STRATEGIC REPORT |
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2024 |
The directors present their strategic report for the year ended 30 September 2024. |
REVIEW OF BUSINESS |
The company continued it's principal activity throughout the current year in design, manufacture and installation of structural steelwork and architectural metalwork. |
As reported in the audited accounts, the annual turnover was £13,085,497 which is a slight decrease of 8% from the 2022/23 figure of £14,220,002 and yielded a gross profit of £3,285,891. |
High-cost inflation and interest rates have caused economic stagnation in the last few years which has provided challenges to the Construction Industry in the UK. This combined with legislative changes to the planning regulations and environmental factors has emanated in a general slow-down in the residential property sector. As a result, many property developers have delayed projects with some entire schemes being deferred. The effects of this were felt on large multi-phase sites where scheduled work was procured slower lengthening the 'order book to sales ledger' timescale. |
Considering the wider industry pressures, the directors are pleased to report that the business was able to consolidate it's position following the recovery in 2023. |
The housing sector is expected to continue to recover in 2025 with house prices and volumes increasing with the government targeting 1.5 million new homes in this term. House prices have begun to increase once again with a growth in 2024 of 4.7% and a further increase of 4% predicted for 2025. Falling Interest rates are expected to lead further recovery, and it is apparent that house builders are rapidly speeding up and bringing projects forward. |
The company covers a wide variety of work types and is constantly expanding product knowledge so this year we have been identifying which work we should target to maximise our output. With these markers now firmly pinpointed, we aim to focus on sustained growth maximising the value of our incredible customer portfolio and the brighter economic outlook as outlined above. |

STRATEGIC REPORT |
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2024 |
PRINCIPAL RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES |
Economic and Workload Uncertainties |
We recognise the main uncertainties and risks to our forward workload and profit margins is dictated by the general economic situation with increasing prices. |
Financial Risk Management |
The directors continually assess all potential risks to the business. This includes monitoring the short and longer term outlook for the residential construction sector as well as changes to regulations and wider economic factors that may impact the supply chain. |
Our key customers all provide invaluable insight in to housing sector performance and regular updates of upcoming projects. |
Continually improving our cost analysis procedures helps us to monitor contract profitability and provides vital data to assist with future tendering and identifying which project types and customers provide optimum productivity and profitability. |
Long term relationships with key suppliers provides us with forecasted information about any potential supply chain issues. Fluctuations is material costs are monitored continuously, and any information is used to adjust tender prices and assess fixed price terms. |
The company undertakes residential construction projects which often span more than one accounting period. The profit on these contracts is allocated over the period of the contract with financial shortfalls highlighted as soon as they become apparent. This process requires the company to estimate future profits on contracts which is monitored by way of quarterly job costing assessments. |
The overall financial performance is closely monitored with cash flow managed closely and strict credit control procedures in place. |
Other Risks |
At the present time, the directors consider the principal risk to the company to be in relation to cyber-attacks and are aware that there is an inherent risk in this area which is difficult to mitigate fully. However, the company continues to invest in protective technology and maintains a strong ethos of monitoring and awareness within departments which could be susceptible to such attacks. |

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; |
- | 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. |

REPORT OF THE DIRECTORS |
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2024 |
AUDITORS |
The auditors, Lakeview Southern Audit 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 |
WILTECH ENGINEERING LIMITED |
Opinion |
We have audited the financial statements of Wiltech Engineering Limited (the 'company') for the year ended 30 September 2024 which comprise the Income Statement, Other Comprehensive Income, Balance Sheet, Statement of Changes in Equity, Cash Flow Statement and Notes to the Cash Flow Statement, Notes to the Financial Statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards, including Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland' (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice). |
In our opinion the financial statements: |
- | give a true and fair view of the state of the company's affairs as at 30 September 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 |
WILTECH ENGINEERING 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 four, 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. |
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 considered the central laws and regulations to the entity and identified those being of significance. We undertook an enquiry of management and those charged with governance to evaluate those of significance and any instances of non-compliance. |
Through discussion and, where appropriate, written representation we obtained an understanding of the entity's policies and procedures in relation to fraud risks, including knowledge of any actual, suspected or alleged fraud. |
The Senior Statutory Auditor has assessed that the engagement team collectively have the appropriate competence and capabilities to identify or recognise non-compliance with laws and regulations within the areas that they are responsible for testing. |
Where necessary, documentation scrutiny was used to determine the significance of any instances with non-compliance of central laws and regulations and reviewed disclosures made in the financial statements to ensure these were appropriately made. We also reviewed the journals processed by the finance team and reviewed all transactions outside the normal course of the entity's business. |
We 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. |
Irregularities that result from fraud are inherently more difficult to detect from irregularities that result from error. |
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 |

