Strategic Report |
for the Year Ended 30 April 2024 |
The principal activity of the company in the year under review was that of caravan and motorhome retailers. |
The results for the year and financial position of the company are as shown in the annexed financial statements. |
The director is satisfied with how the year went particularly with the company in a competitive market. |
Administrative expenses have been controlled on the whole due to the close monitoring by the director. The director would also like to thank its loyal and hardworking employees who deliver value and service to our customers. |
The director considers the financial key performance indicators for the company to be turnover, margins and profit before taxation. |
The main risks for 2025 are seen to be difficult and challenging trading conditions; the impact of Brexit is still being felt throughout the sector. The director, however, is confident that with a strong management team, ongoing profitability and a healthy balance sheet, the company will maintain and hopefully increase its market share in the forthcoming year. |
As Director of Glossop Caravans, I have a responsibility to consider, in good faith, ways to promote the company's success , and to have regard to the long-term effect of our decisions on the company. This statement addresses the ways in which I as Director outwork this responsibility. |
Promoting the company's success |
Glossop Caravans Limited was established in 1976 by brothers Stanley and Brian Laing. We are a family business and family is at the heart of what we do. I am pleased with our business history and growth over nearly half a century; I am also proud to provide employment, training and financial rewards for the company and its employees. |
As one of the largest caravan and motorhome dealers in the UK we are constantly looking to maintain our standards and always look for new and innovative ways to engage with our customers. The customer's journey is very important to us and much of our decision making and planning is centred on creating the best experience we can. The business works from a number of locations in the Glossop area, each with a specific role in ensuring the continuity of the business and providing excellence in customer service. |
The aim across all sections of the business is to work in conjunction to grow profits and market share; we achieve this by making strategic decisions based on future potential for growth. The industry has a seasonal pattern and we work closely with manufacturers to negotiate quotas and prices as well as feeding back information from our experience and that of our customers. |
We continue to invest annually in maintaining our properties, providing excellent workspaces for our employees and attractive setting for our customers to visit. Investment in technology is ongoing as we work towards reducing our reliance on paper for our daily activities and record keeping. Our website continues to be the number one stop for those looking to research on purchase a caravan or motorhome. These investments will help to ensure long term success.. |
Our employees |
Retail and aftercare in the caravan and motorhome industry is very hands on; skilled engineers are required to prepare, service and repair vehicles; the cleaning team perform a crucial role making both the inside and outside of each vehicle spotless; the sales team working with multimedia methods to bring in sales; despatch teams work with each purchaser to handover the vehicle and provide advice on using the equipment; awnings and accessories teams work with individual customers to supply their needs. All these front of house teams are backed up by IT, admin and site support teams to ensure smooth working practices and health and safety compliance. |

Strategic Report |
for the Year Ended 30 April 2024 |
Our staff retention is generally very good; our current workforce has accrued almost 1750 years between them. Nearly 50% of colleagues with us for 5 or more years and over 30% have been with us over 10 years; our longest serving colleague has clocked in for 42 years. |
We achieve this by: |
- Providing remuneration in line with the industry norms and local salaries. |
- An annual performance bonus is paid to all staff based on the sales figures during August. |
- We provide training both in house and externally for specialist skills and encourage colleagues to develop their skills through additional training. |
- We have an enhanced long service award which recognises each 5 year milestone with a monetary award; additional holidays are also accrued during early years of service. |
- We allow the autonomy of various departments under managers and team leaders and encourage idea exchanges. |
- As director I have an open door policy and regularly speak with our team members. |
- We hold regular management meetings and hold consultations with our teams to inform our plans. |
Our customers |
We invest time and money in ensuring that our customer's journey matches and even exceeds the expectations of a customer buying a high ticket item. Customers increasingly go through the first part of the buying cycle on our website and therefore we allocate constant investment in IT to keep up with technology and ahead of the competition. |
We source quality products and provide an excellent after sales service and warranties that provide peace of mind to the caravan and motor home owner. |
Every customer that collects a caravan or motor home completes a customer survey. The survey provides welcome feedback on our service and helps to develop our practices; 97% of our customers give us a four or 5 star satisfaction rating. |
We are associated with the Camping and Caravanning Club through which we have access to customer views this helps inform developments that we make to our service and our product. |
We prioritise quality of service and attention to detail; our customers appreciate this and many of them return over the years to upgrade their caravan or motor home. |
Our suppliers |
We work closely with the three major manufacturers in the UK. We have a productive working relationship at all levels of the business. In addition we are well respected customers of numerous manufacturers and suppliers of parts and supplies. |
Our Community |
We are a family owned and run company and many of our staff live in the local area; many of our staff are not the only member of their family working with us. We value family and community and support both in equal measure. We have held a long association with a local children's charity and this is the main area for our charitable donations. However, we respond to other local needs too and regularly support events and causes especially those related to our colleagues. |
We are conscious of our responsibility to the community and take care to maintain a good impression for visitors to our town. Our liveried vehicles are easily recognisable and we work hard to ensure that our drivers represent us well whilst on the road. |

Our Planet |
We generate a range of waste products in our daily activities and we have a robust recycling and reusing scheme. We use hazardous materials for some of our activities and these are carefully stored and disposed of. We have put in place electricity, gas and water saving practices to reduce our footprint and are undertaking research and studies to work towards net zero. |
We have invested in extensive well maintained landscaped areas on our sites which helps to attract wildlife and provide cleaner air. Over 50 trees planted on our sites in the last few years are maturing well providing a bio-diverse habitat for native species. We sell an outdoor lifestyle and we are serious about making sure that we help to keep the outdoors a clean and healthy place to spend time. |

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).

