Group Strategic Report
for the Period 31 August 2023 to 30 September 2024

Business review and future plans

The financial year 2023/24 again exceeded expectations in turnover in spite of the uncertainty of world markets.

The forthcoming 2024/25 year will see uncertainty in world markets continue. The UK is still feeling financial imbalance resulting from developing political situations across the world. Closer to home, UK construction is predicted [CPA] to grow by 2%, although the high interest rates in 2025 remain a concern. The sectors in which PWP operate does offer some protection with ‘distribution’ remaining consistent along with the ‘frozen foods sectors’ continued growth in the region of Freeports.

Turnover will harbour some uncertainty, however, this is viewed as being ‘manageable’ within parameters. World events continue to challenge the business however PWP will react to follow changing markets, with both ‘new and existing clients’ and manage ‘risk versus reward’ as normal.

The outlook for 2024/25 is optimistic with future pipeline positive and major contracts in sight and longer term prospects remaining positive.

Health and safety within PWP dominates throughout the business. The company ethos is to give Health and Safety high priority with a culture of ‘safe working practises’ and ‘safe working environment,’ being deeply engrained. The directors are uncompromising in ensuring standards are maintained. PWP resolutely uphold high quality of workmanship and professionalism with health and safety maintaining the highest of standards.

Analysis of key performance indicators

The board remain fully focused on the controlled growth of the business within low risk strategy. Key performance factors remain current and are summarised as follows:

1) Standard of service to our client.
2) Success in securing negotiated or select tendered contracts.
3) Continued monthly management and monitoring of costs and value.
4) Continued persistence in the collection of cash.
5) Maintaining Market Share.
6) Employee retention.
7) Penetration into new markets and clients.

Key business risks and uncertainties

The key risks emanate from outside influences. World events, financial markets along with energy costs have affected base material price which have increased, impacted negatively on the construction industry. We now, however, are seeing price increases stabilise.

PWP have managed their exposure to price changes by focusing on procurement to ensure that we receive the best price for goods. Agreeing prices early has minimised our exposure whilst enabling the delivery of projects on time.

An increased awareness of the financial risk that larger contracts bring to the business has brought a commercial focus, ensuring the risks are managed and controlled in close collaboration with main contractors, in order to mitigate risk. Some larger projects are being deferred with financial markets remaining cautious.

Aims

Main contractors and new clients, especially on high value Project Work, are treated with close vetting, financial scrutiny, and management. The Businesses Specialist Services divisions, with renewable contracts, have again achieved positive organic growth and which is forecast to continue. This helps to mitigates the ebb and flow of the major Projects.

PWP aim to continue the ‘follow clients and markets, not contracts’ approach and, although this remains challenging, the Board still consider this the best route forward. PWP has a proven track record of delivering large and complex contracts which broaden the scope of work available to us and equalises workload in the long run.

PWP have a strategy of employing principally permanent staff to maintain quality, and this remains a key strategy going forwards. Attracting and retaining skilled labour remains a critical challenge encouraging us to offer competitive compensation packages and attractive benefits to attract skilled M&E professionals.

Apprenticeships and training new staff has always been a long standing feature within PWP’s business model and this will be continued.

Group Strategic Report
for the Period 31 August 2023 to 30 September 2024


Conclusion

Whilst there remain significant challenges ahead, PWP continue to operate successfully within new and existing market sectors and are able to offer both existing and new clients tailored and competitive Design and Build solutions, year on year.

By embracing sustainability, leveraging technology, and expanding its market reach, the proposed strategies provide a roadmap for sustainable growth, operational excellence, and enhanced competitiveness. Adapting to industry trends, investing in talent, and continuously innovating will be key to securing the company's position as a leading mid-size M&E contractor in the UK and beyond.

STATEMENT OF DIRECTORS' RESPONSIBILITIES
The directors are responsible for preparing the Group 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 the group and of the profit or loss of the group 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;
- state whether applicable accounting standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and
explained in the financial statements;
- 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 and the group's transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the company and the group 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 the group 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 group's auditors are unaware, and each director has taken all the steps that he ought to have taken as a director in order to make himself aware of any relevant audit information and to establish that the group's auditors are aware of that information.

Report of the Directors
for the Period 31 August 2023 to 30 September 2024


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

ON BEHALF OF THE BOARD:



T P Holt - Director


20 March 2025

Report of the Independent Auditors to the Members of
PWP Building Services (Holdings) Limited

Opinion
We have audited the financial statements of PWP Building Services (Holdings) Limited (the 'parent company') and its subsidiaries (the 'group') for the period ended 30 September 2024 which comprise the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income, Consolidated Statement of Financial Position, Company Statement of Financial Position, Consolidated Statement of Changes in Equity, Company Statement of Changes in Equity, Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows and Notes to the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows, 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 group's and of the parent company affairs as at 30 September 2024 and of the group's profit for the period 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 group 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 group's and 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.

