Strategic Report |
for the Year Ended 31 May 2024 |
The principal activities of the company are metal recycling and metal trading. |
REVIEW OF BUSINESS |
On 13 April 2023, the Company joined forces with KJB Consulting (Global) Limited, another metal recycling company, and was acquired by Enicor Group Limited, a company which is ultimately owned by Pittsburgh Topco Limited. On 31 May 2023 the name of the Company was changed from Peterborough Metal Recycling Limited (trading as BW Riddle) to Enicor Limited. |
During the year ended 31 May 2024 the company generated sales of £73.64m Gross profit percentage for the year to 31 May 2024 was 18.7%. |
Net profit, after taxation for the year ended 31 May 2024 was £5.39m. |
PRINCIPAL RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES |
The Company recognises that the effective management of risk is essential to achieving its objectives of maximising performance and meeting its commitments to all stakeholders. |
1. Commodity Price Volatility: Metal prices can be highly volatile due to global demand, supply chain disruptions, and economic conditions. Fluctuations in commodity prices on the London Metal Exchange can directly impact the Company's revenue and profitability. |
2. Regulatory and Compliance Risks: the metal recycling industry is subject to regulations regarding environmental protection, health and safety, waste management, and transportation of hazardous materials. Non-compliance can lead to fines or legal actions |
3. Market Demand Fluctuations: Demand for recycled metals can vary due to changes in industrial production, construction activity, and consumer demand. Economic downturns or shifts in market preferences towards alternative materials can affect the demand for recycled metals. |
4. Operational Risks: These include risks related to the operation of heavy machinery, transportation of materials, and workplace safety. Accidents, equipment failures, or supply chain disruptions can disrupt operations and incur costs. |
5. Technological Changes: Advances in technology, such as more efficient extraction methods or the development of alternative materials, could affect the competitiveness of the metal recycling industry. Companies must adapt and invest in new technologies to remain competitive. |
6. Supply Chain Risks: Dependency on a consistent supply of scrap metal from various sources exposes the Company to risks such as shortages, quality issues, or disruptions in supply chains due to geopolitical tensions or natural disasters. |
7. Foreign Exchange Risks: The majority of the Company's purchases are in GBP pound sterling, a significant proportion of sales are denominated in US dollars. The Company manages foreign exchange risk by taking out forward contracts to fix currency exchange rates. |
8. Cybersecurity Risks: With increased digitalisation of operations and data management, metal recycling companies are vulnerable to cyber threats such as data breaches, ransomware attacks, or theft of sensitive information. |

Strategic Report |
for the Year Ended 31 May 2024 |
CLIMATE CHANGE |
Metal recycling plays a crucial role in reducing the environmental footprint of metal production and consumption, thereby contributing to global efforts to combat climate change and promote sustainability.: |
1. Energy Conservation: Recycling metal requires significantly less energy compared to primary metal production from ore. For example, recycling aluminium saves around 95% of the energy required for primary production and consequently lower CO2 emissions. |
2. Reduction of Greenhouse Gas Emissions: Metal recycling reduces the need for mining and extraction of virgin ores, which is often energy-intensive and contributes to greenhouse gas emissions. Additionally, recycling metals produces fewer emissions compared to primary production processes. |
3. Preservation of Natural Resources: Recycling metal conserves natural resources by extending the lifespan of existing materials reducing the need for new extraction activities, which can cause habitat destruction, soil erosion, and water pollution, all of which contribute to climate change. |
4. Waste Reduction and Landfill Diversion: The metal recycling activities undertaken by the Company helps to divert waste from landfill, where decomposition processes generate methane, a potent greenhouse gas. |
5. Carbon Footprint Reduction: The entire lifecycle of metal products, from extraction to production to disposal, contributes to carbon emissions. By recycling metals, the overall carbon footprint associated with metals is reduced, as less energy is required for recycling compared to primary production. |
6. Promotion of Circular Economy: Metal recycling is a key component of the circular economy, where materials are reused and recycled to minimise waste and resource consumption. By promoting a circular approach to metal use, the Company contributes to a more sustainable and climate-resilient economy. |
To maximise the climate benefits of metal recycling, the Company continues to invest in efficient recycling technologies, promoting recycling awareness and participation, and implementing policies that incentivise recycling and circular economy practices. |
FINANCIAL POSITION |
At 31 May 2024 the company had net assets of £37.46m (31 May 2023 £32.07m). The Company has no debt and at 31 May 2024 had net cash resources of £3.74m. (31 May 2023 no debt and cash resources of £2.52m). |

