Strategic Report
For the year ended 31 December 2023
Page 1

The directors present the strategic report for the year ended 31 December 2023.

Fair review of the business

Remit Group (“Remit”) is a subsidiary of Remit Holdings Limited and is a national multi-sector training provider, providing structured apprenticeships and commercial training across the UK, funded by the Government through the Education and Skills Funding Agency (“ESFA”), Skills Development Scotland, the Welsh Assembly Government, the apprenticeship levy and from commercial programmes provided to Remit’s customers.

From its heritage in the motor industry, Remit has expanded into information technology, food retail, food manufacturing, hospitality, leadership and management, customer service and business administration although automotive training remains Remit's largest market sector. Remit works closely with large employers to design and deliver tailored training programmes, both Government funded and commercially funded, and ensuring employers are fully involved in the planning of learning and the reviewing of progress to meet their specific needs and work requirements.

Remit is passionate about involving employers in apprenticeship training and works closely with employers to design and deliver effective and innovative apprenticeship programmes which provide employers with a return on their investment. Remit also works closely with industry bodies including AELP (the Association of Employers and Learning Providers) to ensure training is relevant, effective and in line with government policy.

Principal risks and uncertainties

The Directors consider that the principal risks to the business relate to changes in Government policy in the use and level of Apprenticeships and their funding bands. Remit’s spread of clients from HGV manufacturers and food manufacturers to food retailers and IT businesses, helps to mitigate any overall revenue impact. Remit has further sought to mitigate any risk by expanding its commercial training revenues. Inflationary pressures and the continuing failure of many funding bands to keep pace with inflation to date, are key business issues, although funding for the Heavy Vehicle and Maintenance Technician standard has now been increased, albeit after the balance sheet date.

 

In determining the appropriate basis of preparation of the financial statements, the directors are required to consider whether the group and company can continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future, being a minimum period of 12 months from the date of approval of the financial statements.
The group and the company's activities are impacted largely as a result of the Government failing to keep apprenticeship funding in line with inflation, meaning the funding available has not reflected the higher operating costs being incurred by training providers. Management has considered the group and the company's financial performance since the balance sheet date, and the likely ongoing impact on revenues and profitability as a result of this. Management has prepared forecasts and cash flow projections up to 31 December 2025. Based on these, and post-year-end results, the directors are confident that the group and the Company will have sufficient resources to settle their liabilities as they fall due and to continue to operate for at least the next twelve months from the date these financial statements are approved. The financial statements have therefore been prepared on a going concern basis.
Financial risk management
The company's operations expose it to financial risks that include liquidity and cash flow risk which the directors monitor on a regular basis through cash flow modelling and forecasting.

Strategic Management

Led by Sue Pittock OBE, Chief Executive, the Remit management team has extensive experience in the education and training sector and continued to progress throughout 2023. New processes and academies continue to be introduced to the business, enhancing the performance of the business and the client and learner experience. The Remit business now has four automotive academies in England and Scotland and planning is well underway to open a fifth shortly to continue to meet customer demand.

The management team is well supported by the Remit board which includes Sarah Sillars OBE (former Chief Executive and Executive Chair of the IMI).

In 2023, Remit received a Grade 1 Outstanding inspection report from Ofsted, which is testament to the very high quality of Remit’s provision, its outstanding programmes and excellent management. This Outstanding grade means that Remit is in the top 1% of training providers in the country and management consider that it provides an excellent platform from which the business can grow its client base materially. Remit has also recently been awarded the Platinum standard by Investors in People, which is testament to Remit's people management, reward and culture.

 

Business Performance and Key performance indicators

In the financial year under review, Remit Group achieved consolidated sales of £16,081,441, 9% down on the previous year’s performance, largely due to Remit’s decision to focus only on Apprenticeships and Commercial Training and no other Government funded programs. However, it is pleasing to report that the group achieved a profit before taxation of £256,236, a 34% increase on the previous year.

 

After the balance sheet date, in March 2024, Remit Group Limited was awarded and received £987,000 as an exceptional payment from the Department of Education to invest in, sustain and expand capacity for training in the Heavy Vehicle and Maintenance Technician standard. Funding for that standard has also now increased.

 

The group has cash balances available of £982,965 for working capital management

 

Business Strategy

Remit has diversified over the years to provide training services in a number of different sectors including in particular automotive (heavy goods vehicle and light vehicle) digital, food retail, food manufacturing, hospitality, leadership and management, customer service and business administration.

 

The business strategy is to continue to grow organically in Remit’s current sectors and generate commercial income streams to run alongside existing Government income streams.

