Strategic Report |
For The Year Ended 31 March 2024 |
The directors present their strategic report for the year ended 31 March 2024. |
PRINCIPAL ACTIVITY AND OBJECTIVE |
The company's principal activities are the retailing of tyres, accessories, MOTs, servicing, repairs and maintenance for passenger vehicles as well as commercial tyre and related services for all trucks, buses, industrial and agricultural vehicles. |
The company believes customer service, as a means to maximise long-term customer retention is key. The company will continue to focus on staff development and investment in new technology and processes to help deliver these goals. The company will also continue to review its sell out structure and portfolio to drive margin increases. |
REVIEW OF BUSINESS |
The directors are pleased with the year's overall financial performance and are happy to report another increased operating profit, to a record level. The directors are also pleased with an increased and record gross profit margin figure that reflects pricing and stocking policy changes. We feel a record profit before tax figure (for a none property sales years), reflects our increased productivity. |
Many processes and operational changes have now taken hold in the business and are now driving improving financial results as these changes mature. This is in addition to some tough decisions made over the past few years to dispose of depots and staff that were not deemed necessary or worthwhile moving forwards. |
Further to this, many of the required investments to bring the business premises and assets up to scratch have now been made meaning the business is able to reduce these large investments moving forwards and look at smaller scale investment projects to put the finishing touches to certain depots and departments. |
KEY PERFORMANCE INDICATORS |
The company employs a number of KPIs to monitor performance across all business functions, these include financial performance indicators, retail sales activity, commercial customer service levels and staff productivity. The directors believe most of these are too industry specific to help understand this set of financial results. |
In the currently market, we feel that a push for efficiency of paramount importance, for this reason, a number of ROI or efficiency based KPIs are playing a more prominent role in our business. |
PRINCIPAL RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES |
The risks affecting the business are continually monitored and assessed by the directors to minimise their impact upon the company in both the day to day and long term. The principal risks and uncertainties affecting us at present are staff shortages, in areas, a shrinking or ageing employment pool and a lack of visibility of our industry. To combat this we are training staff using both internal and external resources to ensure we are able to fill our own vacancies. |
To minimise these we have developed a more robust and flexible pricing model that allows for us to pass on price increases more effectively. We also focus on staff retention as a way to minimise the disruption caused by a identifying and attracting new staff. We are also developing our purchasing methods and models to minimise the effect of supply chain issues. |
FUTURE DEVELOPMENTS |
This year there will be a new, mobile responsive website launched that we hope will drive increased sales. |
ON BEHALF OF THE BOARD: |
Dexel Tyre Company Limited (Registered number: 00683166) |

DIRECTORS |
The directors shown below have held office during the whole of the period from 1 April 2023 to the date of this report. |
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. |
AUDITORS |
Kingswood Allotts Limited will be proposed for re-appointment as auditors at the forthcoming Annual General Meeting. |
ON BEHALF OF THE BOARD: |
Report of the Independent Auditors to the Members of |
Dexel Tyre Company Limited |
Opinion |
We have audited the financial statements of Dexel Tyre Company Limited (the 'company') for the year ended 31 March 2024 which comprise the Statement of 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. |
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. |
Report of the Independent Auditors to the Members of |
Dexel Tyre Company Limited |
Responsibilities of directors |
As explained more fully in the Statement of Directors' Responsibilities set out on page three, 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: |
The engagement partner ensured that the engagement team collectively had the appropriate competence, capabilities and skills to identify or recognise non-compliance with applicable laws and regulations; |
- we identified the laws and regulations applicable to the company through discussions with directors and other management, and from our commercial knowledge and experience of the industry. |
- we focused on specific laws and regulations which we considered may have a direct material effect on the financial statements or the operations of the company, including the Companies Act 2006, taxation legislation and data protection, anti-bribery, employment, MOT scheme regulations from the DVSA and health and safety legislation; |
- we assessed the extent of compliance with the laws and regulations identified above through making enquiries of management and inspecting legal correspondence; and |
- identified laws and regulations were communicated within the audit team regularly and the team remained alert to instances of non-compliance throughout the audit. |
We assessed the susceptibility of the company's financial statements to material misstatement, including obtaining an understanding of how fraud might occur, by: |
- making enquiries of management as to where they considered there was susceptibility to fraud, their knowledge of actual, suspected and alleged fraud; and |
- considering the internal controls in place to mitigate risks of fraud and non-compliance with laws and regulations. |
To address the risk of fraud through management bias and override of controls, we: |
- performed analytical procedures to identify any unusual or unexpected relationships; |
- tested journal entries to identify unusual transactions; |
- assessed whether judgements and assumptions made in determining the accounting estimates were indicative of potential bias; and |
- investigated the rationale behind significant or unusual transactions. |
In response to the risk of irregularities and non-compliance with laws and regulations, we designed procedures which included, but were not limited to: |
- agreeing financial statement disclosures to underlying supporting documentation; |
- enquiring of management as to actual and potential litigation and claims; and |
- reviewing correspondence with HMRC, and relevant regulators including the Health and Safety Executive. |
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. |

