STRATEGIC REPORT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024

Introduction
 
The directors present their strategic report accompanying the financial statements for the period ended 31 December 2024.

Business review
 
The company has delivered a year of substantial growth, continuing its upward trajectory despite a challenging global economic and geopolitical environment.
Turnover increased to £54.20m in the year ended 31 December 2024, compared to £44.18m in the 18 months to 31 December 2023. Gross profit rose sharply from £671k to £3.87m, with the margin improving from 1.5% to 7.1%. This was primarily driven by reduced operational costs in warehousing and logistics, coupled with the positive impact of supplier contract renegotiations, improved internal processes, and favourable currency movements.
Following the significant infrastructure, staffing, and warehousing investments made in 2021–2023 to support higher trade volumes, administrative expenses have now reduced from £4.5m in 2023 to £3.6m in 2024, reflecting improved cost control and operational efficiency. This has resulted in a net profit of £261k, a strong turnaround from the prior year’s loss of £3.6m.
Operationally, 2024 marked a year of both volume growth and diversification:
 • Headcount increased in line with business expansion.
 • The two largest warehouse clients recorded 1.2x volume growth compared to last year.
 • Two new clients commenced operations in June and July, bringing steady warehouse throughput.
 • Order volumes across the business grew 1.3x year-to-date.
 • Export shipments doubled compared to the prior year.
 • The transport division’s daily orders also doubled year-on-year.
 • Secured two major projects:
  o A warehouse operation involving devanning 100 containers.
  o A trucking contract covering delivery of 700 containers over one year.
The continued rollout and optimisation of the company’s internal operational system has further improved workflow efficiency, data accuracy, and customer service response times.
These achievements, combined with a strong client base and robust project pipeline, position the company for sustained revenue and volume growth in 2025. The directors are confident in delivering both improved profitability and operational performance in the year ahead.
As disclosed in Note 2.2, the company remains reliant on loan support from related parties and expects this support to continue for the foreseeable future. Accordingly, the accounts are prepared on a going concern basis.

STRATEGIC REPORT (CONTINUED)
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024

Principal risks and uncertainties
 
The directors have assessed the key risks and uncertainties affecting the business:
 • The resilience of the UK economy and global supply chains, with particular attention to geopolitical       instability.
 • Competitive pressures from both UK-based and international logistics providers.
 • Currency volatility, especially the fluctuation of sterling against other major currencies.
 • Inflationary cost pressures, particularly in fuel, labour, and warehousing.
 • Maintaining high service levels to meet customer expectations.
 • Shipping market changes:
  o New alliances between major shipping lines potentially impacting freight rates and capacity        allocation.
  o Deployment of larger, more technologically advanced vessels, influencing market rates and        capacity distribution.
 • Warehouse utilisation rates and the need to optimise space to maintain profitability.

Financial key performance indicators
 
Given the straightforward nature of the business, the directors consider that detailed KPI analysis is not essential for understanding the company’s performance. However, headline operational metrics demonstrate strong growth:
 • Turnover up 23% year-on-year.
 • Export shipment volumes doubled.
 • Transport daily orders doubled.
 • Warehouse volumes up 1.3x year-to-date.
Outlook
With confirmed major contracts, ongoing client growth, and the proven benefits of operational efficiency improvements, the directors anticipate a strong year ahead in 2025. Both revenue and volume are expected to continue rising, underpinned by stable client demand and new business wins. The company will remain focused on cost control, service excellence, and agile responses to changes in the logistics market.


This report was approved by the board on 5 September 2025 and signed on its behalf.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF DCG LOGISTICS UK LTD
 

Opinion


We have audited the financial statements of DCG Logistics UK Ltd (the 'Company') for the year ended 31 December 2024, which comprise the Statement of comprehensive income, the Balance sheet, the Statement of cash flows, the Statement of changes in equity and the related notes, including a summary of significant accounting policiesThe 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 December 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 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.


