Strategic Report for the Year Ended 30 June 2024
The directors present their strategic report for the year ended 30 June 2024.
Principal activity
The principal activity of the company is that of haulage contactors.
Fair review of the business
The company is a leading haulage business based in the North West of England, providing transportation services across the UK. Specialising in full-load and part-load deliveries, the company has established a strong reputation for reliability, efficiency, and customer service. With a fleet of modern vehicles and a highly skilled workforce, the company serves a broad range of sectors, including retail, manufacturing, construction, and logistics.
The UK haulage and logistics industry is experiencing significant changes, with increasing pressure on businesses to meet customer demands for quicker deliveries, reduced environmental impact, and lower costs. There is also heightened competition, both from other haulage companies and alternative transportation methods such as rail and air freight.
Key market trends that have impacted the company include:
• Fuel Price Volatility: Global fuel price fluctuations have posed challenges, though the company has mitigated these effects through long-term fuel contracts and strategic fuel management practices.
• Labour Shortage: The ongoing shortage of qualified drivers in the UK has led to rising wages and recruitment costs. The company has addressed this by investing in driver training and retention programs.
• Regulatory Changes: Increased environmental regulations, such as the introduction of stricter emissions standards and low-emission zones in urban areas, have forced the company to adapt quickly. This includes investing in eco-friendly technologies and ensuring fleet compliance with evolving standards.
• E-commerce Boom: The rapid growth of online shopping has led to an increase in demand for haulage services, particularly for last-mile delivery solutions. The company has adapted its operations to cater to this new demand, ensuring flexibility and responsiveness.
Looking ahead, the company is focused on the following strategic objectives to sustain growth and remain competitive:
• Fleet Modernisation and Sustainability: Continued investment in a modern, energy-efficient fleet, will be a key priority. The company is committed to reducing its carbon footprint and aligning with regulatory requirements for cleaner operations.
• Technology Integration: Further investments in technology will enhance operational efficiency, improve customer experience, and streamline fleet management.
• Driver Training and Development: To address the ongoing driver shortage, the company will focus on training, development, and offering competitive benefits to attract and retain skilled drivers.
• Cost Management: The company will continue to focus on cost-efficiency, particularly in relation to fuel, fleet maintenance, and labour, in order to protect margins while delivering high-quality services to clients.
The financial year ended 30 June 2024 has been a year of both challenges and growth for the company. The haulage sector has seen fluctuating fuel prices, increasing regulatory requirements, and a competitive market, but the company has demonstrated resilience and adaptability.

Directors' Report for the Year Ended 30 June 2024
The directors present their report and the financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2024.
Directors of the company
The directors who held office during the year were as follows:
Dividends
The directors do not recommend the payment of a dividend.
Financial instruments
Objectives and policies
The company uses a variety of financial instruments including cash, borrowings, and various items such as trade debtors and trade creditors, that arise directly from its operations. The main purpose of these financial instruments is to provide working capital for its operations.
The directors are of the view that the main risks arising from the company’s financial instruments are liquidity risk, cash flow risk, price risk and credit risk. The directors review and agree policies for managing each of these risks and they are summarised below. These policies remain unchanged from previous years.
Price risk, credit risk, liquidity risk and cash flow risk
The Company has some moderate exposure to a level of price risk, credit risk, liquidity risk and cash flow risk. The company manages these risks through maintaining and building strong relationships with leading steel suppliers, long term customers and finance partners.
Liquidity risk and cash flow risk
The company seeks to manage these risks by ensuring sufficient liquidity is available to meet foreseeable needs and to invest cash assets safely and profitably.
Price risk
The company is exposed to price risk due to its reliance on diesel to power its fleet of haulage vehicles. Fluctuations in diesel prices are reviewed on a regular basis and taken into consideration when placing orders and setting the selling price of the goods and services that it supplies.
Credit risk
The company’s principal financial assets are cash and trade debtors. The principal credit risk arises from its trade debtors.

