Direct Leisure Supplies Limited
Strategic report
Year ended 30 September 2024
Strategic Report for the year ended 30 September 2024
The directors recognise their duties under the Companies Act 2006 (Strategic Report and Directors' Report Regulations 2013). Having undertaken a review of the requirements of this legislation and on the basis that Direct Leisure Supplies Ltd is an unquoted company wholly owned by a parent company with 3 shareholders a limited report is provided. This is to reduce the risk of a detailed report on group activity being seriously prejudicial to the interests of the group.
REVIEW OF BUSINESS
The principal activities of the company during the year were design, manufacture and supply of injection moulded products along with supplementary sales of products sourced from suppliers. The principal markets served are the leisure vehicle market and medical supplies. These activities have not changed materially during the year. The company's activities remain organised into two distinct areas;
Direct Leisure Supplies Ltd - DLS Plastics: The design, manufacture and supply of products to serve the leisure vehicle market.
Direct Leisure Supplies Ltd - DLS Medical: The manufacture and supply of products for the single use medical supplies market.
The company has continued to maintain a wide range of activities to support customers. The sales of the company have decreased due to a significant downturn in the leisure industry.
Trading during the year resulted in an operating profit for the year of £1,495,216 (2023: £2,635,078). This is seen as a reasonable result. Total comprehensive income for the year (profit after tax) was £1,202,536 (2023: £2,733,830).
The statement of financial position on page 12 of the financial statements shows the net assets at £11,326,225 (2023: £12,303,689), the decrease being attributable to the movements in equity detailed on the statement of changes in equity.
A small number of key performance indicators are maintained to measure business performance. In addition to the usual ones such as sales and margins, as reported in the statement of comprehensive income, the company also monitors customers' orders on time. This year the key performance indicators reflect the social and economic challenges we are facing in the current times. Overall the business has performed well maintaining a good level of service to customers.
During the year work has continued to develop the internal administration systems and other improvements aimed at increasing productivity and efficiency.
BUSINESS RISK
The risks to the business are managed through the extensive use of ISO registered procedures and management thereof. The business has a history of generating profit and business development is funded from cashflow. Debtor default is a concern but careful attention and constant customer communication help to ameliorate this. The business has a wide customer base although historic consolidation in the leisure vehicle market has eroded this over time. During the year there was little evidence that this trend is continuing although the threat remains. The business has a small market share in the medical supplies area. Significant effort has been applied to improve trading margins rather than simply chase sales turnover. The company has sufficient reserves to shield it from the effects of adverse trading conditions. The company has a strong unencumbered asset base and a consequent opportunity to fund operations through borrowing should that be necessary.
Uncertainty over the UK domestic economy is a concern with the prospect of a disruptive government adding regulation and a higher tax burden to the business. In particular measures relating to employment of staff could lead to higher administration and further erosion of business competitiveness when compared with foreign competition. The folly of the UK's pursuit of "Net Zero" is a concern as ill thought out and illogical policies risk adding significant cost burdens to UK businesses when compared to foreign competitors.
Global unrest and political strife, the cost of living crisis, inflation are all concerns and risks to the business. The business is unable to directly affect any of these global phenomena. Consistent effort is put into evaluating external factors and managing the business accordingly.
Social media driven virtue signalling and ignorant political edicts are a threat to a business using high levels of energy and with the word "plastic" on its website. It is hoped that despite this some sense will prevail and the need for responsible, well managed UK manufacturing will remain. With the apparently feckless Labour Government now in power one is left wondering, "what's the point?"
DEVELOPMENT AND PERFORMANCE
Overall group performance demonstrates strong business resilience in adverse trading conditions. The management and staff continue to work hard to meet customer expectations, and ensure the business remains in a strong position and able to take advantage of new opportunities that emerge in the future.
AFTER DATE MATTERS
Activity is taking place to consolidate the group into two sites (from three). After the year end, Daneplast Limited moved its operations from its current premises into the premises of
Direct Leisure Supplies Limited
. The directors have carried out an impairment review at the year end and consider the carrying value to be materially correct.
This change will improve productivity and management effectiveness. The reduction in employee headcount and other costs (eg. business rates) will assist in ameliorating some of the punitive taxation and energy policies facing small businesses in the UK.