Material uncertainty related to going concern


We draw attention to note 2.2 in the financial statements, which indicates that the company has net liabilities of £2,368,318 as at 31 December 2024, and is dependent on the support of related companies, under common control, to continue to meet financial obligations as they fall due. As stated in note 2.2, these events or conditions, along with the other matters as set forth in note 2.2, indicate that a material uncertainty exists that may cast significant doubt on the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter.


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. 


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 Annual Report other than the financial statements and our Auditors' report thereon. The directors are responsible for the other information contained within the Annual ReportOur 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.


Opinion 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 in relation to which the Companies Act 2006 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion:


adequate accounting records have not been kept, or returns adequate for our audit have not been received from branches not visited by us; or
the financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns; or
certain disclosures of directors' remuneration specified by law are not made; or
we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit.


Responsibilities of directors
 

As explained more fully in the Directors' responsibilities statement set out on page 3, 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.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF DCG LOGISTICS UK LTD (CONTINUED)


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 an Auditors' 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:

Our approach to identifying and assessing the risks of material misstatement in respect of irregularities, including fraud and non-compliance with law and regulations, was as follows:
 • The engagement partner ensured that the engagement team collectively had the appropriate competence,  capabilities and skills to identify or recognise non-compliance with applicable laws and regulations;
 • We identified the laws and regulations applicable to the company through discussion with directors and     other management, and from our commercial knowledge and experience of the relevant sector;
 • The specific laws and regulations which we considered may have a direct material effect on the financial statements or the operations of the company, are as follows;
      o Companies Act 2006.
      o FRS102.
      o Health and Safety legislation.
      o Employment legislation
      o Tax legislation
      o BIFA – British International Freight Association
      o UKWA – UK Warehousing Association 
      o FIATA – The International Federation of Freight Forwarders Associations
      o RHA – The Road Haulage Association
 • We assessed the extent of compliance with the laws and regulations identified above through making enquiries of management, reviewing board minutes and inspecting legal correspondence;
 • Laws and regulations were communicated within the audit team at the planning meeting, and during the     audit as any further laws and regulation were identified. The audit team remained alert to instances of            non-compliance throughout the audit.
We assessed the susceptibility of the company’s financial statements to material misstatement, including obtaining an understanding of how fraud might occur by:
• Making enquires of management as to where they consider there was susceptibility to fraud and their knowledge of actual suspected and alleged fraud;
• Considering the internal controls in place to mitigate risks of fraud and non-compliance with laws and regulations;
• Reviewing the financial statements and testing the disclosures against supporting documentation;
• Performing analytical procedures to identify any unusual or unexpected trends or anomalies;
• Inspecting and testing journal entries to identify unusual or unexpected transactions;
• Assessing whether judgement and assumptions made in determining significant accounting estimates, were indicative of management bias; and
• Investigating the rationale behind significant transactions, or transactions that are unusual or outside the company’s usual course of business.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF DCG LOGISTICS UK LTD (CONTINUED)



The areas that we identified as being susceptible to misstatement through fraud were:
• Management bias in the estimates and judgements made;
• Management override of controls; and
• Posting of unusual journals or transactions.
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 Auditors' report.


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 2006Our 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.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024

1.


General information

DCG Logistics UK Ltd is a private company, limited by shares, registered in England and Wales. The company's registered office address is 2-4 Atholl Road, Chelmsford, Essex, CM2 6TB.
The principal activity of the company in the year under review was that of warehouse fulfilment, shipping and forwarding agents.

2.Accounting policies

 
2.1

Basis of preparation of financial statements

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 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 Company's accounting policies (see note 3).