 

Remit’s commercial offering now includes Electric Vehicle, ADAS, Hydrogen, and Advanced Electrics training to name a few, delivered in either of Remit’s specialist training facilities in Derby and Scotland. Remit also has the capability to deliver across the country in clients' premises if they require this solution.

 

This commercial training division was established to meet significant sector demand where apprenticeships were not the required fit to upskill existing technicians. Remit works with some excellent employer brands, and since receiving its Ofsted Outstanding Grade, has continued to expand its reach with more major brands.

Directors' Report
For the year ended 31 December 2023
Page 3

The directors present their annual report and financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2023.

Principal activities

Remit Group is a national multi-sector training provider, offering structured apprenticeships and adult learning across the UK, predominantly funded by the Government through the Education and Skills Funding Agency (“ESFA”), Skills Development Scotland and the Welsh Assembly Government. Remit’s provision is targeted at learners in the 16-24 age group in addition to adult learners.

Remit Group Limited owns 100% of Assessed Education Limited, an End Point Assessment Organisation.

The financial statements have been consolidated to include this trading subsidiary.

Directors

The directors who held office during the year and up to the date of signature of the financial statements were as follows:

Rob Foulston
Susan Pittock
Sarah Sillars
Paul Thompson
Diane Herft
Results and dividends

The results for the year are set out on Page 10.

No ordinary dividends were paid. The directors do not recommend payment of a final dividend.

Disabled persons

Applications for employment by disabled persons are always fully considered, bearing in mind the aptitudes of the applicant concerned. In the event of members of staff becoming disabled, every effort is made to ensure that their employment within the group continues and that the appropriate training is arranged. It is the policy of the group that the training, career development and promotion of disabled persons should, as far as possible, be identical to that of other employees.

Employee involvement

The group's policy is to consult and discuss with employees, through staff groups and at meetings, matters likely to affect employees' interests.

 

Information about matters of concern to employees is given through information bulletins and reports which seek to achieve a common awareness on the part of all employees of the financial and economic factors affecting the group's performance.

 

There is no employee share scheme at present, but the directors are considering the introduction of such a scheme as a means of further encouraging the involvement of employees in the company's performance.

Future developments

In accordance with section 414C(11) of the Companies Act 2006 the information relating to future developments and financial risk management is included in the Strategic Report.

Directors' Responsibilities Statement
For the year ended 31 December 2023
Page 5

The directors are responsible for preparing the Strategic Report, Directors' Report 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 including Financial Reporting Standard 102, 'The Financial Reporting Standard Applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland' (FRS 102). 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 group and of the company and of the profit or loss of the group for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the directors are required to:

 

 

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 group and 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 group and of the company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

 

 

Remit Group Limited
Independent Auditor's Report
To the Members of Remit Group Limited
Page 6
Opinion

We have audited the financial statements of Remit Group Limited (the 'parent company') and its subsidiaries (the 'group') for the year ended 31 December 2023 which comprise the Consolidated Profit and Loss Account, the Consolidated Balance Sheet, the Company Balance Sheet, the Consolidated Statement of Changes in Equity, the Company Statement of Changes in Equity, the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows 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 FRS 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:

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 Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the group and parent 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 group or 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 directors with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report.

Other information

The other information comprises the information included in the annual report other than the financial statements and our auditor's report thereon. The directors are responsible for the other information contained within the annual report. 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.

 

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 course of 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 our audit:

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 their environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the Strategic Report or the Directors' Report.

 

We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the Companies Act 2006 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion:

 

Responsibilities of directors

As explained more fully in the Directors' Responsibilities Statement, 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 is 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 group's and 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 directors either intend to liquidate the group or parent company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.

Remit Group Limited
Independent Auditor's Report (Continued)
To the Members of Remit Group Limited
Page 8
Auditor's 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 an auditor’s report 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.

 

As part of an audit in accordance with ISAs (UK) we exercise professional judgement and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also:

 

We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.

Independent Auditor's Report (Continued)

Explanation as to what extent the audit was considered capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud

Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design procedures in line with our responsibilities, outlined above, to detect material misstatements in respect of irregularities, including fraud. The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud, is detailed below.

The objectives of our audit in respect of fraud, are; to identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements due to fraud; to obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the assessed risks of material misstatement due to fraud, through designing and implementing appropriate responses to those assessed risks; and to respond appropriately to instances of fraud or suspected fraud identified during the audit. However, the primary responsibility for the prevention and detection of fraud rests with both management and those charged with governance of the group and parent company.

Our approach was as follows:

 

There are inherent limitations in the audit procedures described above. We are less likely to become aware of instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations that are not closely related to events and transactions reflected in the financial statements. 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 misrepresentations, or through collusion.