Dexel Tyre Company Limited is a |
2. | ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
Basis of preparing the financial statements |
Financial Reporting Standard 102 - reduced disclosure exemptions |
The company has taken advantage of the following disclosure exemption 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. |
Preparation of consolidated financial statements |
The financial statements contain information about Dexel Tyre Company Limited as an individual company and do not contain consolidated financial information as the parent of a group. The company is exempt under Section 402 of the Companies Act 2006 from the requirements to prepare consolidated financial statements as its subsidiaries are immaterial and did not trade. |
Significant judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty |
In the process of applying the company's accounting policies, the directors are required to make certain estimates, judgements and assumptions that they believe are reasonable based upon the information available. These estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the periods presented. |
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. |
Actual results may differ from the estimates, the effect of which is recognised in the period in which the facts that give rise to the revision become known. |
The estimate and assumptions that have a significant risk of causing material adjustments to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year are as follows: |
Intangible assets |
The charge in respect of amortisation is derived after determining an estimate of the useful life. The estimate is based on a variety of factors such as expected use, the expected useful life of the cash generating unit or contractual provisions that can limit the useful life and assumptions tat market participants would consider in respect of similar businesses. |
Tangible assets |
The charge in respect of depreciation is derived after determining an estimate of an asset's expected useful life and the expected residual value at the end of its life. The useful lives and residual values of the group's assets may vary depending on several factors such as, technological innovation, maintenance programmes and future market conditions. They are determined by management at the time the asset is acquired and reviewed annually for appropriateness. |

2. | ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued |
Turnover |
Revenue is recognised to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the company and the revenue can be reliably measured. Revenue is measured as the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, excluding discounts, rebates, value added tax and other sales taxes. The following criteria must also be met before revenue is recognised: |
Sale of goods |
Revenue from the sale of goods is recognised when all of the following conditions are satisfied: |
- | the company has transferred the significant risks and rewards of ownership to the buyer; |
- | the company retains neither continuing managerial involvement to the degree usually associated with ownership nor effective control over the goods sold; |
- | the amount of revenue can be measured reliably; |
- | it is probable that the company will receive the consideration due under the transaction; and |
- | the costs incurred or to be incurred in respect of the transaction can be measured reliably. |
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 | - |
Motor vehicles | - |
Tangible assets are initially measured at cost. After initial recognition, plant and machinery and motor vehicles are measured at cost less any accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses. Freehold property is shown at fair value. Any movement in fair value of freehold property is shown in the profit and loss account with a transfer to or from the revaluation reserve. |
Stocks |
Stocks are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value, after making due allowance for obsolete and slow moving items. |
Financial instruments |
Trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount due after any trade discount offered and future interest. |
Creditors and provisions are recognised where the company has a present obligation resulting from a past event that will probably result in the transfer of funds to a third party and the amount due to settle the obligation can be measured or estimated reliably. Creditors and provisions are normally recognised at their settlement amount after allowing for any trade discounts due and future interest. |
Taxation |
Taxation for the year comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is recognised in the Statement of Comprehensive Income, 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. |
Dexel Tyre Company Limited (Registered number: 00683166) |
Notes to the Financial Statements - continued |
For The Year Ended 31 March 2024 |
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. |
Foreign currencies |
Assets and liabilities in foreign currencies are translated into sterling at the rates of exchange ruling at the balance sheet date. Transactions in foreign currencies are translated into sterling at the rate of exchange ruling at the date of transaction. Exchange differences are taken into account in arriving at the operating result. |
Hire purchase and leasing commitments |
Assets obtained under hire purchase contracts or finance leases are capitalised in the balance sheet. Those held under hire purchase contracts are depreciated over their estimated useful lives. Those held under finance leases are depreciated over their estimated useful lives or the lease term, whichever is the shorter. |
The interest element of these obligations is charged to profit or loss over the relevant period. The capital element of the future payments is treated as a liability. |
Pension costs and other post-retirement benefits |
The company operates a number of defined contribution pension schemes. The assets of these schemes are held separately from those of the company in independently administered funds. Contributions payable for the year are charged in the profit and loss account. |
3. | TURNOVER |
The turnover and profit before taxation are attributable to the principal activities of the company. |

The directors have taken advantage of the transitional provisions of FRS102 to revalue freehold and leasehold property on a one-off basis.The properties were valued at market value at the transition date of 31 March 2016 by WPA, Chartered Surveyors, of Paradise Square, Sheffield. |
The directors consider that freehold properties are maintained such that their residual value is at least equal to their net book value. As a result the corresponding depreciation on buildings would not be material and therefore is not charged in the profit and loss account. The refurbishments costs to properties are depreciated over a 10 year period, to reflect the the planned cycle of branch refurbishments, which is charged to the profit and loss. The directors perform annual impairment reviews in accordance with the requirements of FRS 102 to ensure that the carrying value is not lower than the recoverable amount. |
