STRATEGIC REPORT |
for the year ended 31 August 2024 |
The director presents his strategic report for the year ended 31 August 2024. |
REVIEW OF BUSINESS |
The Company posted a Net Profit for the year ended 31 August 2024 of £0.7m and EBITD of £1.7m. |
The Director considers this as a good performance considering the unprecedented cost inflation and the continued decline of UK automotive vehicle volumes. |
The Company's turnover decreased from £21m to £19m. |
UK automotive vehicle volumes remain at 80% of historic levels. This is likely to continue in the medium term as the industry continues to develop cheaper electric vehicles. Whilst automotive volumes stagnate, off highway volumes remain buoyant. |
In November 2023, automotive serial production accounted for 40% of sales. In Nov 2025, it will represent 15%. Turnover will be maintained, with high added value business replacing the reduced automotive volumes. |
The Coventry facility, which is predominantly off-highway business, continued to perform well. |
The Gateshead Pressings facility, which historically has predominantly supplied Nissan with high volume pressed parts, performed well considering the reduced level of sales and historically low pricing. Performance will improve for 2025, as the company introduces new customers and products. |
The Company is now excellently positioned to continue winning new business contracts. The Group's capabilities include; in-house press tooling design and manufacture, 40 presses over 3 sites, a 2,500 tonne press (one of the largest in UK), 6 Trumpf laser cutting cells, Plasma Robot cutting, robot hemming, robot welding and an EDP paint line. |
Marrill has faced the challenge of increasing labour costs and energy costs. Working with suppliers and customers, Marrill has mitigated the impact of these cost increases. |
The Company has recruited, developed and trained a new commercial team which will optimise new business growth opportunities, facilitated by the Group's world class operational KPIs. |
The increased profits, together with reduced investment and gearing will see cash availability continue to improve. The Company's cash headroom is currently in excess of £1.75m. |
Key performance indicators |
The company uses a wide range of key performance indicators to monitor and measure both plant's |
performance to ensure that its customers' expectations are achieved. The KPI data is monitored daily ensuring that its customers' expectations are achieved. |

STRATEGIC REPORT |
for the year ended 31 August 2024 |
PRINCIPAL RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES |
Inflation and overseas conflicts are the most notable uncertainties. |
Marrill will reduce the impact of material inflation by continuing to use its purchasing leverage to secure the best price. The UK is seeing evidence of improvement in labour supply, this should ease wage pressure. Marrill benefit from commodity price fluctuation agreements with all its customers. |
Marrill use local steel and aluminium stockists, mitigating supply risk for its main components. |

DIVIDENDS |

DIRECTOR |
STATEMENT OF DIRECTOR'S RESPONSIBILITIES |
The director is responsible for preparing the Strategic Report, the Report of the Director and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and regulations. |
Company law requires the director to prepare financial statements for each financial year. Under that law the director has 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 director must not approve the financial statements unless he is 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 director is 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 director is 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 him to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. He is 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 director is 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 he 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. |
AUDITORS |
The auditors, Luckmans Duckett Parker Limited, 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 |
MARRILL LIMITED |
Opinion |
We have audited the financial statements of Marrill Limited (the 'company') for the year ended 31 August 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 August 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 director's 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 director with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report. |
Other information |
The director is responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information in the Strategic Report and the Report of the Director, 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 Director 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 Director have been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements. |
REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE MEMBERS OF |
MARRILL 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 Director. |
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 director's remuneration specified by law are not made; or |
- | we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit. |
Responsibilities of director |
As explained more fully in the Statement of Director's Responsibilities set out on page four, the director is 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 director determines 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 director is 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 director either intends to liquidate the company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so. |
REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE MEMBERS OF |
MARRILL LIMITED |
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: |
Our approach to designing audit procedures by tailoring and directing testing to aid and support the determined level of risk. In response, the procedures we perform determine the level of risk include: |
- reference to history and experience of the Entity; and |
- enquiry of management, including obtaining and reviewing supporting documentation concerning the Entity's procedures relating to: |
- identifying and complying with laws and regulations and whether they were aware of any instances of |
non-compliance; and |
- detection and response to risk of fraud and whether they are aware of any actual or suspected instances of fraud; and |
- assessment of the controls and processes that the Entity has in place to mitigate risk. |
Our assessments included the identification of the following potential areas for fraud: |
- management override of control; and |
- revenue recognition, particularly in respect of delivery services |
These procedures, and the extent to which they are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud, are detailed below: |
- critically assessed the appropriateness and testing the application of the revenue and cost recognition policies; and |
- testing the appropriateness of accounting estimates, journals and other adjustments made in the preparation of the financial statements; and |
- reviewing the Entity's accounting policies for non-compliance with relevant standards; and |
- making enquiries of management and reviewing correspondence with the relevant authorities to identify any irregularities or instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. |
In performing an audit in accordance with UK GAAP, we exercise professional judgement and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit process. |
The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion or override of internal controls. There are inherent limitations in the audit procedures performed. |
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. |

