STRATEGIC REPORT |
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2024 |
The directors present their strategic report for the year ended 30 June 2024. |
INTRODUCTION |
Royde & Tucker Limited is the principal trading business in the group. |
BUSINESS REVIEW |
This review covers a 12-month period. Turnover for the respective 12-month period is as follows: |
12 Months | 12 Months |
to 30/6/24 | to 30/6/23 |
Turnover | £5,989,106 | £6,022,981 |
Cost of Sales | (£3,479,084 | ) | (£3,440,845 | ) |
Trading remained in line with the preceding equivalent period. However, economic conditions due to macroeconomic uncertainties have both directly and indirectly impacted confidence and investment in the construction sector. This in conjunction with increasing material, energy and labour costs have collectively impacted revenues and margins. Cost increases have been in part offset by price increases and ongoing cost reductions. The business has a strong asset base, a unique product proposition, a strong brand portfolio and a committed workforce. Together with continued shareholder support, investment in ERP, process improvements and NPD, the business remains in a good position to weather these storms and continues towards sustained growth in revenue and profitability. Based on rigorous assessment of the company's financial position and future prospects, the Board affirms its confidence in the business's viability and confirms its status as a going concern. |
PRINCIPAL RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES |
The principal risks facing the business continue to relate to the general economic environment, consumer confidence, construction onsite labour availability and input material costs. However, as a business we enter the new financial year with a healthy order book and steady monthly revenues. Our direct markets remain healthy, although order intake is driven by the quantity of construction work at the final-fix stage and is sometimes irregular. |
FINANCIAL & OTHER KEY PERFORMANCE INDICATORS |
Revenue, Gross Profit and Health & Safety Performance are the primary KPl's used by the directors to monitor the financial position and overall performance of the business and the impact of dynamically managed selling prices and cost reduction plans. |
Jun-24 | Jun-23 | Change |
Revenue (£ 's) | 5,989 | 6,022 | -0.5% |
Gross Profit % | 42% | 43% | -1% |

DIRECTORS |
The directors shown below have held office during the whole of the period from 1 July 2023 to the date of this report. |