1. | STATUTORY INFORMATION |
Wiltech Engineering Limited is a |
The company principal place if business is Kingsnorth Industrial Estate, Hoo, Rochester ME3 9ND. |
2. | ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
Basis of preparing the financial statements |
Turnover |
Turnover represents net invoiced sales of steel fabrication and welding, excluding value added tax. This is mostly in the form of long term contracts see further information within Amounts Recoverable on Contracts Policy. |
Tangible fixed assets |
Freehold property | - |
Improvements to property | - |
Plant and machinery | - |
Fixtures & fittings | - |
Motor vehicles | - |
Office equipment | - |
Tangible fixed assets are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. For freehold property, only the buildings element of the property is depreciated. Land is held at cost. |
Stocks |
Stocks are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value, after making due allowance for obsolete and slow moving items. |
Financial instruments |
Financial liabilities and equity instruments are classified according to the substance of the contractual arrangements entered into. An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of the entity after deducting all of its financial liabilities. |
Where the contractual obligations of financial instruments (including share capital) are equivalent to a similar debt instrument, those financial instruments are classified as financial liabilities. Financial liabilities are presented as such in the balance sheet. Finance costs and gains and losses relating to financial liabilities are included in the profit and loss account. Finance costs are calculated so as to produce a constant rate of return on the outstanding liability. |
Where the contractual terms of share capital do not have any terms meeting the definition of a financial liability then this is classed as an equity instrument. Dividends and distributions relating to equity instruments are debited direct to equity. |

2. | ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued |
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. |
Research and development |
Expenditure on research and development is expensed in the year in which it is incurred. |
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. |
Amounts recoverable on contracts |
Amounts recoverable on contracts, which are included in debtors, are stated at the net sales value of the work done after provision for contingencies and anticipated future losses on contracts, less amounts received as progress payments on account. Excess progress payments are included in creditors as payments on account. |
The profit on these contracts is allocated over the period of the contract with financial shortfalls highlighted as soon as they become apparent. This process requires the company to estimate future profits on contracts. Whilst these are estimates they are calculated by experienced project managers and verified by the directors within the business. There are clear processes and procedures in place to ensure that from the start to project completion, the project margin is constantly monitored and reviewed. |
The directors assess the stage of part completed works by reference to the amount of work still to be done and attributing a percentage to use against sales value and ensuring costs are included to the same point. |
Hire purchase and leasing commitments |
Assets obtained under hire purchase contracts are capitalised as tangible fixed assets. These are depreciated over their useful lives. Obligations under such agreements are included in creditors net of the finance charge allocated to future periods. The finance element of the rental payment is charged to the profit and loss account so as to produce a constant periodic rate of charge on the net obligation outstanding in each period. |
Rentals applicable to operating leases where substantially all of the benefits and risks of ownership remain with the lessor are charged to profit and loss account on a straight line basis. |

Share based payments |
The company recognises share-based payment transactions in accordance with applicable accounting standards. |
Equity-settled Share-based Payments: The fair value of equity instruments granted is recognised as an expense over the vesting period, with a corresponding increase in equity. |
Cash-settled Share-based Payments: The fair value of the liability incurred is recognised as an expense over the vesting period, with adjustments for changes in fair value. |
3. | CRITICAL ACCOUNTING JUDGEMENTS AND KEY SOURCES OF ESTIMATION UNCERTAINTY |
The company is involved in construction projects which span more than one accounting period. The profit on these contracts is allocated over the period of the contract with financial shortfalls highlighted as soon as they become apparent. This process requires the company to estimate future profits on contracts. Whilst these are estimates, they are calculated by our experienced contact managers and verified by directors within the business. These are clear processes and procedures in place to ensure that from the very start of the tendering process to project completion, the project margin is constantly monitored and reviewed. |
