The directors present the strategic report for the year ended 31 March 2025.
The Tritech group business was founded in 1982 as a centre of excellence for providing investment casting products and services. Ultimate ownership of the group headed by Neterson Holdings Limited is with Chemical and Ferro Alloys Private Limited which is part of the Neterwala group of companies. The origins of the group in investment casting still dominate activities, but continuous later developments, which included new acquisitions, new applications and process improvements, have seen the business go from strength to strength.
The financial measures used by the Group is set out below:
The financial review provides a summary of how Tritech Group Limited “the Group” has performed during the year and provides additional information to that contained within the financial statements. The report also comments further on the group’s profitability and cash flow and the key performance measures that are used to manage the ongoing performance of the group.
On 28th February 2025, the Shareholders executed a consolidation of all the UK companies which form part of the Neterson Holdings Limited group. This resulted in Tritech Group Limited selling its investment in Tritech Precision Products Limited to Neterson Holdings Limited. The company ceased trading on this date and is no longer a going concern. There is no Tritech Group Consolidation.
Section 172 statement
The directors welcome the opportunity to explain how they have had regard to matters set out in section
172(1), Companies Act 2006, considering factors (a) to (f):
(a) the likely consequences of any decision in the long term
The Board are cognisant of the changing environment in which we operate and meet regularly to review our performance and outlook. With this vision and values, we aim to maintain our position of the leading UK providers of our services and continually strive to deliver long term economic, social, and environmental value to our clients, our staff and all our stakeholders.
At all Board Meetings the Board consider the present position of the group and how that impacts on the position of the group and all its stakeholders. At the monthly Board Meetings, the Board further reviews current strategy and seeks opportunities for safety, innovation, delivery, community, and continual improvement for the benefit of the Group and its stakeholders.
(b) the interests of the group’s employees
The management continues to ensure that the interests of the employees are considered when making operational decisions which may affect them. To ensure that decisions are taken with the interests of the employees in mind the management meet each month with representatives of the employees to discuss significant operational matters. This forum has helped improve relationships at all levels of the workforce.
Health and Safety of all employees is of paramount importance and the company continues to enhance the health and safety culture within the business, throughout all our people.
(c) the need to foster the group’s business relationships with suppliers, customers, and others
The group continues to foster close relationships with key suppliers and customers of the business. The management has worked very hard over the last year or so to develop sound working practices with suppliers and customers and has focused on those suppliers and customers who demonstrate commitment to the relationship to ensure a quality product to the end user.
(d) the impact of the group’s operations on the community and the environment
The group has ongoing projects which review gas and electricity usage. We have a program of work in place to review energy consumption and loading across the manufacturing equipment. This involves monitoring each particular piece of equipment to understand energy loading.
From data collected we have been able to reduce the equipment operating periods in line with reduced working periods. We are also planning our component loading to maximise the capacities of the equipment we use, by ensuring fully loaded runs take place wherever possible.
(e) the desirability of the group maintaining a reputation for high standards of business
conduct
The standard and quality of our product is critical in the Sales Markets within which we operate.
Management continually reviews the systems and procedures to ensure compliance with all quality and specification standards. The business has a process of internal monitoring of these standards which help ensure the quality and safety of product is maintained.
(f) the need to act fairly between members of the group
The company is wholly owned, and the ultimate shareholder body has regular oversight of the running of the business. All strategic decisions are taken following consultation with the shareholder body and so management can be seen to act fairly with all members of the company.
On behalf of the board
The directors present their annual report and financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2025.
The results for the year are set out on page 9.
Ordinary dividends were paid amounting to £10,720,087. The directors do not recommend payment of a further dividend.
The directors who held office during the year and up to the date of signature of the financial statements were as follows:
The company has taken advantage of the available exemption not to disclose energy and carbon reporting in accordance with the Environmental Reporting Guidelines. This information is included in the group directors report of Neterson Holdings Limited.
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;
state whether applicable UK Accounting Standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; 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.
We have audited the financial statements of Tritech Group Limited (the 'company') for the year ended 31 March 2025 which comprise the statement of comprehensive income, the statement of financial position, the statement of changes in equity and notes to the financial statements, including 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).
Basis for opinion
Emphasis of matter - financial statements prepared on a basis other than going concern
Other information
Opinions on other matters prescribed by the Companies Act 2006
In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of our 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.
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 laws 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 discussions with directors and other management;
we focused on specific laws and regulations which we considered may have a direct material effect on the financial statements, including legislation such as the Companies Act 2006, taxation legislation and data protection;
we assessed the extent of compliance with the laws and regulations through making enquiries of management.
We assessed the susceptibility of the company's financial statements to material misstatement, including obtaining an understanding of how fraud might occur, by:
making enquiries of management as to where they considered there was susceptibility to fraud, their knowledge of actual, suspected and alleged fraud; and
considering the internal controls in place to mitigate risks of fraud and non-compliance with laws and regulations.