Basis of preparing the 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 33.7. |
The financial statements of the company are consolidated in the financial statements of Marrill Group Limited. These consolidated financial statements are available from its registered office, New Horizon Park, Waterman Road, Coventry, CV6 5TP. |
Significant judgements and estimates |
In the application of the company's accounting policies, the director is 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. |
Profit on long term contracts |
In producing the financial statements the directors have taken judgements over the profit to be taken on long term contracts. Profit is taken as the work is carried out where the final outcome can be assessed with reasonable certainty. Full provision is made for losses on all contracts in the year. |

Turnover |
The turnover shown in the profit and loss account represents the value of all goods sold during the period, less returns received, at selling price exclusive of Value Added Tax. Sales are recognised at the point at which the company has fulfilled its contractual obligations and the risks and rewards attaching to the product, such as obsolescence, have been transferred to the customer. Turnover is calculated as a proportion of total contract revenue where costs incurred to date bear a relation to total expected costs for that contract. |
Amounts recoverable on contracts are recognised to the extent that any profits by stage of completion have not been invoiced. |
Tangible fixed assets |
Freehold property | - |
Plant and machinery | - |
Fixtures and fittings | - |
Computer equipment | - |
Land is not depreciated, as it is considered to have an infinite life. |
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 credited or charged to profit or loss. |
Stocks |
Stocks are stated at the lower of cost and estimated selling price less costs to complete and sell. Cost comprises direct materials and, where applicable, direct labour costs and those overheads that have been incurred in bringing the stocks to their present location and condition. |
Work in progress is valued on the basis of direct material and labour costs plus attributable overheads based on a normal level of activity. |
At each reporting date, an assessment is made for impairment. Any excess of the carrying amount of stocks over its estimated selling price less costs to complete and sell is recognised as an impairment loss in profit or loss. Reversals of impairment losses are also recognised in profit or loss. |
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. |

Research and development |
Expenditure on research and development is written off in the year in which it is incurred. |
Foreign currencies |
Transactions denominated in foreign currencies are recorded at the rates of exchange ruling at the dates of the transactions, or at an average rate for the period if the rates do not fluctuate significantly. Monetary assets and liabilities are translated at year end exchange rates or, where appropriate, at rates of exchange fixed under the terms of the relevant transaction. The resulting exchange rate differences are charged to the profit and loss account. |
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 |
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. |
Long term contracts |
For long term contracts, profit is recognised by reference to the stage of completion of each contract where there is reasonably certainty that the contract will be profitable. Where the outcome of the contract cannot be established with reasonable certainty, no profit is recognised. Foreseeable losses are provided for in full at the point at which the loss is anticipated. |
Where amounts invoiced exceed the value of work done, the excess is accounted for as payments received on account and is included within creditors. Where the value of work done exceeds the amounts invoiced, the excess is accounted for as amounts recoverable on contracts and is included within debtors. |
Where the outcome of a contract can be estimated reliably, revenue and costs are recognised by reference to the stage of completion of the contract activity at the reporting end date. Variations in contract work, claims and incentive payments are included to the extent that the amount can be measured reliably and its receipt is considered probable. |
When it is probable that total contract costs will exceed total contract turnover, the expected loss is recognised as an expense immediately. |
Where the outcome of a construction contract cannot be estimated reliably, contract costs are recognised as expenses in the period in which they are incurred and contract revenue is recognised to the extent of contract costs incurred where it is probable that they will be recoverable. |
The "percentage of completion method" is used to determine the appropriate amount to recognise in a given period. The stage of completion is measured by the proportion of contract costs incurred for work performed to date compared to the estimated total contract costs. Costs incurred in the year in connection with future activity on a contract are excluded from contract costs in determining the stage of completion. |
These costs are presented as stocks, prepayments or other assets depending on their nature, and provided it is probable they will be recovered. |