ENGAGEMENT WITH EMPLOYEES |
The Company keeps employees informed of matters affecting them as employees and the financial economic factors affecting the performance of the Company by the method of relevant internal communications media. |
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. |
DISCLOSURE OF INFORMATION TO AUDITORS |
Each of the persons who are directors at the time when this Directors' Report is approved has confirmed that: |
- so far as the director is aware, there is no relevant audit information of which the Company and the Group's auditors are unaware, and |
- the director has taken all the steps that ought to have been taken as a director in order to be aware of any relevant audit information and to establish that the Company and the Group's auditors are aware of that information. |
ROYDE & TUCKER LIMITED (REGISTERED NUMBER: 00531276) |
REPORT OF THE DIRECTORS |
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2024 |
AUDITORS |
The auditors, Fruition Advisory LLP, 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 |
ROYDE & TUCKER LIMITED |
Qualified Opinion |
We have audited the financial statements of Royde & Tucker Limited (the 'company') for the year ended 30 June 2024 which comprise the Statement of Income and Retained Earnings, Balance Sheet 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, except for the effects of the matter described in the Basis for qualified opinion section, 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 loss 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 qualified opinion |
We were unable to obtain sufficient audit evidence to ascertain the correctness of valuation of the inventory as at the date of the Financial statements and there was no alternative audit procedures that we could perform to satisfy ourselves as to whether the inventory on the Financial Statements were free from material misstatement. |
As a result of these matters, we were unable to determine whether any adjustments might have been necessary and required to be made in respect of inventory as at 30 June 2024; and in respect of the impact on the Statement of Income. |
It should be noted that management has made significant improvements to the stock system during the year and that the weakness in obtaining sufficient audit evidence did not relate to quantity but was limited to the complexity in valuation of component materials. |
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. |
REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE MEMBERS OF |
ROYDE & TUCKER LIMITED |
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. |
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 three, 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 |
ROYDE & TUCKER 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: |
Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design procedures in line with our responsibilities, outlined above, to detect material misstatements in respect of irregularities, including fraud. The objectives of our audit are to obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding compliance with laws and regulations that have a direct effect on the determination of material amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, to perform audit procedures to help identify instances of non-compliance with other laws and regulations that may have a material effect on the financial statements, and to respond appropriately to identified or suspected non-compliance with laws and regulations identified during the audit. |
In relation to fraud, the objectives of our audit are to identify and assess the risk of material misstatement of the financial statements due to fraud, to obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the assessed risks of material misstatement due to fraud through designing and implementing appropriate responses and to respond appropriately to fraud or suspected fraud identified during the audit. However, it is the primary responsibility of management, with the oversight of those charged with governance, to ensure that the entity's operations are conducted in accordance with the provisions of laws and regulations and for the prevention and detection of 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 assessing risks of material misstatement in respect of irregularities, including fraud and non-compliance with laws and regulations, we considered the following: |
- the nature of the industry and sector, control environment and business performance including the design of the Company remuneration policies, key drivers for directors' remuneration, bonus levels and performance targets; |
- results of our enquiries of management about their own identification and assessment of the risks of irregularities; |
- any matters we identified having obtained and reviewed the Company 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 relevant internal specialists, including tax specialists, 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 and identified the greatest potential for fraud in relation to compliance with laws and regulations. In common with all audits under ISAs (UK), we are also required to perform specific procedures to respond to the risk 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 tax legislation. |
REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE MEMBERS OF |
ROYDE & TUCKER LIMITED |
In addition, we considered provisions of other laws and regulations that do not have a direct effect on the financial statements but compliance with which may be fundamental to the Company ability to operate or to avoid a material penalty. These included compliance with GDPR regulation. |
Audit response to risks identified: |
As a result of performing the above, we identified compliance with laws and regulations as a key audit matter 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; reading minutes of meetings of those charged with governance and reviewing internal reports; |
- obtaining an understanding of provisions and held discussions with management to understand the basis of recognition or non-recognition of tax provisions; and |
- in addressing the risk 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 a 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 including internal specialists, and remained alert to any indications of fraud or noncompliance with laws and regulations throughout the audit. |
Because of the inherent limitations of an audit, there is a risk that we will not detect all irregularities, including those leading to a material misstatement in the financial statements or non-compliance with regulation. This risk increases the more that compliance with a law or regulation is removed from the events and transactions reflected in the financial statements, as we will be less likely to become aware of instances of non-compliance. The risk is also greater regarding irregularities occurring due to fraud rather than error, as fraud involves intentional concealment, forgery, collusion, omission or misrepresentation. |
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 JUNE 2024 |
2. | ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued |
Intangible assets |
Intangible assets are initially recognised at cost. After recognition, under the cost model, intangible assets are measured at cost less any accumulated amortisation and any accumulated impairment losses. |
All intangible assets are considered to have a finite useful life. If a reliable estimate of the useful life cannot be made, the useful life shall not exceed ten years. |
Amortisation is provided on the following bases: |
Computer Software - 25 % reducing balance |
Tangible fixed assets |
Tangible fixed assets under the cost model are stated at historical cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses. Historical cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to bringing the asset to the location and condition necessary for it to be capable of operating in the manner intended by management. |
Depreciation is charged so as to allocate the cost of assets less their residual value over their estimated useful lives, on a reducing balance basis. |
Depreciation is provided on the following basis: |
Plant and machinery - 15% reducing balance |
Motor vehicles - 25% reducing balance |
Computer equipment - 25% reducing balance |
The assets' residual values, useful lives and depreciation methods are reviewed, and adjusted prospectively if appropriate, or if there is an indication of a significant change since the last reporting date. |
Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing the proceeds with the carrying amount and are recognised in Statement of Income and Retained Earnings. |
Stocks |
Stocks are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value, being the estimated selling price less costs to complete and sell. Cost is based on the cost of purchase on a standard costing basis. Work in progress and finished goods include labour and attributable overheads. |
At each balance sheet date, stocks are assessed for impairment. If stock is impaired, the carrying amount is reduced to its selling price less costs to complete and sell. The impairment loss is recognised immediately in Statement of Income and Retained Earnings. |
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, loans to related parties and investments in ordinary shares. |
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 Statement of Income and Retained Earnings. |