 

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 for no purpose other than to draw to the attention of the company’s members those matters we are required to include in an auditor's report addressed to them. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to any party other than the company and the company’s members as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

Accounting policies
Company information

Remit Group Limited (“the Company”) is a private company limited by shares which is domiciled and incorporated in England and Wales. The registered office is 4 Orchard Place, Nottingham Business Park, Nottingham, NG8 6PX.

1.1
Accounting convention

These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with FRS 102 “The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland” (“FRS 102”) and the requirements of the Companies Act 2006.

The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the company. Monetary amounts in these financial statements are rounded to the nearest £.

The group and individual financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost convention. The principal accounting policies adopted are set out below.

1.2
Exemptions for qualifying entities under FRS 102

FRS 102 allows a qualifying entity certain disclosure exemptions.

 

The company has taken advantage of the following exemptions:

 

(i) from preparing a statement of cash flows, on the basis that it is a qualifying entity and the consolidated statement of cash flows, included in these financial statements, includes the Company's cash flows;

 

(ii) from disclosing the parent company's key management personnel compensation as required by FRS102 paragraph 33.7.

1.3
Basis of consolidation

The consolidated financial statements incorporate those of Remit Group Limited and all of its subsidiaries (ie entities that the group controls through its power to govern the financial and operating policies so as to obtain economic benefits). Subsidiaries acquired during the year are consolidated using the purchase method. Subsidiary company results are incorporated from or up to the date that control passes. All financial statements are made up to 31 December 2023.

 

All intra-group transactions, balances and unrealised gains on transactions between group companies are eliminated on consolidation. Unrealised losses are also eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of an impairment of the asset transferred.

Going concern

In determining the appropriate basis of preparation of the financial statements, the directors are required to consider whether the group and  company can continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future, being a minimum period of 12 months from the date of approval of the financial statements.

 

The directors and management have considered the group and company’s financial performance since the balance sheet date and have prepared forecasts and cash flow projections up to 31 December 2025.

 

The directors are confident that the group and the company will have sufficient cash resources to continue to operate and meet their liabilities as they fall due for a period of at least 12 months from the date of approval of these financial statements and consequently the financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis.

Turnover is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable and represents amounts receivable for services provided in the normal course of business, net of discounts and VAT.

Training revenue is recognised at the point at which the training takes place and has been evidenced. Any amounts received in the current financial year that relate to the following year are treated as deferred income at the balance sheet date.

1.6
Intangible fixed assets - goodwill
Purchased goodwill is determined by comparing the amount paid on the acquisition of a business and the aggregate fair value of its separable net assets. It is capitalised and written off on a straight line basis over its estimated useful economic life of five years, subject to impairment reviews.
1.7
Intangible fixed assets

Intangible assets acquired separately from a business are recognised at cost less accumulated amortisation and accumulated impairment losses.

 

Staff costs relating to time spent developing new content including the instructional design required to deliver the apprenticeship training courses are recognised as intangible assets - course materials.

Amortisation is recognised so as to write off the cost of assets less their residual values over their useful lives on the following basis:

Course Materials
3 years straight line or over the period for which the content is expected to be used if shorter

Amortisation of course materials is charged to cost of sales in the Profit and Loss account.

1.8
Tangible fixed assets

Tangible fixed assets are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses.

Depreciation is provided at rates calculated to write off the cost less the estimated residual value of each asset over its expected useful life, as follows:

Short leasehold property
Over the term of the lease to the break date
Fixtures, fittings & equipment
3 to 7 years
Computer equipment
3 years

The gain or loss arising on the disposal of an asset is determined as the difference between the sale proceeds and the carrying value of the asset, and is recognised in the profit and loss account.

1.9
Fixed asset investments

Equity investments are measured at fair value through profit or loss, except for those equity investments that are not publicly traded and whose fair value cannot otherwise be measured reliably, which are recognised at cost less impairment until a reliable measure of fair value becomes available.

 

In the parent company financial statements, investments in subsidiaries, associates and jointly controlled entities are initially measured at cost and subsequently measured at cost less any accumulated impairment losses.

A subsidiary is an entity controlled by the group. Control is the power to govern the financial and operating policies of the entity so as to obtain benefits from its activities.

1.10
Impairment of fixed assets

At each reporting period end date, the group reviews the carrying amounts of its tangible and intangible assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss (if any). Where it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, the company estimates the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs.

 

The carrying amount of the investments accounted for using the equity method is tested for impairment as a single asset. Any goodwill included in the carrying amount of the investment is not tested separately for impairment.