Otherwise, there were no material events to report.
Further information relating to future plans for the business is confidential.
This report was approved by the board of directors on 26 March 2025 and signed on behalf of the board by:
Mr GWL Brewis
Director
Direct Leisure Supplies Limited

Directors responsibilities statement
The directors are responsible for preparing the strategic report, directors 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), including Financial
Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland. 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 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 judgments and accounting estimates that are reasonable and prudent; 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.
Auditor
Each of the persons who is a director at the date of approval of this report confirms that:
-
so far as they are aware, there is no relevant audit information (as defined by Section 418 of the Companies Act 2006) of which the company's auditor is unaware; and - they have taken all steps that they ought to have taken as a director to make themselves aware of any relevant audit information and to establish that the company's auditor is aware of that information.
The auditor is deemed to have been re-appointed in accordance with section 487 of the Companies Act 2006.
Strategic Report
The company has chosen in accordance with the Companies Act 2006, section 414C(11) to set out in the company's Strategic report information required by Large and Medium-sized Companies and Groups (Accounts and Reports) regulations 2008, Sch 7 to be contained in the Directors report.
This report was approved by the board of directors on
26 March 2025
and signed on behalf of the board by:
Mr GWL Brewis
Director
Direct Leisure Supplies Limited
Independent auditor's report to the members of
Direct Leisure Supplies Limited
Year ended 30 September 2024
Opinion
We have audited the financial statements of Direct Leisure Supplies Limited (the 'company') for the year ended 30 September 2024 which comprise the statement of comprehensive income, statement of financial position, 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 FRS 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 auditor’s 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 other information comprises the information included in the strategic report and the directors' report, other than the financial statements and our auditor’s report thereon. The directors are responsible for the other information. 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 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 directors' report for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements; and
-
the strategic report and the 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 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 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 the 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 directors' responsibilities statement, 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's 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. 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: We gained an understanding of the legal and regulatory framework applicable to the company and the industry in which it operates and considered the risk of acts by the company that were contrary to applicable laws and regulations, including fraud. We designed audit procedures to respond to the risk, recognising that the risk of not detecting a material misstatement due to fraud is higher than the risk of not detecting one resulting from error, as fraud may involve deliberate concealment by, for example, forgery or intentional misrepresentations, or through collusion. We focused on laws and regulations which could give rise to a material misstatement in the financial statements, including, but not limited to, the Companies Act 2006 and UK tax legislation. Our tests included agreeing the financial statement disclosures to underlying supporting documentation and enquiries with management. There are inherent limitations in the audit procedures described above and, the further removed non-compliance with laws and regulations is from the events and transactions reflected in the financial statements, the less likely we would become aware of it. We did not identify any key audit matters relating to irregularities, including fraud. As in all our audits, we also addressed the risk of management override of internal controls, including testing journals and evaluating whether there was evidence of bias by the directors that represented a risk of material misstatement due to fraud. As part of an audit in accordance with ISAs (UK), we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. we also: - Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control. - Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the company's internal control. - Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by the directors. - Conclude on the appropriateness of the directors use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the company’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may cause the company to cease to continue as a going concern. - Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation (i.e gives a true and fair view).
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.
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 an auditors report 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.

Direct Leisure Supplies Limited
Notes to the financial statements
Year ended 30 September 2024
1.
General information
The company is a private company limited by shares, registered in England and Wales. The registered number is
01097551
and the address of the registered office is Direct Leisure Supplies Limited, Occupation Lane, Gonerby Moor, Grantham, Lincolnshire, NG32 2BP.
2.
Statement of compliance
These financial statements have been prepared in compliance with FRS 102, 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland' and the Companies Act 2006.
3.
Accounting policies
Basis of preparation
The financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis.
The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the entity.
Going concern
At the time of approving the financial statements the directors have a reasonable expectation that the company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus the directors continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.
Turnover
Turnover is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable for goods supplied, net of discounts and Value Added Tax.
Revenue from the sale of goods is recognised when the significant risks and rewards of ownership have transferred to the buyer (usually on despatch of the goods); the amount of revenue can be measured reliably; it is probable that the associated economic benefits will flow to the entity; and the costs incurred or to be incurred in respect of the transactions can be measured reliably.
