GROUP STRATEGIC REPORT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024
The directors present their strategic report for the year ended 31 December 2024.
The business has maintained its strong financial strength throughout 2024 and continues to out-perform our
competitors, particularly, within two of the strongest construction industry sectors, Healthcare and Further & Higher Education. We have positioned the business to take full advantage of the most profitable sectors, with 75% of our turnover being generated from the healthcare, higher & further education and school sectors. We have aligned our supply chain with our business plan and vision which translates into exceptional project delivery and a high percentage of repeat business. We continue to look for opportunities to develop long-term relationships with our clients both on bespoke projects and long-term Framework Agreements. Some of our notable key accounts include Royal Holloway University London, the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, Hertfordshire CC, University of London and various NHS Trusts. Succession Planning During 2024, the business saw some changes at Board level. In April, Mark Hickson stepped down as Joint Managing Director and Rob Wishart became the new Managing Director. At the same time, Kevin O’Dell retired as Director and both Dave Fogarty and Alex Blackhurst joined the Board of Directors with a primary focus on the General Contracting division. This handover has been seamless and significant milestone for the business, which is continuing to out-perform its competitors and is in a very strong position to build upon our success. Adding Value to the Business We have continued to invest in our head office and during 2024. Beyond increasing the value of our asset, the enhancements have created a more comfortable and modern working environment, reinforcing our commitment to supporting our staff and fostering productivity. We continue to invest in the development of our staff: • We invested over £127k (3,568 hours) in training during 2024 • We have appointed 8 new members of staff and made 9 internal promotions to ensure we meet our business goals for 2024 and beyond • Continued investment in T&B’s Training Development Scheme, which includes 1 Trade Apprentice, 9 site staff taking their NVQs and 4 studying for their degrees • We also offered 5 students Work Experience and Work Placements
The business posted a £52.9m turnover (against a predicted £57m) and an excellent profit before tax of £2m
(against a predicted £712k). As of March 2025, we have a healthy Work in Hand (WIH) total of £35m with a healthy number of enquiries for the first two quarters. This is a reflection of the success of our commitment to our Business Plan objectives and the confidence our clients have in T&B.

GROUP STRATEGIC REPORT (CONTINUED)
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024
The Construction Market remains uncertain and we must still be aware of:
• The industry using onerous T&Cs and single stage design & build procurement routes • Increased cost of labour and materials • Skills shortages within the supply chain and for technical staff
Our 2024 performance was measured via the following KPIs:
1. Customer Satisfaction is currently at 9.5 out of 10 which is similar to 2023 2. Staff Satisfaction (Investors in People survey) an average of 91% agreement against the three main indicators: Leading; Supporting and Improving 3. Training days were increased to 4 per employee
Our priority in 2025 is to continue to build upon the success of the last 3 years and to maintain the long-term and
stable relationships the business has with its clients and supply chain. To support this, we will continue to meet the challenges of the economy and the Construction Industry by embracing change to strengthen the business and offer our clients a better alternative to our competitors. For example, the Building Safety Act has been described as the most significant change to construction legislation in a generation. The process review will update our procedures in line with the Building Safety Act and during 2025 and we will work with the Chartered Institute of Building (CIOB) as a training partner to deliver Building Safety Act Training for all staff.
The directors have had due regard for their duty to promote the success of the Company for the benefit of its
members as a whole. The directors carefully consider the consequences of all investments or projects, ensuring they are fully planned and costed, taking account of the potential financial returns as well as the wider impacts on the business and the environment. The Company's operations continually strive for the minimum environmental impact and supports local charities within the community. The directors take into account the interest of employees by continually keeping them informed and with any decisions made, the impact on the employees of the business is considered. Regular meetings are held which are open to all members of the Company to ensure a fair and transparent process that keeps all members informed equally. The directors are committed to the highest quality of services. This is achieved by regular quality assurance testing and ensuring that the company is in line with the latest in quality standards and engaging with the relevant accreditation board to ensure we are always on the forefront. The directors are aware of both their own and the Company’s duties and responsibilities under the Bribery Act 2010 and act appropriately.

