STRATEGIC REPORT
For The Year Ended 31 October 2024

The directors present their strategic report for the year ended 31 October 2024.

REVIEW OF BUSINESS
The key financial highlights of the group are as follows:
2024 2023 2022
£ £ £

Turnover 11,559,204 11,470,307 11,378,054
Gross profit 2,680,248 2,351,580 2,574,581

% % %
Turnover growth 0.78 0.81 40.45
Gross profit margin 23.19 20.50 22.63


In September 2023, we expanded our operations by acquiring an additional unit on Batten Road, adjacent to our existing premises. This strategic investment was made to support future growth and enhance our overall capacity. The new facility became fully operational in January 2024 and has since played a key role in streamlining our processes, enabling us to better meet and exceed our client expectations.

Our commitment to quality remains at the forefront of everything we do. In recognition of this, we were proud to achieve ISO 9001 accreditation in September 2024 - a testament to our dedication to maintaining the highest standards in quality assurance and continuous improvement.

PRINCIPAL RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES
The board considers risk management an important aspect in developing the business, allowing management to make informed decisions and be adequately prepared for uncertainties and eventualities that may come in the way of progress and growth. The principal risks and uncertainties of the group are identified are as follows:

Economic risk
The board continually monitors economic risk whereby negative economic market conditions may affect the group's operations. This is extremely prevalent in the current economy which in recent times has seen Brexit, Covid-19 and the war in Ukraine, resulting in high inflation and a rise in raw materials, energy prices and production costs.

The impact of economic conditions are carefully managed through close engagement with our supply chain to safeguard the business from input price inflation.

Compliance risk
The board recognises the potentially hazardous industry in which the group operates whereby accidents could result in reputational damage and financial loss. We are therefore committed to the ongoing process of meeting the highest health and safety standards through continually investing in PPE, providing initial and ongoing training to all workers, and promoting a safety culture that creates a safe and efficient working environment for all.

Operational risk
Our ethos is to produce steel work that exceeds all of our clients expectations and are proud to have a long standing reputation within the industry. Failure to continually meet these high standards could result in reputational damage, financial loss and loss of future custom.

In our commitment to quality assurance, we hold a number of accreditation as follows:

Certificate of Factory Production Control (FPC) BS EN 1090-1: 2009 + A1: 2011
Welding Certificate BS EN 1090-2: 2018
Welding Quality Management System to BS EN ISO 3834-3
Weld procedures to BS EN 288-3
Welders qualified to BS EN ISO 9606-1
Steel Construction Scheme Certificate to BS EN ISO 9001:2015


TOOMERS LIMITED (REGISTERED NUMBER: 04005968)

STRATEGIC REPORT
For The Year Ended 31 October 2024

PRINCIPAL RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES
Financial risk
The group's operations expose it to a variety of financial risks that include the effects of credit risk and interest rate fluctuations on company debt.

Bad debt on sales invoices raised detrimentally effects the cash flow and ultimate profitability of the group. This is mitigated through knowing our customers, continually determining their credit worthiness and setting appropriate credit limits. The impact of bad debt is further mitigated through our extensive order book with a low level of customer concentration.

Fluctuating interest rates can potentially give the group uncertainty over the amount of debt servicing cash payments. We have reduced our exposure to the rise in short-term interest rates through borrowing at a fixed rate of interest on the majority of group debt.

Mrs J R Bellinger

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 or she ought to have taken as a director in order to make himself or herself aware of any relevant audit information and to establish that the company's auditors are aware of that information.

AUDITORS
The auditors, Schofields, will be proposed for re-appointment at the forthcoming Annual General Meeting.

ON BEHALF OF THE BOARD:





Mr R P Toomer - Director


12 May 2025

REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE MEMBERS OF
TOOMERS LIMITED

Opinion
We have audited the financial statements of Toomers Limited (the 'company') for the year ended 31 October 2024 which comprise the Statement of Comprehensive Income, Balance Sheet, Statement of Changes in Equity and Notes to the Financial Statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards, including Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland' (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).

In our opinion the financial statements:
-give a true and fair view of the state of the company's affairs as at 31 October 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.

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.

REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE MEMBERS OF
TOOMERS LIMITED


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:

An understanding of the legal and regulatory framework the company operates in was obtained through discussions with directors and other management in addition to our general industry and sector experience. The most significant laws and regulations identified, being those that have a direct effect on material amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, are FRS 102, Companies Act 2006 and HM Revenue & Customs (HMRC) Tax Legislation.

We also considered 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's ability to operate, or to avoid material penalty. These included the requirements of the various Health and Safety Regulations.

Audit procedures were performed to obtain sufficient evidence regarding compliance. These procedures include making enquiries to directors and other management in addition to the inspection of applicable regulatory and legal correspondence. Financial statement disclosures were reviewed and tested to supporting documentation.

Enquiries were also made to the directors and other management to assess the company's internal control environment and their policies and procedures on fraud risk. The company's systems and controls were documented, and audit procedures were designed to test these controls. Further, the risk of management override of controls was addressed through testing journal entries and other adjustments for appropriateness. The judgements made in making accounting estimates were assessed for any indication of potential bias, and the business rationale of significant transactions outside the normal course of the business was evaluated.

We have properly planned and performed the audit in accordance with auditing standards and all members of the engagement team have the appropriate competence and capabilities to identify or recognise non-compliance with laws and regulations. However, the inherent nature of the audit, and the limited procedures performed, means there is an unavoidable risk that some irregularities may have gone undetected. We are not responsible for preventing non-compliance and cannot be expected to detect non-compliance with all laws and regulations.

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.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For The Year Ended 31 October 2024

1. STATUTORY INFORMATION

Toomers Limited is a private company, limited by shares , registered in England and Wales. The company's registered number and registered office address can be found on the Company Information page.

2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of preparing the financial statements
These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Financial Reporting Standard 102 "The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland" and the Companies Act 2006. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention.

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;
the requirement of paragraph 3.17(d);
the requirement of paragraph 33.7.

Significant judgements and estimates
The preparation of the financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported for assets and liabilities as at the balance sheet date and the amounts reported for revenue and expenses during the year. However the nature of estimation means the actual outcomes could differ from those involving estimates. The company constantly re-evaluates these significant factors and makes adjustments where facts and circumstances dictate.

The directors have made the following judgements and estimates deemed applicable to the financial statements:

Fixed asset depreciation policies
Depreciation is provided at differing rates in order to write off each asset over its estimated useful life. At each reporting date, management review several factors, such as changes in market prices, to ensure the depreciable amount of an asset is allocated over its estimated useful life.

Turnover
Turnover is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable excluding discounts, rebates, value added tax and other sales taxes.

Tangible fixed assets
Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off each asset over its estimated useful life or, if held under a finance lease, over the lease term, whichever is the shorter.
Plant and machinery - 10% on cost
Fixtures and fittings - 20% on reducing balance
Motor vehicles - 25% on reducing balance

Stock and work in progress
Stock and work in progress is valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value after making due allowance for obsolete and slow moving items.
Cost includes all direct expenditure and an appropriate proportion of fixed and variable overheads.

Financial instruments
Short term debtors are measured at transaction price (which is usually the invoice price), less any impairment losses for bad and doubtful debts.

Loans and other financial assets are initially recognised at transaction price including any transaction costs and subsequently measured at amortised cost determined using the effective interest method, less any impairment losses for bad and doubtful debts.

Short term creditors are measured at transaction price (which is usually the invoice price).

Loans and other financial assets are initially recognised at transaction price including any transaction costs and subsequently measured at amortised cost determined using the effective interest method.

2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued
Taxation
Taxation for the year comprises current and deferred tax. 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 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.

Hire purchase and leasing commitments
Assets obtained under hire purchase contracts or finance leases are capitalised in the balance sheet. Those held under hire purchase contracts are depreciated over their estimated useful lives. Those held under finance leases are depreciated over their estimated useful lives or the lease term, whichever is the shorter.

The interest element of these obligations is charged to profit or loss over the relevant period. The capital element of the future payments is treated as a liability.

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.

3. TURNOVER

The turnover and profit before taxation are attributable to the one principal activity of the company.
