Strategic Report |
for the Year Ended 31 December 2023 |
The directors present their strategic report for the year ended 31 December 2023. |
REVIEW OF BUSINESS |
The directors are pleased to report a 43% increase in turnover from £40,593,965 to £58,106,577, which resulted in a 29% increase in profit before tax from £1,542,035 to £1,992,460. This was largely due to a strong performance from the commercial vehicle dealerships whilst the rental fleet had continued high utilisation. |
The rental market was slightly more resilient during 2023 than had been expected, but a slowdown was more apparent towards the end of the year, which has continued into 2024. As the majority of the fleet is on long term contract hire this hasn't had a significant impact on the business. |
New vehicle sales growth continued in 2023, with turnover boosted by a shift in sales mix towards heavy trucks and the investment in CNG and LNG vehicles. Early delivery of new vehicles from the manufacturer and delays at bodybuilders resulted in higher vehicle stocks than planned at the year end. |
Aftersales showed steady growth during the year. The labour market, particularly within the HGV technician sector, remained difficult, but staff retention remains high. Labour cost and overhead inflation was significant in the period, which has resulted in the business passing on these costs to our customers in order to maintain margins. |
Key Performance Indicators |
The company's key performance indicators for the year were as follows: |
2023 2022 Change |
Turnover (£ s) £58,107 £40,593 43% |
Gross Profit (£ s) £6,532 £4,488 46% |
Gross Profit Margin % 11.2% 11.1% |
Operating Profit (£ s) £3,294 £2,026 63% |
Operating Profit Margin % 5.7% 5.0% |
PRINCIPAL RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES |
The key business risks and uncertainties that the company considers important relate to the loss of contracts and potential customer default, particularly in relation to vehicles held on the company's own balance sheet. |
The company works hard to maintain a close working relationship with its customers, so that the highest levels of service can be maintained. Contract prices, both for existing and potential customers, are reviewed on a regular basis to maintain competitiveness. |
Investments in tangible fixed assets are mainly financed through hire purchase and finance lease agreements, using both fixed and variable interest rates, which allows the management of interest rate risks whilst providing a flexible approach to fleet reduction without termination penalties, should the need arise. |
The directors apply a rigorous approach to fleet depreciation to ensure that as far as possible book values of vehicles and trailers match their expected residual values at the end of their expected useful lives. |
Constant monitoring of cash flow and business forecasts provides the information to ensure that sufficient liquidity is available to meet obligations as they fall due. |
SECTION 172(1) STATEMENT |
Positive relationships with the Company's stakeholders are key to the long-term success of the Company. During the year ended 31 December 2023, the Directors acted in a way they consider, would be most likely to promote the success of the company for the benefit of its key stakeholder groups as a whole, in accordance with s172(1)(a)-(f) of the Companies Act 2006. |

Strategic Report |
for the Year Ended 31 December 2023 |
ENGAGEMENT WITH EMPLOYEES |
Our people are key to our success and we want them to be successful individually and as a team. We have now recruited a head of Human Resources to further improve our communication with our employees. There are many ways we engage with and listen to our employees including regular appraisals and performance plans. Key areas of focus include health and safety, mental well-being, and development opportunities. Regular reports about what is important to our employees are made to the Directors ensuring consideration is given to employee needs. |
ENGAGEMENT WITH SUPPLIERS, CUSTOMERS AND OTHERS |
Suppliers |
We build strong relationships with our suppliers to develop mutually beneficial and lasting partnerships. Engagement with suppliers is primarily through a series of interactions and formal reviews. Key areas of focus include innovation, product development, health and safety, and sustainability. The Directors recognise that relationships with suppliers are important to the Company's long-term success and is briefed on supplier feedback and issues on a regular basis. |
Customers |
Our ambition is to deliver best-in-class service to our customers. We build strong and lasting relationships with our customers and spend considerable time with them to understand their needs and views and listen to how we can improve our service for them. We use this knowledge to inform our decision-making. |
Community and the Environment |
The safety of the general public on the roads, is always of paramount importance to the company. Our vehicle maintenance standards are maintained at consistently high levels to minimise the possibility of any incidents occurring. This also enables vehicles to be run at their most efficient thereby minimising emissions. The company consistently strives to reduce the environmental effects of it's customers leased vehicles. |
Shareholders |
As the owner of the Company, we rely on their support and their opinions are very important to us. We have an open dialogue with our shareholder through one-to-one meetings on a frequent basis. Discussions with our shareholder cover a wide range of topics including financial performance, strategy, outlook, governance and ethical practices. |