To address the risk of fraud through management bias and override of controls, we:
performed analytical procedures to identify any unusual or unexpected relationships;
tested journal entries posted during the period and at the period end to identify unusual transactions; and
investigated the rationale behind significant or unusual transactions.
In response to the risk of irregularities and non-compliance with laws and regulations, we designed procedures which included, but were not limited to:
agreeing financial statement disclosures to underlying supporting documentation;
enquiring of management as to actual and potential litigation and claims;
reviewing correspondence and agreements with HMRC; and
reviewing financial statements and tax returns to identify any potential indications of non-compliance with laws and regulations.
There are inherent limitations in our audit procedures described above. The more removed that laws and regulations are from financial transactions, the less likely it is that we would become aware of non-compliance. Auditing standards also limit the audit procedures required to identify non-compliance with laws and regulations to enquiry of the directors and other management and the inspection of regulatory and legal correspondence, if any.
Material misstatements that arise due to fraud can be harder to detect than those that arise from error as they may involve deliberate concealment or collusion.
A further description of our responsibilities is available on the Financial Reporting Council’s website at: https://www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our auditor's report.
Use of our report
This report is made solely to the company's member 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 member those matters we are required to state to the member in an auditor's 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 member, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.
Tritech Group Limited is a private company limited by shares incorporated in England and Wales. The registered office is Bridge Road North, Wrexham Industrial Estate, Wrexham, LL13 9PS.
The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the company. Monetary amounts in these financial statements are rounded to the nearest £.
This company is a qualifying entity for the purposes of FRS 102, being a member of a group where the parent of that group prepares publicly available consolidated financial statements, including this company, which are intended to give a true and fair view of the assets, liabilities, financial position and profit or loss of the group. The company has therefore taken advantage of exemptions from the following disclosure requirements:
Section 7 ‘Statement of Cash Flows’: Presentation of a statement of cash flow and related notes and disclosures;
Section 11 ‘Basic Financial Instruments’ and Section 12 ‘Other Financial Instrument Issues: Interest income/expense and net gains/losses for financial instruments not measured at fair value; basis of determining fair values; details of collateral, loan defaults or breaches, details of hedges, hedging fair value changes recognised in profit or loss and in other comprehensive income;
Section 33 ‘Related Party Disclosures’: Compensation for key management personnel.
The financial statements of the company are consolidated in the financial statements of Neterson Holdings Limited. These consolidated financial statements are available from its registered office, Bridge Road North, Wrexham Industrial Estate, Wrexham, Clwyd, LL13 9PS.
Basic financial assets, which include debtors and cash and bank balances, are initially measured at transaction price including transaction costs and are subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the transaction is measured at the present value of the future receipts discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial assets classified as receivable within one year are not amortised.
Financial assets are derecognised only when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the asset expire or are settled, or when the company transfers the financial asset and substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership to another entity, or if some significant risks and rewards of ownership are retained but control of the asset has transferred to another party that is able to sell the asset in its entirety to an unrelated third party.
Financial liabilities and equity instruments are classified according to the substance of the contractual arrangements entered into. An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of the company after deducting all of its liabilities.
Basic financial liabilities, including loans from fellow group companies, are initially recognised at transaction price unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the debt instrument is measured at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial liabilities classified as payable within one year are not amortised.
Debt instruments are subsequently carried at amortised cost, using the effective interest rate method.
Trade creditors are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of business from suppliers. Amounts payable are classified as current liabilities if payment is due within one year or less. If not, they are presented as non-current liabilities. Trade creditors are recognised initially at transaction price and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
Financial liabilities are derecognised when the company’s contractual obligations expire or are discharged or cancelled.
Equity instruments issued by the company are recorded at the proceeds received, net of transaction costs. Dividends payable on equity instruments are recognised as liabilities once they are no longer at the discretion of the company.
In the application of the company’s accounting policies, the directors are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amount of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised where the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods where the revision affects both current and future periods.
In the directors' opinion there are no critical judgements or estimates that they have been made aware of in order to apply the company's accounting policies and that have had a significant effect on the amounts recognised in the financial statements.
The actual charge for the year can be reconciled to the expected credit for the year based on the profit or loss and the standard rate of tax as follows:
Amounts owed by group undertakings are unsecured, interest free, have no fixed date of repayments and are repayable on demand.
Amounts owed to group undertakings are unsecured, interest free, have no fixed date of repayments and are repayable on demand.
There is a single class of ordinary shares. There are no restrictions on the distribution of dividends and the repayment of capital.
On 28 February 2025, the Company reduced it's share capital by £5,764,075 and share premium by £124,000. There was no change in ownership structure as a result of these changes.
Share premium was created on the issue of shares at amounts above the nominal value of the shares.
The company had charges over its assets, in the firm of an all assets debenture, as security for the borrowings of fellow group undertakings which ceased to be the case at 28 February 2025. At 31 March 2025 these borrowings therefore amounted to £nil (2024: £17,995,802).
