STRATEGIC REPORT |
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2023 |
The directors present their strategic report for the year ended 31 December 2023. |
SECTION 1: BUSINESS REVIEW |
1.1 Activities |
The company has maintained its primary business focus on the design, marketing, sales, survey, manufacturing, and installation of bespoke secondary glazing products. Serving a diverse clientele across the UK, our commitment to customer satisfaction remains pivotal to our operational success. |
1.2 Objectives |
Our strategic objective is to bolster the sales of our core product range within key markets. We aim to enhance our market presence through intensified marketing initiatives, particularly targeting the Retro First market by emphasizing the advantages of secondary glazing. Concurrently, we are dedicated to elevating customer service standards and operational productivity, with a comprehensive upgrade of our IT infrastructure. |
Section 2: Financial Performance |
2.1 Revenue and Profitability |
Despite challenging trading conditions and labour constraints impacting our customers progress, we achieved a turnover growth of 6.6%, amounting to £9,401,331. Our gross margin remained robust at 56.5%, and through diligent cost management, we realized a pre-tax profit of £1,457,778. |
2.2 Financial Commitments |
All deferred payments by Selectaglaze EOT Limited to the vendors of Selectaglaze Holdings Limited's equity, necessitated by the transition to an employee-owned trust structure, have been honoured within this fiscal year. We anticipate fulfilling the residual financial obligations within the scheduled timescale. |
Section 3: Customer and Employee Engagement |
3.1 Customer Satisfaction |
Customer feedback, gauged through surveys, yielded an impressive satisfaction score of 4.7 out of 5.0, mirroring last year's high ratings. The company enjoys substantial customer retention, with a significant percentage of enquiries originating from repeat business. |
3.2 Employee Welfare |
The company's governance and ownership framework remains unaltered, with 85% of shares vested in an employee trust. This year, we distributed £274,229 as profit share to our employees. Our commitment to fair compensation is reflected in our adherence to the real living wage and our participation in the 5% club, with 10% of our workforce engaged in 'earn and learn' roles. |
Section 4: Environmental Stewardship |
4.1 Sustainability Achievements |
We proudly continue our affiliation with the Planet Mark Certification, having further reduced our carbon footprint again in 2023, a 41% reduction compared to the 2019 baseline. This year marked the transition of our car fleet to electric vehicles (10 full EV 4 PHEV), with plans to intensify our scope 3 carbon measurement in 2024. |
Section 5: Year-End Position |
5.1 Operational Capacity |
The year concluded with a notable increase in work-in-hand, from £5.49M to £7.4M, reflecting a surge in Q4 orders and project delays. Our solid financial footing is evidenced by a cash and short-term deposit reserve of £5,041,400, positioning us favourably for future endeavours. |
5.2 Research and Development |
Investment in R&D remains a cornerstone of our strategy, as we continue to refine and diversify our product offerings. These investments are not only crucial for our growth but also align with the rising demand for sustainable and energy-efficient retrofit solutions in the construction sector. |

DIRECTORS |
The directors shown below have held office during the whole of the period from 1 January 2023 to the date of this report. |
FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS |
The company's financial risk management objectives are: |
- To ensure sufficient working capital exists for the company's purposes. |
- To minimise the amount of any borrowings. |
The company's financial instruments comprise bank balances, trade debtors and creditors, as a result there is exposure to credit, liquidity and cash flow risks and these are being managed as follows: |
Credit risk |
- The company grants credit to customers and the balances outstanding are regularly monitored to ensure that company's payment terms are adhered to thereby minimising the credit, liquidity and cash flow risk. |
Liquidity risk and cash flow risk |
- The company aims to mitigate these risks by monitoring cash collection targets and monitoring the bank balances on a regular basis. |
DIRECTORS' INDEMNITY INSURANCE |
During the year ended 31 December 2023 the company maintained third party indemnity provision against liabilities incurred by the directors to a person other than the company or an associated company. |
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. |
SELECTAGLAZE LIMITED (REGISTERED NUMBER: 00879879) |
REPORT OF THE DIRECTORS |
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2023 |
STATEMENT AS TO DISCLOSURE OF INFORMATION TO AUDITORS |
So far as the directors are aware, there is no relevant audit information (as defined by Section 418 of the Companies Act 2006) of which the company's auditors are unaware, and each director has taken all the steps that he ought to have taken as a director in order to make himself aware of any relevant audit information and to establish that the company's auditors are aware of that information. |
ON BEHALF OF THE BOARD: |
REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE MEMBERS OF |
SELECTAGLAZE LIMITED |
Opinion |
We have audited the financial statements of Selectaglaze Limited (the 'company') for the year ended 31 December 2023 which comprise the Profit and Loss Account, 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 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 |
SELECTAGLAZE 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. |
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: |
Discussions with and enquiries of management and those charged with governance were held with a view to identifying those laws and regulations that could be expected to have a material impact on the financial statements. During the engagement team briefing, the outcomes of these discussions and enquiries were shared with the team, as well as consideration as to where and how fraud may occur in the entity. |
The following laws and regulations were identified as being of significance to the entity: |
i) Those laws and regulations considered to have a direct effect on the financial statements include UK financial |
reporting standards, Company Law, Tax and Pensions legislation, and distributable profits legislation. |
ii) Those laws and regulations for which non-compliance may be fundamental to the operating aspects of the business and therefore may have a material effect on the financial statements include operating licence, environmental regulations, health and safety legislation. |
Audit procedures undertaken in response to the potential risks relating to irregularities (which include fraud and |
non-compliance with laws and regulations) comprised of: inquiries of management and those charged with governance as to whether the entity complies with such laws and regulations; enquiries with the same concerning any actual or potential litigation or claims; inspection of relevant legal correspondence; review of board minutes; testing the appropriateness of journal entries; and the performance of analytical review to identify unexpected movements in account balances which may be indicative of fraud. |
No instances of material non-compliance were identified. However, the likelihood of detecting irregularities, including fraud, is limited by the inherent difficulty in detecting irregularities, the effectiveness of the entity’s controls, and the nature, timing and extent of the audit procedures performed. Irregularities that result from fraud might be inherently more difficult to detect than irregularities that result from error. As explained above, there is an unavoidable risk that material misstatements may not be detected, even though the audit has been planned and performed in accordance with ISAs (UK). |
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. |