Report of the Directors |
for the Year Ended 31 December 2023 |
The directors present their report with the financial statements of the company for the year ended 31 December 2023. |
PRINCIPAL ACTIVITY |
The principal activity of the company in the year under review was that of the leasing of commercial vehicles and the operation of a commercial vehicle dealership. |
DIVIDENDS |
An interim dividend of £ |
The total distribution of dividends for the year ended 31 December 2023 will be £ |
FUTURE DEVELOPMENTS |
The company will continue to develop its local market to grow the dealership vehicle parc and in turn drive service and parts sales. |
Our expectation is that new vehicle stock will be widely available across all brand markets in 2024, with lead times for new orders reducing significantly. Manufacturer pricing policies, as well as effective stock management to limit the impact of stocking interest charges, wil be key factors impacting future vehicle sales volumes and margins. |
Our investment in bio-CNG and bio-LNG vehicles, positions us well in the market to be able to drive these sales through 2024 as fleets look to reduce emissions and decarbonise. |

Report of the Directors |
for the Year Ended 31 December 2023 |
DIRECTORS |
The directors shown below have held office during the whole of the period from 1 January 2023 to the date of this report. |

Greenhouse Gas Emissions and Energy Use Data |
2023 |
Total Energy Consumption - Used for Emissions Calculation (kWh) 1,489,299 |
Combustion of gaseous and other fuels (Scope 1) (tCO2e) 80 |
Combustion of fuel for transportation purposes (Scope 1) (tCO2e) 216 |

Total Gross Emissions 360 |
Turnover (£ s) 58,107 |
Intensity Ratio: Emissions (tCO2e) / Turnover (£m) 6.21 |
The company qualified as a large company for the first time this year, hence emissions data is not required for the previous year. |
In producing these figures we have followed the 2019 HM Government Environmental Reporting Guidelines. We have also used the 2023 UK Government'sConversion Factors for Company Reporting. |
Energy Efficiency Actions Taken |
Investment in the Iveco Natural Power product of CNG and LNG vehicles as an alternative to diesel powered vehicles. Each vehicle which runs on biomethane can save in the region of 120 tonnes of CO2 per annum. In 2024 we are forecasting to sell more bio-CNG heavy trucks than diesel units for the first time. |
Within our rental and own company fleet we now have electric cars and gas powered delivery vans. All of our truck rental fleet now comprises Euro 6 vehicles with a growing number of CNG units and highly efficient turbo compound variants procured. |
The adoption of video conferencing has reduced the number of journeys undertaken for business meetings. |