DIRECTORS |
The directors shown below have held office during the whole of the period from 1 June 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; |
- | 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 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, Parkins Accountants Ltd, 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 |
Enicor Limited |
Opinion |
We have audited the financial statements of Enicor Limited (the 'company') for the year ended 31 May 2024 which comprise the Income Statement, Other 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 May 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. |
Report of the Independent Auditors to the Members of |
Enicor Limited |
Matters on which we are required to report by exception |
In the light of the knowledge and understanding of the company and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the Strategic Report or the Report of the Directors. |
We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters where the Companies Act 2006 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion: |
- | adequate accounting records have not been kept, or returns adequate for our audit have not been received from branches not visited by us; or |
- | the financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns; or |
- | certain disclosures of directors' remuneration specified by law are not made; or |
- | we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit. |
Responsibilities of directors |
As explained more fully in the Statement of Directors' Responsibilities set out on page five, 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 |
Enicor 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: |
Financial statements, including how fraud may occur by enquiring of management of its own consideration of fraud. |
In particular, we looked at where management made subjective judgements, for example in respect of significant accounting estimates that involved making assumptions and considering future events that are inherently uncertain. We also considered potential financial or other pressures, opportunity and motivations for fraud. As part of this discussion we identified the internal controls established to mitigate risks related to fraud or noncompliance with laws and regulations and how management monitor these processes. Appropriate procedures included the review payments to management / related party transactions and key estimates and judgements made by management. |
We gained an understanding of the legal and regulatory framework in which it operates, drawing on our broad sector experience, and considered the risk of acts by the company that were contrary to these laws and regulations, including fraud. |
We focused on laws and regulations that could give rise to a material misstatement in the financial statements. |
We made enquiries of management with regards to compliance with the above laws and regulations and corroborated any necessary evidence to relevant information, for example, minutes of the directors meetings, correspondence with regulators, |
We completed a systematic sample of source documentation to the accounting records together with attended stocktakes. |
We did not identify any key audit matters relating to irregularities, including fraud. As in all of our audits, we also addressed the risk of management override of internal controls including testing journals and evaluation whether there was evidence of bias by the management that represented a risk of material misstatement due to fraud. |
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. |
Report of the Independent Auditors to the Members of |
Enicor Limited |
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. |

2. | ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
Basis of preparing the financial statements |
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. |
Turnover |
Turnover is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, excluding discounts, rebates, value added tax and other sales taxes. |
Turnover comprises the fair value of the consideration received or receivable for the sale of goods and provision of services in the ordinary course of the company’s activities. Turnover is shown net of sales/value added tax, returns, rebates and discounts. |
The company recognises revenue when: |
The amount of revenue can be reliably measured; |
it is probable that future economic benefits will flow to the entity; |
and specific criteria have been met for each of the company's activities. |
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 |
Plant and machinery | - |
Fixtures and fittings | - |
Motor vehicles | - |
Stocks |
Stocks are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value, after making due allowance for obsolete and slow moving items. |

2. | ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued |
Financial instruments |
The company only enters into basic financial instrument transactions that result in the recognition of financial assets and liabilities like trade and other debtors and creditors, loans from banks and other third parties and investments in non-puttable ordinary shares. |
Debt instruments (other than those wholly repayable or receivable within one year), including loans and other |
accounts receivable and payable, are initially measured at present value of the future cash flows and subsequently at amortised cost using the effective interest method. |
Debt instruments that are payable or receivable within one year, typically trade debtors and creditors, are |
measured, initially and subsequently, at the undiscounted amount of the cash or other consideration expected to be paid or received. However, if the arrangements of a short-term instrument constitute a financing transaction, like the payment of a trade debt deferred beyond normal business terms or financed at a rate of interest that is not a market rate or in the case of an out-right short-term loan not at market rate, the financial asset or liability is measured, initially, at the present value of the future cash flow discounted at a market rate of interest for a similar debt instrument and subsequently at amortised cost. |
Financial assets that are measured at cost and amortised cost are assessed at the end of each reporting period for objective evidence of impairment. If objective evidence of impairment is found, an impairment loss is recognised in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income. |
For financial assets measured at amortised cost, the impairment loss is measured as the difference between an asset's carrying amount and the present value of estimated cash flows discounted at the asset's original effective interest rate. If a financial asset has a variable interest rate, the discount rate for measuring any impairment loss is the current effective interest rate determined under the contract. |
For financial assets measured at cost less impairment, the impairment loss is measured as the difference between an asset's carrying amount and best estimate of the recoverable amount, which is an approximation of the amount that the Group would receive for the asset if it were to be sold at the balance |
sheet date. |
Short term creditors are measured at the transaction price. Other financial liabilities, including bank loans, are |
measured initially at fair value, net of transaction costs, and are measured subsequently at amortised cost using the effective interest method. |
Financial assets and liabilities are offset and the net amount reported in the balance sheet when there is an |
enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously. |
Taxation |
Taxation for the year comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is recognised in the Income Statement, 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. |
Enicor Limited (Registered number: 03365414) |
Notes to the Financial Statements - continued |
for the Year Ended 31 May 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 |
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. |
Trade debtors |
Trade Debtors are amounts due from customers for goods sold or services performed in the ordinary course of business. |
Trade Debtors are recognised initially at the transaction price. They are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less provision for impairment. A provision for the impairment of trade debtors is established when there is objective evidence that the company will not be able to collect all amounts due according to the original terms of the receivables. |
Trade creditors |
Trade Creditors are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of business from suppliers. Accounts payable are classified as current liabilities if the company does not have an unconditional right, at the end of the reporting period, to defer settlement of the creditor for at least twelve months after the reporting date. If there is an unconditional right to defer settlement for at least twelve months after the reporting date, they are presented as non-current liabilities. |
Trade Creditors are recognised initially at the transaction price and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. |
Cash and cash equivalents |
Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash on hand and call deposits, and other short-term highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to a known amount of cash and are subject to an insignificant risk of change in value. |

3. | CRITICAL ACCOUNTING JUDGEMENTS AND KEY SOURCES OF ESTIMATION UNCERTAINTY |
In the application of the company'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. |
Stock valuation |
The determination of the carrying value of stocks held, notably the different classes of materials and the impact on valuation caused by fluctuations in global commodity prices. The factors taken into consideration in reaching a discussion include a review of the market prices for materials held with reference to the agreed contracted prices. The value of processed goods held for resale include an estimate of the value added during the production process. |
Measurement of stock quantities |
Stock quantities require an estimation by management which is made using internal management information and adjusted on the basis of a year end physical inspection and managements historical experience. |
Depreciation |
The determination of the useful economic life if fixed assets held and the estimation of residual values. The |
factors taken into account include the extent to which items of plant and machinery are subject to maintenance programmes and an assessment of the expected remaining lives of the assets based on performance measures. |
Impairment of goodwill and intangible assets |
Impairment tests have been undertaken in respect of goodwill and intangible assets using an assessment of the value in use of the respective Cash Generating Units The assessment requires a number of assumptions and estimates to be made including the allocation of assets to the Cash Generating Units, the expected future cash flows from each Cash Generating Unit and also the selection of the suitable discount rate in order to calculate the present value of those cash flows. |
Fair values assigned to acquired assets and liabilities |
The determination of the fair values attributed to acquired assets and liabilities requires estimates to be made |
about the outcome of future events, including the condition of acquired assets, the ongoing value to the business of intangible assets and the recoverability of other assets. For liabilities, an assessment is required to identify any unrecorded liabilities or disputed amounts to determine whether liabilities should be recognised at the point of acquisition. |
Bad debt provisions |
A number of accounting estimates and judgements are necessary to determine in the impairment provisions |
against trade receivables. |
Corporation tax liabilities |
The Company is required to estimate it tax assets and liabilities. The requires an assessment of the current tax liability together with the outcome of any open positions which may be subject to challenge by the tax |
authorities. As assessment of the temporary differences which arise as a result of different accounting and tax treatments is also required as these temporary differences result in deferred tax assets or liabilities. Deferred tax assets are only recognised to the extent that is is more likely than not that the asset will be realised in the future. This requires judgement to be made, including the levels of forecast future taxable income. |