Intangible assets with indefinite useful lives and intangible assets not yet available for use are tested for impairment annually, and whenever there is an indication that the asset may be impaired.

Page 19

The recoverable amount is the higher of fair value of the asset less costs to sell and value in use. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset for which the estimates of future cash flows have not been adjusted.

 

If the recoverable amount of an asset (or cash-generating unit) is estimated to be less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of the asset (or cash-generating unit) is reduced to its recoverable amount. An impairment loss is recognised immediately in profit or loss, unless the relevant asset is carried at a revalued amount, in which case the impairment loss is treated as a revaluation decrease.

Recognised impairment losses are reversed if, and only if, the reasons for the impairment loss have ceased to apply. Where an impairment loss subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of the asset (or cash-generating unit) is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, but so that the increased carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognised for the asset (or cash-generating unit) in prior years. A reversal of an impairment loss is recognised immediately in profit or loss, unless the relevant asset is carried at a revalued amount, in which case the reversal of the impairment loss is treated as a revaluation increase.

1.11
Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include cash in hand, deposits held at call with banks, other short-term liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less, and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are shown within borrowings in current liabilities.

1.12
Financial instruments

Basic financial instruments are measured at amortised cost. The group and company have no other financial instruments or basic financial instruments measured at fair value.

1.13
Equity instruments

Equity instruments issued by the company are recorded at the proceeds received, net of direct issue costs. Dividends payable on equity instruments are recognised as liabilities once they are no longer at the discretion of the company.

1.14
Taxation

The tax expense represents the sum of the tax currently payable and deferred tax.

Current tax

The tax currently payable is based on taxable profit for the year. Taxable profit differs from net profit as reported in the profit and loss account because it excludes items of income or expense that are taxable or deductible in other years and it further excludes items that are never taxable or deductible. The group’s liability for current tax is calculated using tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting end date.

Page 20
Deferred tax

Deferred tax liabilities are generally recognised for all timing differences and deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that they will be recovered against the reversal of deferred tax liabilities or other future taxable profits. Such assets and liabilities are not recognised if the timing difference arises from goodwill or from the initial recognition of other assets and liabilities in a transaction that affects neither the tax profit nor the accounting profit.

 

The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at each reporting end date and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profits will be available to allow all or part of the asset to be recovered. Deferred tax is calculated at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the period when the liability is settled or the asset is realised. Deferred tax is charged or credited in the profit and loss account, except when it relates to items charged or credited directly to equity, in which case the deferred tax is also dealt with in equity. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when the group and company have a legally enforceable right to offset current tax assets and liabilities and the deferred tax assets and liabilities relate to taxes levied by the same tax authority.

1.15
Employee benefits

The costs of short-term employee benefits are recognised as a liability and an expense.

 

The cost of any unused holiday entitlement is recognised in the period in which the employee’s services are received.

 

Termination benefits are recognised immediately as an expense when the group and company are demonstrably committed to terminate the employment of an employee or to provide termination benefits.

1.16
Retirement benefits

The group operates a defined contribution plan for its employees. A defined contribution plan is a pension plan under which the group pays fixed contributions into a separate entity. The assets of the plan are held separately from the group in independently administered funds.

Payments to defined contribution retirement benefit schemes are charged as an expense as they fall due.

1.17
Leases

Leases are classified as finance leases whenever the terms of the lease transfer substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership to the lessees. All other leases are classified as operating leases.

 

Assets held under finance leases are recognised as assets at the lower of the assets fair value at the date of inception and the present value of the minimum lease payments. The related liability is included in the balance sheet as a finance lease obligation. Lease payments are treated as consisting of capital and interest elements. The interest is charged to profit or loss so as to produce a constant periodic rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability.

Rentals payable under operating leases, including any lease incentives received, are charged to profit or loss on a straight line basis over the term of the relevant lease except where another more systematic basis is more representative of the time pattern in which economic benefits from the leased asset are consumed.

Judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty

In the application of the group’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 where the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods where the revision affects both current and future periods.

Key accounting estimates and assumptions

The estimates and assumptions which have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amount assets and liabilities are as follows:

Intangible assets- capitalisation and amortisation of course material

The group employs staff to develop new course content including the instructional design required to deliver apprenticeship training courses. The cost of time spent by these employees, based on time records maintained, is recognised as an intangible asset described as course materials.

The total amount capitalised in the year was £487,176 as shown in note 10.

The course material is amortised over the shorter of the time that the content is expected to remain relevant and used in course delivery without significant enhancement or three years. The amortisation in the year was £342,956 as shown in Note 10.