The following principal accounting policies have been applied:

 
2.2

Going concern

As described in the strategic report on page 1 the company has experienced improved trading conditions and has reported a profit of £260,690 for the year. The Directors, and its management have implemented their action plan in the year to increase warehouse utilisation and revenue and reduce costs, to stem the losses and get back to profitability, which has now been achieved, and now needs to be maintained. However, given the net liability position of £2,368,318 as at 31 December 2024 the Company is reliant on the financial support of DCG Logistics Ltd, a related company under common control, via loans as disclosed in note 26. The directors expect this support to continue for the foreseeable future.
The Directors and management have considered the trading position up to the date of approval of the financial statements and the projections for the 12 month period thereafter. They have also considered current working capital levels, the support of DCG Logistics Ltd via loans and cash reserves at the date of signing the audit report, and are confident the company will have adequate funds to meet its operating costs for the foreseeable future.
The accounts have been prepared on the going concern basis, the appropriateness of which relies on the continued success of the action plan implemented for the Company, and the continued support of DCG Logistics Ltd.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024

2.Accounting policies (continued)

 
2.3

Foreign currency translation

Functional and presentation currency

The Company's functional and presentational currency is GBP.

Transactions and balances

Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the spot exchange rates at the dates of the transactions.

At each period end foreign currency monetary items are translated using the closing rate. Non-monetary items measured at historical cost are translated using the exchange rate at the date of the transaction and non-monetary items measured at fair value are measured using the exchange rate when fair value was determined.

 
2.4

Revenue

Revenue is recognised to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Company and the revenue can be reliably measured. Revenue is measured as the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, excluding discounts, rebates, value added tax and other sales taxes. The following criteria must also be met before revenue is recognised:

Rendering of services

Revenue from a contract to provide services is recognised in the period in which the services are provided in accordance with the stage of completion of the contract when all of the following conditions are satisfied:
the amount of revenue can be measured reliably;
it is probable that the Company will receive the consideration due under the contract;
the stage of completion of the contract at the end of the reporting period can be measured reliably; and
the costs incurred and the costs to complete the contract can be measured reliably.

 
2.5

Operating leases: the Company as lessee

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

Benefits received and receivable as an incentive to sign an operating lease are recognised on a straight-line basis over the lease term, unless another systematic basis is representative of the time pattern of the lessee's benefit from the use of the leased asset.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024

2.Accounting policies (continued)

 
2.6

Government grants

Grants are accounted under the accruals model as permitted by FRS 102. Grants relating to expenditure on tangible fixed assets are credited to profit or loss at the same rate as the depreciation on the assets to which the grant relates. The deferred element of grants is included in creditors as deferred income.
Grants of a revenue nature are recognised in the Statement of comprehensive income in the same period as the related expenditure.

 
2.7

Interest income

Interest income is recognised in profit or loss using the effective interest method.

 
2.8

Finance costs

Finance costs are charged to profit or loss over the term of the debt using the effective interest method so that the amount charged is at a constant rate on the carrying amount. Issue costs are initially recognised as a reduction in the proceeds of the associated capital instrument.

 
2.9

Borrowing costs

All borrowing costs are recognised in profit or loss in the year in which they are incurred.

 
2.10

Pensions

Defined contribution pension plan

The Company operates a defined contribution plan for its employees. A defined contribution plan is a pension plan under which the Company pays fixed contributions into a separate entity. Once the contributions have been paid the Company has no further payment obligations.

The contributions are recognised as an expense in profit or loss when they fall due. Amounts not paid are shown in accruals as a liability in the Balance sheet. The assets of the plan are held separately from the Company in independently administered funds.

 
2.11

Taxation

Tax is recognised in profit or loss except that a charge attributable to an item of income and expense recognised as other comprehensive income or to an item recognised directly in equity is also recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity respectively.

The current income tax charge is calculated on the basis of tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date in the countries where the Company operates and generates income.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024

2.Accounting policies (continued)

 
2.12

Tangible fixed assets

Tangible fixed assets under the cost model are stated at historical cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses. Historical cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to bringing the asset to the location and condition necessary for it to be capable of operating in the manner intended by management.

Depreciation is charged so as to allocate the cost of assets less their residual value over their estimated useful lives, on the following bases:.


