STRATEGIC REPORT |
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024 |
The directors present their strategic report for the year ended 31 March 2024. |
REVIEW OF BUSINESS AND DEVELOPMENTS DURING THE YEAR |
Precision is a unique provider of Business Services and eCommerce Services, distinguished by our sustainable supply model. Our ability to react quickly to client needs has resulted in Precision being integrated with the operations of clients ranging from multinationals and government bodies to SMEs. Precision's services manifest a wide range of solutions that bridge digital and physical, interlinking with the businesses within the holding company. |
Sustainability |
Precision has been committed to sustainability since 2015, when it began investing in technology to reduce its carbon footprint. Precision is now an ISO 14001-accredited carbon neutral (for scope 1 and scope 2 emissions) business operating from three sites; two in Bury St Edmunds, Suffolk and one in Watton, Norfolk. Sustainability and carbon reduction are knitted into the fabric of the business. We generate power through our 199kw rooftop solar PV and reduce the use of power through LED lighting, halogen heating and heat-management systems. 2021 saw us remove fossil fuel vehicles from our car fleet, we have adopted a 100% BEV or PHEV vehicle policy. Charging is provided by on site chargers powered by renewable energy. |
Our Bury St Edmunds operation became zero emission in 2024 through the installation of Air Source Heat Pump systems - removing all fossil fuel heating. Our energy supply is already 100% renewable, 40% being through our rooftop solar. |
Financials |
The directors are satisfied with the results for a year in which 80% of revenue was generated from clients who repeated work on a monthly basis. Precision's Technology team developed new products and services, with R&D ensuring that our solutions and technological advancements met the needs of current and new customers. We successfully created new income streams, attracted new clients and saw increased usage of our solutions by existing clients, all of which contributed to a 45% increase in operating profit. Net asset value is now over £8.3m, and the company is debt free, positioning us well against rising interest rates in the economy. |
Precision has limited exposure to specific market sectors, with revenues from Utilities, Property, Professional Bodies and Healthcare sectors being less affected by economic fluctuations. Many of our customers have partnered with Precision since our incorporation in 2005. Precision is recognised for its environmentally conscious production and strong community relationships, which align with the ESG needs of our clients and suppliers. |
Precision Marketing Group Limited is a wholly owned subsidiary of Precision Marketing Group Holdings Limited, with the Group including Precision Creative and Media Limited and Precision Pharmacy Limited.The Directors and Executive team, and our superb and stable work force combined contributed to the excellent results of FY24, a trend that has continued into the first half of FY25. |
Therefore the directors are satisfied that the company has a strong financial and strategic position. |

STRATEGIC REPORT |
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024 |
PRINCIPAL RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES |
Precision operates within markets and sectors that have historically demonstrated resilience to broader economic fluctuations. However, the economic uncertainty such as persistent high inflation and elevated interest rates pose a risk to the company's operations and financial performance, as they may lead to shifts in client demand, affecting revenue streams. |
Employment and talent acquisition are important to the business growth. The ability to attract, develop, and retain skilled talent is essential to maintaining our competitive edge and ensuring the delivery of high-quality services. |
The growth of key accounts underscores the need to proactively attract new customers to minimise the risk of overreliance on top spending clients. Precision closely monitors client revenue levels and the broader economic factors that influence them. This proactive approach enables us to remain agile in the face of economic uncertainties, ensuring that we can adapt our operations as needed to protect the company's financial health. |
While Precision has successfully navigated similar challenges in the past, we acknowledge that these risks are ever-present. To safeguard our operations and financial performance, we are proactively growing new services and expanding our client base. The Group's strategic focus on its Data and Technology capabilities in omnichannel marketing and Ecommerce Services is to ensure sustained growth in the face of future uncertainties. |

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. |
PRECISION MARKETING GROUP LTD (REGISTERED NUMBER: 05322235) |
REPORT OF THE DIRECTORS |
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024 |
AUDITORS |
The auditors, Walter Wright, 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 |
PRECISION MARKETING GROUP LTD |
Opinion |
We have audited the financial statements of Precision Marketing Group Ltd (the 'company') for the year ended 31 March 2024 which comprise the Income Statement, Other Comprehensive Income, Balance Sheet, Statement of Changes in Equity and Notes to the Financial Statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards, including Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland' (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice). |
In our opinion the financial statements: |
- | give a true and fair view of the state of the company's affairs as at 31 March 2024 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 |
PRECISION MARKETING GROUP LTD |
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. |
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. |
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. The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below: |
Our procedures in relation to fraud included but were not limited to: |
- obtained an understanding of the nature of the sector, including the legal and regulatory framework that the company operates in. |
- enquiries of management whether they have knowledge of any actual, suspected or alleged fraud; |
- gaining an understanding of the internal controls established to mitigate risk related to fraud and management override. |
- discussion amongst the engagement team regarding risk of fraud such as opportunities for fraudulent manual journal entries to manipulate financial performance, management bias through judgements and assumptions in significant accounting estimates; and |
- addressing the risk of fraud through management override of controls by performing journal entry testing. |
- challenging accounting estimates to ensure no indication of management bias. |
The primary responsibility for the prevention and detection of irregularities including fraud rests with both those charged with governance and 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. |

Turnover |
Turnover represents the sales of goods and services, is recognised on dispatch of the goods or provision of the service and excludes value added tax. |
Goodwill |
Goodwill representing the amounts paid in connection with the acquisition of a number of businesses, is being amortised evenly over the estimated useful life of each business acquired. The estimated useful lives range from 3 to 18 years. |
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 | - |
Computer equipment | - |
Investments in subsidiaries |
Investments in subsidiary undertakings are recognised at cost less any provision for impairment. |
Stocks |
Stocks are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value, after making due allowance for obsolete and slow moving items. |
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. |

Research and development |
Expenditure on research and development is written off in the year in which it is incurred. |
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. |
Share-based payments |
The cost of equity-settled transactions with employees is measured by reference to the fair value at the date at which they are granted and is recognised as an expense over the vesting period. Fair value is determined using an appropriate pricing model. |
Going concern |
Long term finance requirements and the company's day to day working capital requirements are met through cash reserves. |
The directors have prepared projected cash flow information covering the next twelve months. On the basis of this cash flow information, the directors consider that the company will continue to operate within the facilities currently agreed and within those that they expect to be agreed over the twelve month period from the date of approval of the accounts. |
On this basis, the directors consider it appropriate to prepare the financial statements on a going concern basis. |