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; |
- | state whether applicable accounting standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; |

Report of the Director |
for the Year Ended 30 April 2024 |
STATEMENT OF DIRECTOR'S RESPONSIBILITIES - continued |
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. |
ON BEHALF OF THE BOARD: |
Report of the Independent Auditors to the Members of |
Glossop Caravans Limited |
Opinion |
We have audited the financial statements of Glossop Caravans Limited (the 'company') for the year ended 30 April 2024 which comprise the Statement of Income and Retained Earnings, Balance Sheet, 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 30 April 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 |
Glossop Caravans 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 pages five and six, 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 |
Glossop Caravans 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: |
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. |
Identifying and assessing potential risks to irregularities |
In identifying and assessing risks of material misstatement in respect of irregularities, including fraud and non-compliance with laws and regulations, we considered the following: |
Audit response to risks identified |
- | the nature of the industry and sector, control environment and business performance; |
- | results of enquiries of management about their own identification and assessment of the risks of irregularities; |
- | any matters we identified having obtained and reviewed the Company's documentation of their policies and procedures relating to: |
- | identifying, evaluating and complying with laws and regulations and whether they were aware of any instances of noncompliance; |
- | detecting and responding to the risks of fraud and whether they have knowledge of any actual, suspected or alleged fraud; |
- | the internal controls established to mitigate risks of fraud or non-compliance with laws and regulations; |
- | the matters discussed among the audit engagement team and involving other internal specialists including tax regarding how and where fraud might occur in the financial statements and any potential indicators of fraud. |
As a result of these procedures, we considered the opportunities and incentives that may exist within the organisation for fraud. In common with all audits under ISAs (UK), we are also required to perform specific procedures to respond to the risks of management override. |
We also obtained an understanding of the legal and regulatory frameworks that the Company operates in, focusing on provisions of those laws and regulations that had a direct effect on the determination of material amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The key laws and regulations we considered in this context included the UK Companies Act and local tax legislation. |
As a result of performing the above, we did not identify any key audit matters related to the potential risk of fraud. |
Our procedures to respond to risks identified included the following: |
- | reviewing the financial statement disclosures and testing to supporting documentation to assess compliance with provisions of relevant laws and regulations described as having a direct effect on the financial statements; |
- | enquiring of management concerning actual and potential litigation and claims; |
- | performing analytical procedures to identify any unusual or unexpected relationships that may indicate risks of material misstatement due to fraud; |
- | obtained an understanding of provisions and held discussions with management to understand the basis of recognition or non-recognition of tax provisions; and |
Report of the Independent Auditors to the Members of |
Glossop Caravans Limited |
- | in addressing the risks of fraud through management override of controls, testing the appropriateness of journal entries and other adjustments; assessing whether the judgements made in making accounting estimates are indicative of potential bias; and evaluating the business rationale of any significant transactions that are unusual or outside the normal course of business.We also communicated relevant identified laws and regulations and potential fraud risks to all engagement team members, and remained alert to any indications of fraud or non compliance with laws and regulations throughout the audit. |
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. |

for the Year Ended 30 April 2024 |
1. | STATUTORY INFORMATION |
Glossop Caravans Limited is a |
2. | ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
Basis of preparing the financial statements |
Significant judgements and estimates |
In applying the company's accounting policies, the directors are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions in determining the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities. The directors' judgements, estimates and assumptions are based on the best and most reliable evidence available at the time when the decisions are made, and are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be applicable. Due to the inherent subjectivity involved in making such judgements, estimates and assumptions, the actual results and outcomes may differ. |
The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revision to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised, if the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods, if the revision affects both current and future periods. |
Key sources of estimation uncertainty |
The key assumptions concerning the future, and other key sources of estimation uncertainty, that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year are disclosed below. |
Assessing indicators of impairment |
In assessing whether there have been any indicators of impairment assets, the directors have considered both external and internal sources of information such as market conditions and experience of recoverability. There have been no indicators of impairments identified during the current financial year. |
Tangible fixed assets |
Tangible fixed assets, are depreciated over their useful lives taking into account residual values, where appropriate. The actual lives of the assets and residual values are assessed annually and may vary depending on a number of factors. In re-assessing asset lives, factors such as technological innovation, product life cycles and maintenance programmes are taken into account. Residual value assessments consider issues such as future market conditions, the remaining life of the asset and projected disposal values. |
Turnover |
Turnover is measured at fair value of the consideration received or receivable, excluding discounts, rebates and value added tax from the provision of goods and services which fall within the company's ordinary activity. |
Commissions and management charges are recognised in the period in which they are receivable. |
Bank interest is recognised in the period in which it is received. |

2. | ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued |
Tangible fixed assets |
Long leasehold | - |
Capital caravans | - |
Plant and machinery | - |
Fixtures and fittings | - |
Motor vehicles | - |
Tangible fixed assets are initially recorded at cost less any tax, discounts and rebates. Subsequently they are recorded at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment. |
Stocks |
Stocks are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value, after making due allowance for obsolete and slow moving items. |
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. |
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. |
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. |
Hire purchase and leasing commitments |
Rentals paid under operating leases are charged to the profit and loss account as incurred. |
Going concern |
The company's financial statements for the year ended 30 April 2024 have been prepared on a going concern basis as, after making appropriate enquiries, the director has a reasonable expectation that the company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. |
