delaying recognition of events and transactions that have occurred during or after the reporting period, and potential management bias in the determination of accounting estimates or judgements to manipulate results. |
Audit procures performed by the engagement team include: |
- Enquiring of and obtaining written representation from management in relation to known or suspected instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations and fraud; |
- Enquiring of entity staff in tax and compliance functions to identify any instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations; |
- Evaluation of management's controls designed to prevent and detect irregularities; |
- Identifying and, where relevant, testing journal entries posted by senior management or with unusual combinations; |
- Assessing and evaluating the business rationale of significant transactions outside the normal course of business; |
- Reviewing financial statement disclosures and testing to supporting documentation to assess compliance with applicable laws and regulations; |
- Review of correspondence with regulators in so far as they are related to the financial statements; |
- Incorporating elements of unpredictability into the nature, timing and/or extent of audit procedures performed. |
There are inherent limitations in the audit procedures described above and the further removed non-compliance with laws and regulations is from the events and transactions reflected in the financial statements, the less likely we would become aware of it. Also, the risk of not detecting a material misstatement due to fraud is higher than the risk of not detecting one resulting from error, as fraud may involve deliberate concealment by, for example, forgery or intentional misrepresentation, or through collusion. |
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. |

G.D. Woodworking Limited is a |
2. | ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
Basis of preparing the financial statements |
At the balance sheet date of 31 December 2023, the Company made a profit for the year after tax of £2,457,759 (2022: £2,144,412) and had net assets at that date of £9,884,783 (2022: £8,297,024) and the directors are expecting further growth to be achieved over the next 12 months. |
The directors believe that the Company is well placed to manage its business risks successfully. Accordingly, they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the annual report and accounts. |
Critical accounting judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty |
In the application of the company's accounting policies, the directors are 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. |
The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised, if the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods. |
There are no estimates and assumptions which have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amount of assets and liabilities. |
Key sources of estimation uncertainty |
The estimates and assumptions which have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amount of assets and liabilities are as follows. |
Useful economic life of fixed assets |
Tangible fixed assets are depreciated over their useful lives taking in to account residual values, where appropriate. The actual lives of the assets and residual values are assessed annually and may vary depending on a number of factors; technological innovation, product life cycles and maintenance programmes are taken in to account. Residual value assessments consider issues such as future market conditions, the remaining life of the assets and the projected disposal values. |
Stock valuation |
The company converts raw materials to finished goods. Stock values include any costs such as labour and overheads attributable to generating finished goods, as management believe this is the most suitable costing method to take into account the matching concept of accounting. The Company uses the FIFO method to determine stock valuation. |
Bad debt provision |
Outstanding trade debtor balances are reviewed on a line by line basis by management to identify possible amounts where a provision is required. Management closely manage the collection of trade debtors and therefore are able to identify balances where there is uncertainty about its recoverability, and determine what provision is required (if any). |

2. | ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued |
Turnover |
Turnover represents invoiced product sales after turnover rebates, excluding value added tax and is recognised having been delivered. Installation of the product is left with the responsibility of the customer and therefore contract revenue and work in progress accruals are not applied nor relevant to the company's financial statements. Turnover rebates are recognised according to customer contracts. |
Tangible fixed assets |
Freehold property | - |
Plant and machinery | - |
Fixtures and fittings | - |
Motor vehicles | - |
Tangible fixed assets are initially measured at cost and subsequently measured at cost or valuation, net of depreciation and any impairment losses. |
Stocks |
Stocks are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value, after making due allowance for obsolete and slow moving items. |
Stocks are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value, after making due allowance for obsolete and slow moving items. |
Closing stock is made up of raw materials and finished goods. Finished goods are raw materials with an absorption of overheads. The final product is usually custom, specific to customer requirements. Once orders are released, the finished product is usually made and despatched on the same day which helps keep finished goods held on site to a minimum. |
Financial instruments |
The company 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 instruments are recognised in the company's balance sheet when the company becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. |
Financial assets and liabilities are offset, with the net amounts presented in the financial statements, when there is a legally enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously. |
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. |

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 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. |
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. |
Government grants |
Grant income relating to revenue is recognised on an accruals basis. Income is recognised on a systematic basis over the periods in which the entity recognises the related costs for which the grant is intended to compensate. A grant becomes receivable as compensation for expenses or losses already incurred or for the purpose of giving immediate financial support with no future related costs is recognised in income in the period in which it becomes receivable. |
