STRATEGIC REPORT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024

Introduction
 
The principal activity of the company continues to be that of a building repair and restoration contractor, primarily serving the domestic and commercial insurance markets together with construction, local authorities and other niche clients and associated markets. FSH employs 199 staff and operates from 4 locations in Castleford, Hull, Liverpool and Newcastle, providing full coverage and a complete contractor service to the whole of the construction and insurance market throughout the North of England. Competition in those markets comes from both national and local contractors so we ensure that our strong client relationships are backed up by excellent service delivery, on time and on budget, on all contracts to ensure our clients continue to entrust us with their work. One of the continued strength of the business is its ability to mobilise itself in areas that are suddenly affected by severe weather related events.
Our purpose is 'To Simplify Building Projects; it's the only way we know.'  We aim to delight our customers with a timely, trusted and hassle-free service. Our 3 principle values to 'Build Trust', 'Build Excellence' and 'Build Lasting Relationships' underpin the FSH way of doing business. 

Business review
 
This period has seen the business continue to deliver against our 'Strategy 2024', implementing a smart sales and marketing campaign while using Big Change technology to drive gross margin efficiency.  
Our insurance and damage management divisions improved efficiencies and profitability during the year, even though sales reduced pro-rata.
Our reactive maintenance division continues to go from strength to strength. Overall the board are pleased with performance during the period.

Principal risks and uncertainties
 
The unpredictability of our core insurance market, which is habitually influenced by natural forces and weather conditions, makes it difficult to predict workflows and accordingly optimising resources to maximise service and profitability is a constant challenge.
The construction market continues to be fiercely competitive, especially the pricing on significant tender works but the development of relationships and long-term framework agreements with local authorities provides a good balance of consistent workflows.
Cashflow and Credit Risk
  
Cash flow is managed through our banking facilities; enhanced by a detailed and ever evolving understanding of how cash moves through our customers businesses, the use of their portals and a weekly focused debt review by all members of the Senior Management Team of FSH.
Credit risk is primarily attributable to trade debtors. The risk is managed by a strict and effective credit rating of both existing and prospective customers and a detailed knowledge of the ultimate owner of the debt. 

Financial key performance indicators

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

Other key performance indicators
 
The Company considers that its KPIs are:
Enquiries, quotes, conversion rates and authorities - the business experienced a reduction in enquiries, quotes and authorities.  By closely monitoring these indicators, by team and geographical region, we are able to make some reasoned, broad predictions of future workloads. We continue to try and improve our conversion rate, particularly in construction, as part of our 'Strategy 2024'.
Turnover - this reduced on the previous period pro-rata. Our aim is to improve 'throughput' (the speed of turnaround from the start of a job to final account and invoice) and reduce the life cycle of jobs.   
Margin - during the year the business continued to concentrate on its core principle; maintaining and developing its gross margin efficiency. The margin improved during the year but was still a little behind budget.
Operating costs - these increased due to continuing price increases, particularly fleet.
Service level agreements - the business is currently investing in new task driven IT systems and the use of mobile technologies which will improve the measurement and achievement of our clients service level agreements in future years. 
The director reviews each of the KPIs regularly, together with all other indicators, ensuring that the Company is maximising its added value in terms of service, quality and profitability. 
Other non-financial key performance indicators monitored by the Directors include: 
- Health and safety - number of accidents and RIDDOR (Reporting of Injuries, Diseases and Dangerous  
 Occurrences Regulations); and 
- Staff • 90 day reviews, training days, internal promotions and sick days.


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

DIRECTOR'S REPORT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024

The director presents his report and the financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2024.

Under company law the director must not approve the financial statements unless he is 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.

select suitable accounting policies for the company's financial statements 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 director is 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 to enable him to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006He is 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.

DIRECTOR'S REPORT (CONTINUED)
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024

Future developments

The Director and Senior Management Team continue with their 3-year plan to deliver our 'Strategy 2024' and to build on the step-change in growth and profitability seen since 2021. This plan extends on our Purpose, values and the core competencies required to achieve our Strategic Goals.
We recognise the importance of delighting our customers, achieving growth through lasting relationships and continuing with our sales and marketing campaign, which focuses on the key enablers that will deliver the type and mix of work to help us achieve our goals. We continue with the core principle of gross margin efficiency, proactively reviewing efficiencies and margins throughout the contract process to maximise returns. Our costs and resources are aligned with our workflows, which creates a framework for increasing profitability and we have introduced new processes that are having a positive impact on cash collection.
We are currently exploring numerous opportunities to expand our markets, both geographically and through diversification and these are being introduced into the business one phase at a time.
The reactive maintenance division continues to develop its growing relationship with Whitbread and its Premier Inn framework.
Our balance sheet remains strong and as a business we continue to be robust and flexible to the demands of our industries and financially secure.
Our values underpin everything we do as we continue to provide our people with the skills they need to truly Simplify Building Projects and develop our blueprint of having dedicated client teams, which helps us to achieve our clients' service level agreements and builds our reputation for providing a trusted, hassle-free service.
On 31 March 2025, the Company merged with another subsidiary of R3 Polygon UK Limited, Neways Associates Limited, and from 1 April 2025 the combined business now trades as Neways Associates Limited. F.S.H. Group is now a non-trading dormant subsidiary.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF F.S.H. (GROUP) LIMITED
 

Opinion


We have audited the financial statements of F.S.H. (Group) Limited (the 'company') for the year ended 31 December 2024, which comprise the Statement of Comprehensive Income, the Statement of Financial Position, 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.