Other information
The directors are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information in the Group 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 Group 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 Group 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 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 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 by the parent company, or returns adequate for our audit have not been received from branches not visited by us; or
- the parent company 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
PWP Building Services (Holdings) 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 group's and the parent 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 group or the parent 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:

Our approach included obtaining an understanding of the legal and regulatory frameworks that are applicable to the company and we determined those that are most significant. Based on our risk assessment we designed audit procedures to identify non-compliance with such laws and regulations. The specific procedures included enquiry of management and those charged with governance around actual and potential litigation and claims.

In addition, and based on the results of our risk assessment we designed audit procedures to identify and address material misstatements in relation to fraud. Specifically we considered the risk of fraud through management override that may lead to a misappropriation of assets or inappropriate financial reporting. In response, we performed audit work over the risk of management override of controls, including testing 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.

Because of the inherent limitations of an audit, there is a risk that we will not detect all irregularities, including those leading to material misstatement in the financial statements or non-compliance with regulation. The risk increases the more that compliance with laws or regulation is removed form the events and transactions reflected in he financial statements, as we will be less likely to become aware of instances of non-compliance with regulation. This 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.

PWP Building Services (Holdings) 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 General 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.

The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the entity, rounded to the nearest £.

Basis of consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of the company and its subsidiary undertaking made up to 30 September 2024 to the extent of the group's interest in those undertakings and after eliminating intra-group transactions.

In the company's financial statements, investments in subsidiary undertakings are stated at cost less provision for permanent diminution in value.

A separate income statement for the parent company has not been presented in accordance with Section 408 of the Companies Act 2006. The result of the parent company dealt with in these financial statements is disclosed on page 9. The individual accounts of PWP Building Services (Holdings) Limited have also taken the exemption available from the requirement to present a statement of cash flows.

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 revenues and expenses during the year. However, the nature of estimation means that actual outcomes could differ from those estimates. The following judgements (apart from those involving estimates) have had the most significant effect on amounts recognised in the financial statements.

Accounting for long term contracts - revenue and profit is estimated on contracts that are not complete at the year end by reference to stage of completion and expected profit.

Turnover
Turnover is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable and represents amounts receivable for goods supplied and services rendered, stated net of discounts and of value added tax which includes income from long term contracts according to its stage of completion.

Revenue from the sale of goods is recognised when the significant risks and rewards of ownership of the goods 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.

When the outcome of a transactions involving the rendering of services can be reliably estimated, revenue from the rendering of services is measured by reference to the stage of completion of the service transaction at the end of the reporting period.

When the outcome of a transaction involving the rendering of services cannot be reliably estimated, revenue is recognised only to the extent that expenses recognised are recoverable.

Goodwill
Goodwill, being the amount paid in connection with the acquisition of a business in 2023, is being amortised evenly over its estimated useful life of ten years.

Intangible assets
Intangible assets are initially measured at cost. After initial recognition, intangible assets are measured a cost less any accumulated amortisation and any accumulated impairment losses

for the Period 31 August 2023 to 30 September 2024

2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued

Tangible fixed assets
Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off each asset over its estimated useful life.
Fixtures and fittings - 33% on reducing balance and 10% on cost
Motor vehicles - 25% on reducing balance

Stocks
Stocks and work in progress are measured at the lower of cost nad estimated selling price less costs to complete and sell. Costs includes all costs of purchase, costs of conversion and other costs incurred in bringing the stock to their present location and condition.

Financial instruments
A financial asset or a financial liability is recognised only when the company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.

Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at the transaction price, unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where it is recognised at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest for a similar debt instrument.

Other financial instruments, including derivatives, are initially recognised at fair value, unless payment for an asset is deferred beyond normal business terms or financed at a rate of interest that is not a market rate, in which case the asset is measured at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest for a similar debt instrument.

For all equity instruments regardless of significance, and other financial assets that are individually significant, these are assessed individually for impairment. Other financial assets or either assessed individually or grouped on the basis of similar credit risk characteristics.

Any reversals of impairment are recognised in profit or loss immediately, to the extent that the reversal does not result in a carrying amount of the financial asset that exceeds what the carrying amount would have been had the impairment not previously been recognised.

Taxation
Taxation for the period comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is recognised in the Consolidated 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 statement of financial position date.

Deferred tax
Deferred tax is recognised in respect of all timing differences that have originated but not reversed at the statement of financial position 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 period 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.

Operating leases
Rentals paid under operating leases are charged to profit or loss on a straight line basis over the period of the lease.

Pension costs and other post-retirement benefits
The group operates a defined contribution pension scheme. Contributions payable to the group's pension scheme are charged to profit or loss in the period to which they relate.

2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued

Construction contracts
Amounts recoverable on long term contracts, which are included in debtors are stated at the net sales value of the work done after provisions for contingencies and anticipated future losses on contracts, less amounts received as progress payments on account. Excess progress payments are included in creditors as payments received on account.

Hire purchase and finance leases
Assets held under finance leases are recognised in the statement of financial position as assets and liabilities at the lower of the fair value of the assets and the present value of the minimum lease payments, which is determined at the inception of the lease term. Any initial direct costs of the lease are added to the amount recognised as an asset.

Lease payments are apportioned between the finance charges and reduction of the outstanding lease liability using the effective interest method. Finance charges are allocated to each period so as to reduce a constant rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability.