Short-term leasehold property
-
over the lease term 5 or 10 years
Plant and machinery
-
20% on reducing balance
Motor vehicles
-
20% on reducing balance
Fixtures and fittings
-
20% on reducing balance
Computer equipment
-
20% on reducing balance

The assets' residual values, useful lives and depreciation methods are reviewed, and adjusted prospectively if appropriate, or if there is an indication of a significant change since the last reporting date.

Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing the proceeds with the carrying amount and are recognised in profit or loss.

 
2.13

Debtors

Short-term debtors are measured at transaction price, less any impairment. Loans receivable are measured initially at fair value, net of transaction costs, and are measured subsequently at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less any impairment.

 
2.14

Cash and cash equivalents

Cash is represented by cash in hand and deposits with financial institutions repayable without penalty on notice of not more than 24 hours. Cash equivalents are highly liquid investments that mature in no more than three months from the date of acquisition and that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash with insignificant risk of change in value.

In the Statement of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents are shown net of bank overdrafts that are repayable on demand and form an integral part of the Company's cash management.

 
2.15

Creditors

Short-term creditors are measured at the transaction price. Other financial liabilities, including bank loans, are measured initially at fair value, net of transaction costs, and are measured subsequently at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024

2.Accounting policies (continued)

  
2.16

Provisions for liabilities

Provisions are made where an event has taken place that gives the Company a legal or constructive obligation that probably requires settlement by a transfer of economic benefit, and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation.
Provisions are charged as an expense to profit or loss in the year that the Company becomes aware of the obligation, and are measured at the best estimate at the balance sheet date of the expenditure required to settle the obligation, taking into account relevant risks and uncertainties.
When payments are eventually made, they are charged to the provision carried in the Balance sheet.
Specifically dilapidations provisions have been recognised for repairs, wear and tear and remedial works required under operating lease agreements for properties.

 
2.17

Financial instruments

The Company only enters into basic financial instrument transactions that result in the recognition of financial assets and liabilities like trade and other debtors and creditors, loans from banks and other third parties, loans to related parties and investments in ordinary shares.


3.


Judgments in applying accounting policies and key sources of estimation uncertainty

a) Critical judgements in applying the group's accounting policies
No significant judgements have had to be made by the company in preparing these financial statements.
b) Key accounting estimates and assumptions
The company has made key assumptions regarding the useful economic life of tangible fixed assets and this is further described in note 2.12 of accounting policies.
The company has also made key assumptions regarding the provision for dilapidations on leased properties and this is further described in note 2.16 of the accounting policies and in notes 21 and 23 of the accounts.


4.


Turnover

All turnover arose within the United Kingdom, although customers may be based overseas and the shipping and logistics services provided can be worldwide. All turnover arose from the company's principal activity as disclosed at Note 1.

Prior year adjustment

Following the annual review of operating lease commitments, it was noted that leases in place contained clauses for dilapidation provisions in order to return the warehouses back to their original state prior to occupancy. Whilst the adjustments, on a year to year basis, were not material, the accumalated provisions had now reached a level which would be deemed material in the current year at the balance sheet date. Therefore the company has decided to recognise the provision under a calculated method on a straight line basis over the life of the leases, based on the best estimate of expected dilaidations costs at the end of the leases..  
An adjusting entry has been processed to amend the current year position and prior year adjustments have been made in order to amend the brought forward position. These adjustments are detailed below:
The impact on the prior year profit and loss account is a increase in cost of sales of £190,655, and a corresponding increase in provisions. The impact on the brought forward profit and loss reserves as at 1 July 2022 is £133,697, and on brought forward profit and loss reserves as at 1 January 2024 is £324,352, with a corresponding increase in provisions.  


24.


Pension commitments

The Company operates a defined contributions pension scheme. The assets of the scheme are held separately from those of the Company in an independently administered fund. The pension cost charge represents contributions payable by the Company to the fund and amounted to £63,125 (2023 - £71,872). Contributions totalling £95 (2023 - £274) were payable to the fund at the balance sheet date and are included in other creditors