Selectaglaze Limited is a |
2. | STATEMENT OF COMPLIANCE |
3. | ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
Basis of preparing the financial statements |
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention. |
The preparation of financial statements in compliance with FRS 102 requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise judgement in applying the Company's accounting policies. |
The principal accounting policies applied in the preparation of these financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all the years presented, unless otherwise stated. |
Going concern |
The company meets its day-to-day working capital requirements through careful management of working capital positions. The company's forecasts and projections, taking account of reasonably possible changes in trading performance, show that the company should be able to operate without any third party support. After making enquiries, the directors have a reasonable expectation that the company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. The company therefore continues to adopt the going concern basis in preparing its financial statements. |
Financial Reporting Standard 102 - reduced disclosure exemptions |
The company has taken advantage of the following disclosure exemptions in preparing these financial statements, as permitted by FRS 102 "The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland": |
• | the requirements of Section 7 Statement of Cash Flows; |
• | the requirement of paragraph 3.17(d); |
• | the requirements of paragraphs 11.42, 11.44, 11.45, 11.47, 11.48(a)(iii), 11.48(a)(iv), 11.48(b) and 11.48(c); |
• | the requirements of paragraphs 12.26, 12.27, 12.29(a), 12.29(b) and 12.29A; |
• | the requirement of paragraph 33.7. |

Significant judgements and estimates |
Estimates and judgements are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. |
i) Critical judgement in applying the entity's accounting policies |
(a) Revenue recognition and valuation of completed glazing units |
At the year end the company reviews its ongoing contracts and recognises a portion of the total contract value in its turnover. This is based on the proportion of the number of glazing units produced but not installed minus the estimated turnover receivable for installation. The directors believe this is a reasonably accurate method for measuring turnover and for valuing completed glazing units for contracts ongoing at the year end. |
ii) Critical accounting estimates and assumptions |
The company makes estimates and assumptions concerning the future. The resulting accounting estimates will, by definition, seldom equal the related actual results. The estimates and assumptions that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year are addressed below. |
(a) Useful economic lives of tangible assets |
The annual depreciation charge for tangible assets is sensitive to changes in the estimated useful economic lives and residual values of the assets. The useful economic lives and residual values are re-assessed annually. They are amended when necessary to reflect current estimates, based on technological advancement, future investments, economic utilisation and the physical condition of the assets. |
(b) Impairment of debtors |
The company makes an estimate of the recoverable value of trade and other debtors. When assessing impairment of trade and other debtors, management considers factors including the current credit rating of the debtor, the ageing profile of debtors and historical experience. |
(c) Taxation |
The company establishes provisions based on reasonable estimates, which are subject to audits by the tax authorities. |
Turnover |
Turnover is derived from contracts to supply and install secondary window systems in the United Kingdom, net of VAT and trade discounts. |
If the ultimate profitability of a contract can be assessed with reasonable certainty after having made prudent allowance for future risks and uncertainties, then turnover is recognised in proportion to the contract work completed. Immediate provision is made for foreseeable losses. |
For glazing units completed but not installed at the year end, turnover is recognised based on the overall contract value allocated to each glazing unit in proportion to its cost, less turnover related to its installation. Amounts receivable are recognised in "Amounts receivable on contracts" within debtors. |
For glazing units installed but not invoiced at the year end, turnover is accrued for and included in "Prepayments and accrued income" within debtors. |