In preparing these financial statements, the directors are required to:
∙select suitable accounting policies for the Group's financial statements and then apply them consistently;
∙make judgments and accounting estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
∙state whether applicable UK Accounting Standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements;

They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the Company and the Group and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024
The installation of a solar photovoltaic panel array on the roof of the head office enabled us to switch from gas
heating to electric heating within the office, which has reduced the carbon intensity of office-related heating emissions. Method of calculations: T&B (Contractors) Holdings Ltd continues to follow the requirements of the Streamlined Energy and Carbon Reporting (SECR) Regulations. We use a custom calculation tool which shows the methodology behind each calculation and utilises the government’s conversion factor datasets for reporting of greenhouse gas emissions, sourced from: https://www.gov.uk/government /collections /government-conversion -factors-for-company -reporting) and updated annually so that each year's calculations use that year's conversion factors.
Directors’ liability and indemnity insurance was in force throughout the year to cover the directors and officers of
the company against action brought against them in their personal capacity. Neither the insurance nor the indemnity provide cover where the individual has acted fraudulently or dishonestly.
The auditor previously traded through the legal entity MacIntyre Hudson LLP. In response to regulatory changes,
MacIntyre Hudson LLP ceased to hold an audit registration with engagement transitioning to MHA Audit Services LLP. MHA will be proposed for reappointment in accordance with section 485 of the Companies Act 2006.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF T & B (CONTRACTORS) HOLDINGS LIMITED
We have audited the financial statements of T & B (Contractors) Holdings Limited (the 'parent Company') and its subsidiaries (the 'Group') for the year ended 31 December 2024, which comprise the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income, the Consolidated Balance Sheet, the Company Balance Sheet, the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows, the Consolidated Statement of Changes in Equity, the Company Statement of Changes in Equity and the related notes, 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).
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's responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the Group in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the United Kingdom, including the Financial Reporting Council'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.
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 Group's or the parent 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.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF T & B (CONTRACTORS) HOLDINGS LIMITED (CONTINUED)
The other information comprises the information included in the Annual Report other than the financial statements and our Auditor's Report thereon. The directors are responsible for the other information contained within the Annual Report. 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. 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 course of 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.
In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of the audit:
∙the information given in the Group Strategic Report and the Directors' Report for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements; and
∙the Group Strategic Report and the Directors' Report have been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements.
In the light of the knowledge and understanding of the Group and the parent Company and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the Group Strategic Report or the Directors' Report.

T & B (CONTRACTORS) HOLDINGS LIMITED
INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF T & B (CONTRACTORS) HOLDINGS LIMITED (CONTINUED)
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 Group financial statements.
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 extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below:
•Enquiry of management and those charged with governance around actual and potential litigation and claims;
• Performing audit work over the risk of management override of controls, including testing of journal entries and other adjustments for appropriateness, evaluating the business rationale of significant transactions outside the normal course of business and reviewing accounting estimates for bias; • Reviewing minutes of meetings of those charged with governance; • Reviewing financial statement disclosures and testing to supporting documentation to assess compliance with applicable laws and regulations.
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 Auditor's Report.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024
T & B (Contractors) Holdings Limited is a private company, limited by shares, incorporated in England and Wales. The registered office and principal place of business is Riverside House, 1 Place Farm, Wheathampstead, St Albans, Hertfordshire, AL4 8SB.
2.Accounting policies
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention unless otherwise specified within these accounting policies and in accordance with Financial Reporting Standard 102, the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and the Republic of Ireland and the Companies Act 2006.
The Company has taken advantage of the exemption allowed under section 408 of the Companies Act 2006 and has not presented its own Statement of Comprehensive Income in these financial statements.
The financial statements are presented in sterling (£), the functional currency, rounded to the nearest £1.
The preparation of financial statements in compliance with FRS 102 requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise judgment in applying the Group's accounting policies (see note 3). The following principal accounting policies have been applied:
The consolidated financial statements present the results of Group and its own subsidiaries ("the Group") as they form a single entity drawn up to 31 December. Intercompany transactions and balances between group companies are therefore eliminated in full.
The consolidated financial statements incorporate the results of business combinations using the purchase method. In the Balance sheet, the acquiree's identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities are initially recognised at their fair values at the acquisition date. The results of acquired operations are included in the Consolidated statement of comprehensive income from the date on which control is obtained. They are deconsolidated from the date control ceases.
After reviewing the Group's forecasts and projections, the directors have a reasonable expectation that the group has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the forseeable future. The Group therefore continues to adopt the going concern basis in preparing its consolidated financial statements.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024
2.Accounting policies (continued)
At each reporting date the Group assesses whether there is any indication of impairment. If such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is determined which is the higher of its fair value less costs to sell and its value in use. An impairment loss is recognised where the carrying amount exceeds the recoverable amount.
The Group adds to the carrying amount of an item of fixed assets the cost of replacing part of such an item when that cost is incurred, if the replacement part is expected to provide incremental future benefits to the Group. The carrying amount of the replaced part is derecognised. Repairs and maintenance are charged to profit or loss during the period in which they are incurred.
Depreciation is charged so as to allocate the cost of assets less their residual value over their estimated useful lives, using the straight-line method.
Depreciation is provided on the following basis:
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 profit or loss.
Individual freehold and leasehold properties are carried at current year value at fair value at the date of the revaluation less any subsequent accumulated depreciation and subsequent accumulated impairment losses. Revaluations are undertaken with sufficient regularity to ensure the carrying amount does not differ materially from that which would be determined using fair value at the balance sheet date. Accordingly, no depreciation has been charged.
Fair values are determined from market based evidence normally undertaken by professionally qualified valuers, or by the directors. Revaluation gains and losses are recognised in other comprehensive income unless losses exceed the previously recognised gains or reflect a clear consumption of economic benefits, in which case the excess losses are recognised in profit or loss.