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2024 |
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 balances are recognised in respect of all timing differences that have originated but not reversed by the balance sheet date, except that: |
• The recognition of deferred tax assets is limited to the extent that it is probable that they will be recovered against the reversal of deferred tax liabilities or other future taxable profits; and |
• Any deferred tax balances are reversed if and when all conditions for retaining associated tax allowances have been met. |
Deferred tax balances are not recognised in respect of permanent differences except in respect of business combinations, when deferred tax is recognised on the differences between the fair values of assets acquired and the future tax deductions available for them and the differences between the fair values of liabilities acquired and the amount that will be assessed for tax. Deferred tax is determined using tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date. |
Research and development |
Research expenditure is written off against profits in the year in which it is incurred. Identifiable development expenditure is capitalised to the extent that the technical, commercial and financial feasibility can be demonstrated. |
Foreign currency translation |
Functional and presentation currency |
The Company's functional and presentational currency is GBP. |
Transactions and balances |
Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the spot exchange rates at the dates of the transactions. |
At each period end foreign currency monetary items are translated using the closing rate. Nonmonetary items measured at historical cost are translated using the exchange rate at the date of the transaction and non-monetary items measured at fair value are measured using the exchange rate when fair value was determined. |
Foreign exchange gains and losses that relate to borrowings and cash and cash equivalents are presented in the Statement of Income and Retained Earnings within 'finance income or costs'. All other foreign exchange gains and losses are presented in profit or loss within 'other operating income'. |
Pension costs and other post-retirement benefits |
The Company operates a defined contribution plan for its employees. A defined contribution plan is a pension plan under which the Company pays fixed contributions into a separate entity. Once the contributions have been paid the Company has no further payment obligations. |
The contributions are recognised as an expense in Statement of Income and Retained Earnings when they fall due. Amounts not paid are shown in accruals as a liability in the Balance Sheet. The assets of the plan are held separately from the Company in independently administered funds. |

Going concern |
The directors have prepared projected budgets and on the basis of these budgets, the directors have considered the company to continue to operate as a going concern. The directors are confident that the company will have sufficient funds to meet its liabilities as they fall due for a period of not less than 12 months from the date of approval of these financial statements. |
The directors continue to monitor cashflow closely and exercise tight credit control and, based on their forecasts and built up reserves, consider it appropriate to prepare the financial statements on a going concern basis and do not include any adjustments that would result if the company was not able to continue as a going concern. |
Debtors |
Short term debtors are measured at transaction price, less any impairment. |
Creditors |
Short term creditors are measured at the transaction price. |
Provisions for liabilities |
Provisions are made where an event has taken place that gives the Company a legal or constructive obligation that probably requires settlement by a transfer of economic benefit, and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation. |
Provisions are charged as an expense to Statement of Income and Retained Earnings in the year that the Company becomes aware of the obligation, and are measured at the best estimate at the balance sheet date of the expenditure required to settle the obligation, taking into account relevant risks and uncertainties. |
When payments are eventually made, they are charged to the provision carried in the Balance Sheet. |

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 significant |
judgements, estimates and assumptions. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on |
historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be |
reasonable under the circumstances. Although these estimates are based on management's best |
knowledge of the amount, events or actions, actual results ultimately may differ from those estimates. |
Estimates and judgements are continually evaluated. 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 revision and future periods where the revision affects both current and future periods. |
Details of the Company's significant accounting judgements and critical accounting estimates include: |
Tangible fixed assets |
Each year the Company reviews the estimated useful lives and residual values of tangible fixed assets |
and these are adjusted if appropriate. The depreciation rates are calculated according to the useful |
economic life that management believe to be appropriate based on the nature of the asset in operation. |
Impairment of stock and work in progress |
Management have assessed the need to write off or provide against any specific items based on the |
levels held at period end and the expected sales of such items in the immediate period post year end. |
Management take into account historic sales data at the date the estimate is made. |
Impairment of trade debtors |
The recoverability of trade debtors has been assessed at the year end and up until the date of signing |
these financial statements. Management have based the decision to provide for any amounts based on |
their judgement of all the available information and their experience of the specific nature of the trade |
debtor in question. |

25. | SHARE-BASED PAYMENT TRANSACTIONS |
The company operates an Option Incentive (EMI Option Incentive Plan) which is an equity settled share based remuneration scheme for certain employees. |
Options are exercisable at a price equal to the estimated fair value of the shares on the date of the grant. The options are granted under the scheme and are exercisable if there are certain exit events. If the options remain unexercised after a period of ten years from the date of grant, the option expire. The only other vesting condition is that the employees remain in employment through the vesting period. |
Details of the share options outstanding during the year are as follows: |
30 June 2024 | 30 June 2024 |
Weighted average exercise price (pence | ) | Number |
Outstanding at the beginning of the year | 83.25 | 240 |
Granted during the year | - | - |
Expired during the year | 83.25 | (150 | ) |
Outstanding at the end of the year | 83.25 | 90 |
150 of the total options expired during the year due to meeting the vesting conditions. None of the other 90 options outstanding at the end of the year had vested and were exercisable at the year end. |
As at 30 June 2024, the company believes that it is not probable that there will be a successful exit event within the remaining service period, and therefore the number of equity instruments expected to vest is nil. As a result, no accounting entries have been recognised. |