Tangible fixed assets |
Plant and machinery | - |
Fixtures and fittings | - |
Motor vehicles | - |
Computer equipment | - |
Tangible assets are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses. Cost includes the original purchase price, costs directly attributable to bringing the asset to its working condition for its intended use, dismantling and restoration costs. |
The carrying values of tangible fixed assets are reviewed for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value may not be recoverable. |
Depreciation is charged to administrative expenses in the profit and loss account. |
The assets' residual values, useful lives and depreciation methods are reviewed, and adjusted prospectively if appropriate, or if there is an indication of a significant change since the last reporting date. |
Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing the proceeds with the carrying amount and are recognised within the profit and loss account. |
Stocks |
Stocks comprise raw materials which are valued at the lower of cost and selling price less selling costs. Cost is determined on a first-in, first-out basis. Selling price is determined by proportionately allocating the selling price of a final glazing unit to its raw material components. |
Current tax |
Taxation expense for the period comprises current tax recognised in the reporting period. Tax is recognised in the profit and loss account, except to the extent that it relates to items recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity. In this case, tax is also recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity respectively. |
Current tax is the amount of corporation tax payable in respect of the taxable profit for the year or prior years. Tax is calculated on the basis of tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the period end. |
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. |

Operating leases |
Payments under operating leases are charged to the profit and loss account on a straight line basis over the period of the lease. |
Cash and cash equivalents |
Cash and cash equivalents includes cash in hand, deposits held at call with banks, and other short-term highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less. |
Current asset investments |
Current asset investments include short-term deposits held with banks with original maturities of more than three months but not more than twelve months. |
Employee benefits |
The company provides a range of benefits to its directors and eligible employees as explained below: |
(i) Short term benefits |
Short term benefits, including holiday pay and other similar non-monetary benefits, are recognised as an expense in the period in which the service is received. |
(ii) Defined contribution pension plans |
The company makes contributions to the personal pension plans of its directors and employees. Once the contributions have been paid, the company has no further payment obligations. The contributions are recognised as an expense when they are due. Amounts not paid are shown in accruals in the balance sheet. The assets of the plans are held separately from the company in independently administered funds. |
Financial instruments |
The Company only enters into basic financial instruments transactions that result in the recognition of financial assets and liabilities like trade and other debtors and creditors, loans from banks and other third parties, loans to related parties and investments in non-puttable ordinary shares. |
Financial assets that are measured at cost and amortised cost are assessed at the end of each reporting period for objective evidence of impairment. If objective evidence of impairment is found, an impairment loss is recognised in profit or loss. |
Financial assets and liabilities are offset and the net amount reported in the Balance Sheet when there is an 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. |
Government grants |
During the Coronavirus pandemic, the company utilised the government support scheme Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme (CJRS). Income under this scheme is classified as a government grant and accounted for on an accruals basis, and recognised in the profit and loss account in the period in which the associated costs for which grants are intended to compensate are incurred. The grant income is reported as "Other operating income" in the profit and loss account. |
Dividends |
Equity dividends are recognised when they become legally payable. Interim equity dividends are recognised when paid. Final equity dividends are recognised when approved by the shareholders at an annual general meeting. |
Finance costs |
Finance costs, which include interest and bank charges, are recognised in the profit and loss account in the period in which they are incurred. |
Share capital |
Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new ordinary shares or options are shown in equity as deduction, net of tax, from the proceeds. |

Employee ownership trust |
Selectaglaze EOT Limited holds the majority of shares in Selectaglaze Limited's parent company Selectaglaze Holdings Limited on trust for the Selectaglaze Employee Ownership Trust. The Selectaglaze Employee Ownership Trust holds the shares in Selectaglaze Holdings Limited for the benefit of all employees of Selectaglaze Holdings Limited and its group undertakings. The trust was set up in 2022 in accordance with the requirements of Section 37 to the Finance Act 2014 as an "Employee Ownership Trust" (EOT) and consequently is not required to be consolidated in the financial statements of Selectaglaze Holdings Limited or Selectaglaze Limited. |
The former owners of Selectaglaze Holdings Limited sold the majority of their shares to the EOT, and the EOT is required to pay the consideration to the former owners in accordance with an agreed payment timetable. As the sponsoring company for the EOT, Selectaglaze Holdings Limited has a responsibility to settle the EOT's liability to former owners to the extent that it has the reserves available, and to include the EOT's operating costs in its profit and loss account. Since Selectaglaze Limited is the only trading entity in the group, it includes the EOT's operating costs in its profit and loss account, and the payments it makes to the former shareholders on behalf of the EOT are classified as distributions to Selectaglaze Holding Limited in the Statement of Changes in Equity. Selectaglaze Holdings Limited recognises the distribution received from Selectaglaze Limited in its profit and loss account and contributions paid to the EOT in its Statement of Changes in Equity. |
Comparatives |
The comparatives have been amended to show contributions paid to the EOT of £1,477,500 as distributions in the statement of changes in equity. This has no effect on the company's profit and loss account nor its balance sheet. |