2.Accounting policies (continued)
An entity is treated as an associated undertaking where the Group exercises significant influence in that it has the power to participate in the operating and financial policy decisions.
Fixed asset investments in associates and joint ventures are held at cost less impairment.
Amounts recoverable on long term 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. All costs to accrue are included within trade creditors. Unbilled retentions have been recognised in turnover in the profit and loss account.
Materials held at the year end for specific contracts are included at the lower of cost and net realisable value within amounts recoverable on contracts. These are released at net realisable value once the work is invoiced.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024
2.Accounting policies (continued)
Provisions are measured as the best estimate of the amount required to settle the obligation, taking into account the related risks and uncertainties.
The Group has elected to apply the provisions of Section 11 “Basic Financial Instruments” of FRS 102 to all of its financial instruments.
Financial instruments are recognised in the Group's Balance Sheet when the Group becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.
Financial assets and liabilities are offset, with the net amounts presented in the financial statements, when there is a legally enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.
Basic financial assets
Basic financial assets, which include trade and other receivables, cash and bank balances, are initially measured at their transaction price including transaction costs and are subsequently carried at their amortised cost using the effective interest method, less any provision for impairment, unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the transaction is measured at the present value of the future receipts discounted at a market rate of interest.
Discounting is omitted where the effect of discounting is immaterial. The Group's cash and cash equivalents, trade and most other receivables due with the operating cycle fall into this category of financial instruments.
Impairment of financial assets
Financial assets are assessed for indicators of impairment at each reporting date.
Financial assets are impaired when events, subsequent to their initial recognition, indicate the estimated future cash flows derived from the financial asset(s) have been adversely impacted. The impairment loss will be the difference between the current carrying amount and the present value of the future cash flows at the asset(s) original effective interest rate.
If there is a favourable change in relation to the events surrounding the impairment loss then the impairment can be reviewed for possible reversal. The reversal will not cause the current carrying amount to exceed the original carrying amount had the impairment not been recognised. The impairment reversal is recognised in the profit or loss.
Financial liabilities
Financial liabilities and equity instruments are classified according to the substance of the contractual arrangements entered into. An equity instruments any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of the Group after the deduction of all its liabilities.

2.Accounting policies (continued)
Basic financial liabilities, which include trade and other payables, bank loans, other loans and loans due to fellow group companies are initially measured at their transaction price after transaction costs. When this constitutes a financing transaction, whereby the debt instrument is measured at the present value of the future receipts discounted at a market rate of interest. Discounting is omitted where the effect of discounting is immaterial.
Debt instruments are subsequently carried at their amortised cost using the effective interest rate method.
Trade payables are obligations to pay for goods and services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of business from suppliers. Trade payables are classified as current liabilities if the payment is due within one year. If not, they represent non-current liabilities. Trade payables are initially recognised at their transaction price and subsequently are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Discounting is omitted where the effect of discounting is immaterial.