Taxation
The taxation expense represents the aggregate amount of current and deferred tax recognised in the reporting period. Tax is recognised in the statement of comprehensive income, except to the extent that it relates to items recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in capital and reserves. In this case, tax is recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in capital and reserves, respectively. Current tax is recognised on taxable profit for the current and past periods. Current tax is measured at the amounts of tax expected to pay or recover using the tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date.
Deferred tax is recognised in respect of all timing differences at the reporting date. Unrelieved tax losses and other deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that they will be recovered against the reversal of deferred tax liabilities or other future taxable profits. Deferred tax is measured using the tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date that are expected to apply to the reversal of the timing difference.
Tangible assets
tangible assets are initially recorded at cost, and are subsequently stated at cost less any accumulated depreciation and impairment losses.
Depreciation
Depreciation is calculated so as to write off the cost of an asset, less its residual value, over the useful economic life of that asset as follows:
Freehold property
2.5
%
straight line
Plant and machinery
20
%
reducing balance
Fittings fixtures and equipment
15
%
reducing balance
Motor vehicles
20
%
reducing balance
Moulds & Tools
33
%
straight line
If there is an indication that there has been a significant change in depreciation rate, useful life or residual value of tangible assets, the depreciation is revised prospectively to reflect the new estimates.
Freehold land is not depreciated.
Fixed asset investments
Fixed asset investments are initially recorded at cost, and subsequently stated at cost less any accumulated impairment losses. Listed investments are measured at fair value with changes in fair value being recognised in profit or loss.
Impairment
A review for indicators of impairment is carried out at each reporting date, with the recoverable amount being estimated where such indicators exist. Where the carrying value exceeds the recoverable amount, the asset is impaired accordingly. Prior impairments are also reviewed for possible reversal at each reporting date. When it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, an estimate is made of the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs. The cash-generating unit is the smallest identifiable group of assets that includes the asset and generates cash inflows that are largely independent of the cash inflows from other assets or groups of assets
.
Stocks
Stocks are measured at the lower of cost and estimated selling price less costs to complete and sell. Cost includes all costs of purchase on a first in first out basis, costs of conversion and other costs incurred in bringing the stocks to their present location and condition.
Defined contribution plans
Contributions to defined contribution plans are recognised as an expense in the period in which the related service is provided. Prepaid contributions are recognised as an asset to the extent that the prepayment will lead to a reduction in future payments or a cash refund. When contributions are not expected to be settled wholly within 12 months of the end of the reporting date in which the employees render the related service, the liability is measured on a discounted present value basis. The unwinding of the discount is recognised in finance costs in profit or loss in the period in which it arises.
Group financial statements
The financial statements contain information about
Direct Leisure Supplies Limited
as an individual company and do not contain consolidated financial information as the parent of a group. The company is exempt under Section 400 of the Companies Act 2006 from the requirements to prepare consolidated financial statements as it and its subsidiary undertakings are included by full consolidation in the consolidated financial statements of its parent, DLS Holdings (Grantham) Limited. This is both the smallest and largest group in which Direct Leisure Supplies Limited
's accounts are consolidated.
Related party exemption
The company has taken advantage of exemption, under the terms of Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland', not to disclose related party transactions with wholly owned subsidiaries within the group, on the grounds that consolidated financial statements for the year ended 30 September 2024 of its parent company, DLS Holdings (Grantham) Limited, are publicly available.
Financial Reporting Standard 102 - reduced disclosure exemptions
The company has taken advantage of the following disclosure exemptions in preparing these financial statements, as permitted by FRS 102 "The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland": - the requirements of Section 7 Statement of Cash Flows.
Significant judgements and estimates
In preparing these financial statements, the directors have made the following judgements: - Estimated in respect of the freehold property the cost of the land element of the properties as at the date of purchase, estimated the useful economic life of the buildings, and estimated the residual value of the buildings (excluding land). - Estimated the cost of the labour and overheads which have been incurred in manufactured stock in order to correctly reflect the value of stock as at the year end.
- Estimated the recoverable amount for the investment in subsidiary undertakings as at the year end, following the impairment identified by the directors within the year