Statement of Directors' Responsibilities
The directors acknowledge their responsibilities for preparing the Annual Report 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 apply them consistently; |
• |
make judgements and accounting estimates that are reasonable and prudent; |
• |
state whether applicable United Kingdom Accounting Standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; and |
• |
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.
McMurray's Haulage Limited
Independent Auditor's Report to the Members of McMurray's Haulage Limited
Opinion
We have audited the financial statements of McMurray's Haulage Limited (the 'company') for the year ended 30 June 2024, which comprise the Profit and Loss Account, 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 30 June 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 auditor 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 original financial statements were 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 included in the annual report, other than the financial statements and our auditor’s report 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 there is a material misstatement in the financial statements or a material misstatement of the other information. 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.
McMurray's Haulage Limited
Independent Auditor's Report to the Members of McMurray's Haulage Limited
Opinion on other matter 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 Directors' Report for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements; and |
• |
the Strategic Report and Directors' Report have been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements. |
Matters on which we are required to report by exception
In the light of our 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 and the Directors' Report.
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 7], 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 is 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.
Auditor 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 an auditor’s report 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.
A further description of our responsibilities is available on the Financial Reporting Council’s website at: www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our auditor’s report.
McMurray's Haulage Limited
Independent Auditor's Report to the Members of McMurray's Haulage Limited
Extent to which the audit was considered capable of detecting irregularities including fraud
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.
In identifying and addressing risks of material misstatement in respect of irregularities, including fraud and non-compliance with laws and regulations, our procedures included the following:
• |
We obtained an understanding of laws and regulations that affect the company, focusing on those that had a direct effect on on the financial statements or that had a fundamental effect on its operations. Key laws and regulations that we identified included the UK Companies Act, tax legislation, health and safety regulations, occupational health and employment legislation. |
• |
We enquired of the directors, reviewed correspondence with HMRC and enquired with the directors in order to gain evidence of non-compliance with relevant laws and regulations. We also reviewed controls the directors have in place to ensure compliance. |
• |
We gained an understanding of the controls that the directors have in place to prevent and detect for fraud. We enquired about any instances of fraud that have taken place in the accounting period. |
• |
The risk of fraud and non-compliance with laws and regulations was discussed with the audit team and tests were planned and performed to address these risks. |
• |
We reviewed financial statements disclosures and tested to supporting documentation to assess compliance with relevant laws and regulations discussed above. |
• |
We enquired of the directors about actual and potential litigation claims. |
• |
We performed analytical procedures to identify any unusual or unexpected relationships that might indicate risks of material misstatement due to fraud. |
• |
In addressing the risk of fraud due to management override of internal controls we tested the appropriateness of journal entries and assessed whether the judgements made in making accounting estimates were indicative of a potential bias. |
Due to the inherent limitations of an audit, there is an unavoidable risk that we may not have detected some material misstatements in the financial statements, even though we have properly planned and performed our audit in accordance with auditing standards. For example, as with any audit, there remained a higher risk of non-detection of irregularities, as these may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal controls. We are not responsible for preventing fraud or non-compliance with laws and regulations and cannot be expected to detect all fraud and non-compliance with laws and regulations.
We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.

The principal accounting policies applied in the preparation of these financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all the years presented, unless otherwise stated.

McMurray's Haulage Limited
Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 30 June 2024
Judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty
In 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 considered to be relevant. Actual results may vary 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 revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods where the revision affects both current and future periods. |
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 if the revision affects only that period, or in the period of revision and future periods if the revision affects both and future periods. |
In the opinion of the directors there are no critical accounting judgements that require further disclosure. |
Accounting estimates and assumptions are made concerning the future and, by their nature, will rarely equal the related actual outcome. The key assumptions and other 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 as follows: |
- Tangible fixed assets are depreciated over their estimated 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 are taken into account. Residual value assessments consider issues such as future market conditions, the remaining life of the asset and projected disposal values. |
- Determination of the recoverability of trade debtors. A specific provision is made against certain debts where in the opinion of directors the debt is not fully recoverable. |
Revenue recognition
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 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.
Tax
The tax expense for the period comprises current tax. Tax is recognised in profit or loss, except that a change attributable to an item of income or expense recognised as other comprehensive income is also recognised directly in other comprehensive income.
The current income tax charge is calculated on the basis of tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date in the countries where the company operates and generates taxable income.
Tangible assets
Tangible assets are stated in the balance sheet at cost, less any subsequent accumulated depreciation and subsequent accumulated impairment losses.
The cost of tangible assets includes directly attributable incremental costs incurred in their acquisition and installation.
McMurray's Haulage Limited
Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 30 June 2024
Depreciation
Depreciation is charged so as to write off the cost of assets, other than land and properties under construction over their estimated useful lives, as follows:
Asset class |
Depreciation method and rate |
Office equipment |
25% reducing balance |
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.
Trade debtors
Trade debtors are amounts due from customers for merchandise 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.
Share capital
Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Equity instruments are measured at the fair value of the cash or other resources received or receivable, net of the direct costs of issuing the equity instruments. If payment is deferred and the time value of money is material, the initial measurement is on a present value basis.
Defined contribution pension obligation
A defined contribution plan is a pension plan under which fixed contributions are paid into a pension fund and the company has no legal or constructive obligation to pay further contributions even if the fund does not hold sufficient assets to pay all employees the benefits relating to employee service in the current and prior periods.
Contributions to defined contribution plans are recognised as employee benefit expense when they are due. If contribution payments exceed the contribution due for service, the excess is recognised as a prepayment.
Employee benefits
The cost of any unused holiday entitlement is recognised in the period in which the employee's services are received.