Report of the Directors |
for the Year Ended 31 December 2023 |
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), including Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland'. 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; |
- | state whether applicable accounting standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; |
- | 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 |
The auditors, Newby Castleman LLP, 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 |
Revival Solutions Group Ltd |
Opinion |
We have audited the financial statements of Revival Solutions Group Ltd (the 'company') for the year ended 31 December 2023 which comprise the Statement of Comprehensive Income, Balance Sheet, Statement of Changes in Equity, Cash Flow Statement and Notes to the Cash Flow Statement, Notes to the Financial Statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards, including Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland' (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice). |
In our opinion the financial statements: |
- | give a true and fair view of the state of the company's affairs as at 31 December 2023 and of its profit for the year then ended; |
- | have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice; and |
- | have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006. |
Basis for opinion |
We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors' responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the company in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the UK, including the FRC's Ethical Standard, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. |
Conclusions relating to going concern |
In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the directors' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate. |
Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the company's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue. |
Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the directors with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report. |
Other information |
The directors are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information in the Strategic Report and the Report of the Directors, but does not include the financial statements and our Report of the Auditors thereon. |
Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report, we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon. |
In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether this gives rise to a material misstatement in the financial statements themselves. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard. |
Opinions on other matters prescribed by the Companies Act 2006 |
In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of the audit: |
- | the information given in the Strategic Report and the Report of the Directors for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements; and |
- | the Strategic Report and the Report of the Directors have been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements. |
Report of the Independent Auditors to the Members of |
Revival Solutions 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 six, the directors are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as the directors determine necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. |
In preparing the financial statements, the directors are responsible for assessing the company's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the directors either intend to liquidate the company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so. |
Report of the Independent Auditors to the Members of |
Revival Solutions Group Ltd |
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: |
We identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, and then design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, including obtaining audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. However, responsibility for the prevention and detection of fraud ultimately rests with both those charged with governance and management of the company. |
In identifying and assessing risks of material misstatements in respect of irregularities, including fraud and non-compliance with laws and regulations, our procedures included the following: |
- obtaining an understanding of the legal and regulatory framework applicable to the company by |
considering the nature of the industry in which the company operates and enquiring of management; and |
- identifying the key laws and regulations considered to have a direct impact on the financial statements |
including the UK Companies Act 2006, UK Generally Accepted Accounting Practice and UK tax |
legislation. Other regulations identified which were not considered to have a direct impact on |
the financial statements but which were considered central to the ability of the company to operate |
were Road Traffic Act 1988 and the Road Transport Act 2001; and |
- assessing how the company is complying with the applicable legal and regulatory framework by making |
further enquiries of management and observing the company's control environment regarding |
compliance with regulations and fraud prevention; and |
- assessing the susceptibility of the company's financial statements to material misstatement, including |
how fraud might occur, by considering the effectiveness of the company's accounting systems and |
controls and how these were monitored by management. Performance related targets and bonuses |
were also considered. Where the risk of material misstatement was considered to be higher in certain |
areas, further audit procedures were designed to address this increased risk; and |
- discussing amongst the engagement team how and where fraud might occur in the financial statements |
and any potential indicators of fraud. |
Audit response to risks of irregularities identified |
Our procedures to respond to risks identified included the following: |
- reviewing financial statement disclosures and testing to support documentation to assess compliance |
with applicable laws and regulations; and |
- enquiry of company staff responsible for compliance to identify any instances of non-compliance with |
laws and regulations; and |
- reviewing supporting documentation confirming compliance with specific laws and regulations considered |
central to the ability of the company to operate; and |
- enquiry of management, those charged with governance and other relevant parties around actual and |
potential litigation claims; and |
- reviewing supporting documentation regarding actual and potential litigation claims; and |
- performing audit work over the risk of management override of controls, including testing of |
journal entries and other adjustments for appropriateness, evaluating the business rationale of |
significant transactions outside the normal course of business and reviewing accounting estimates |
for bias; and |
- performing audit work over revenue recognition including substantive tests of detail of a sample of revenue |
transactions; and |
- communicating identified laws and regulations and potential fraud risks to all engagement team members |
and assessing whether there are any indications of fraud for non-compliance with laws and regulations |
throughout the audit. |
Report of the Independent Auditors to the Members of |
Revival Solutions Group Ltd |
Because of the inherent limitations of an audit, there is a risk that we will not detect all irregularities, including |
those leading to a material misstatement in the financial statements or non-compliance with regulation. This |
risk increases the more that compliance with a law or regulation is removed from the events and transactions reflected in the financial statements, as we will be less likely to become aware of instances of |
non-compliance. The risk is also greater regarding irregularities occurring due to fraud rather than error, as |
fraud involves intentional concealment, forgery, collusion, omission or misrepresentation. |
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. |
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 so that we might state to the company's members those matters we are required to state to them in a Report of the Auditors and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone 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. |

Stocks |
Stocks and work in progress are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value, after making due allowance for obsolete and slow moving items. |
Cost is calculated using the first-in, first-out method and includes all purchase, transport, and handling costs in bringing stocks to their present location and condition. |
Financial instruments |
Basic financial instruments are recognised at amortised cost with changes recognised in the profit and loss account. |

2. | ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued |
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. |
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. |
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. |
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 |
Employee benefits |
When employees have rendered service to the company, short-term employee benefits to which the employees are entitled are recognised at the undiscounted amount expected to be paid in exchange for that service. |
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. |

3. | ACCOUNTING JUDGEMENTS AND KEY SOURCES OF ESTIMATION UNCERTAINTY |
The preparation of the financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported for assets and liabilities at the balance sheet date and the amounts reported for income and expenses during the year. However, the nature of estimation means that actual outcomes could differ from those estimates. The following judgements (apart from those involving estimates) have had the most significant effect on amounts recognised in the financial statements. |
Operating lease commitments |
The company has entered into commercial leases to obtain the use of motor vehicles and trailers. The classification of such leases as operating or finance leases requires the company to determine, base on an evaluation of the terms and conditions of the arrangements, whether it retains or acquires the significant risks and rewards of ownership of these assets and accordingly whether the lease requires the recognition of an asset and liability in the balance sheet. |
The following are the company's key sources of estimation uncertainty: |
Useful economic lives of tangible fixed assets |
The annual depreciation charge for tangible assets is sensitive to changes in the estimated useful economic lives of the assets. The useful economic lives are re-assessed annually and are amended when necessary to reflect current estimates. See note 11 for the carrying amount of tangible fixed assets, and note 2 for the useful economic lives for each class of assets. |
The selling price of a number of vehicles includes packages for future maintenance such as tyres, and road tax. The estimated future cost of these packages has been included as an accrual in the balance sheet and charged as part of cost of sales in the profit and loss account. These estimates are re-assessed annually. The total of such accruals at the balance sheet date was £569,423. |
4. | TURNOVER |