Conclusions relating to going concern


In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the director's 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 director 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 director is 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.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF F.S.H. (GROUP) LIMITED (CONTINUED)


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 Director's Report for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements; and
the Strategic Report and the Director's 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 Director's 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 director's 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 Director's Responsibilities Statement set out on page 3, the director is 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 director determines 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 director is 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 director either intends to liquidate the company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF F.S.H. (GROUP) LIMITED (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:

- We obtained an understanding of laws and regulations that affect the company, focusing on those that                 had a direct effect on the financial statements or that had a fundamental effect on its operations. Key    laws and regulations that we identified included the UK Companies Act, tax legislation and occupational    health and employment legislation.
- We enquired of the directors and reviewed correspondence for evidence of non compliance with     relevant laws and regulations. We also reviewed controls the directors have in place to ensure     compliance.
- We gained an understanding of the controls that the directors have in place to prevent and detect fraud.    We enquired of the trustees about any incidences of fraud that had taken place during the accounting    period.
- The risk of fraud and non compliance with laws and regulations and fraud was discussed within the audit   team and tests were planned and performed to address these risks. We identified the potential for fraud                   in the following areas: misappropriation of cash and other assets.
- We reviewed financial statements disclosures and tested to supporting documentation to assess     compliance with relevant laws and regulations discussed above.
- We enquired of the directors and third party advisors about actual and potential litigation and claims.
- We performed analytical procedures to identify any unusual or unexpected relationships that might    indicate risks of material misstatement due to fraud.
- In addressing the risk of fraud due to management override of internal controls we tested the     appropriateness of journal entries and assessed whether the judgements made in making accounting    estimates were indicative of a potential bias.


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.

1.


General information

The Company is a wholly owned subsidiary of F.S.H (Holdings) Limited, a Company registered in England and Wales.  The registered office and its principal place of business is as follows:  Unit D, Links 31, Willowbridge Way, Whitwood, Castleford, WF10 5NP.

The principal activity of the Company continued to be that of a building repair and restoration contractor, primarily serving the domestic and commercial insurance markets together with other niche clients, social housing, local authority and associated markets.

These financial statements have been presented in Pounds Sterling as this is the currency of the primary economic environment in which the company operates.

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 judgement in applying the company's accounting policies (see note 3).

The following principal accounting policies have been applied:

 
2.2

Going concern

At the time of approving these financial statements, the directors have a reasonable expectation that the company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus the directors continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.

  
2.3

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 requirements of Section 3 Financial Statement Presentation paragraph 3.17(d);

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

2.Accounting policies (continued)

 
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.

Revenue is stated net of loss adjuster fees, which are fees payable to third-parties who refer work to F.S.H. (Group) Limited on a job by job basis. 

 
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.

 
2.6

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.

 
2.7

Borrowing costs

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

 
2.8

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 Statement of Financial Position. The assets of the plan are held separately from the company in independently administered funds.

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

2.Accounting policies (continued)

 
2.9

Current and deferred taxation

The tax expense for the year comprises current and deferred tax. 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 reporting date in the countries where the company operates and generates income.

Deferred tax balances are recognised in respect of all timing differences that have originated but not reversed by the reporting date, except that:
The recognition of deferred tax assets is limited to the extent that it is probable that they will be recovered against the reversal of deferred tax liabilities or other future taxable profits; and
Any deferred tax balances are reversed if and when all conditions for retaining associated tax allowances have been met.

Deferred tax balances are not recognised in respect of permanent differences except in respect of business combinations, when deferred tax is recognised on the differences between the fair values of assets acquired and the future tax deductions available for them and the differences between the fair values of liabilities acquired and the amount that will be assessed for tax. Deferred tax is determined using tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date.


 
2.10

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.

At each reporting date the company assesses whether there is any indication of impairment. If such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is determined which is the higher of its fair value less costs to sell and its value in use. An impairment loss is recognised where the carrying amount exceeds the recoverable amount.

Depreciation is charged so as to allocate the cost of assets less their residual value over their estimated useful lives, on a reducing balance basis.

Depreciation is provided on the following basis:

Plant and machinery
-
25%
straight line
Fixtures and fittings
-
25%
straight line
Leasehold improvements
-
10%
straight line

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.

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

2.Accounting policies (continued)

 
2.11

Valuation of investments

Investments in subsidiaries are measured at cost less accumulated impairment.

 
2.12

Stocks

Stocks are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value, being the estimated selling price less costs to complete and sell. Cost is based on the cost of purchase on a first in, first out basis. Work in progress and finished goods include labour and attributable overheads.

At each reporting date, stocks are assessed for impairment. If stock is impaired, the carrying amount is reduced to its selling price less costs to complete and sell. The impairment loss is recognised immediately 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.

Trade debtors are stated net of accrued loss adjuster fees, which are fees payable to third parties at the year-end for work referred during the period.

 
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.

 
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.

 
2.16

Holiday pay accrual

A liability is recognised to the extent of any unused holiday pay entitlement which is accrued at the reporting date and carried forward to future periods. This is measured at the undiscounted salary cost of the future holiday entitlement so accrued at the reporting date.

  
2.17

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 period that the company becomes aware of the obligation, and are measured at the best estimate at the reporting 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 Statement of Financial Position.

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

2.Accounting policies (continued)

 
2.18

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. 

 
2.19

Dividends

Equity dividends are recognised when they become legally payable. Interim equity dividends are recognised when paid. Final equity dividends are recognised when approved by the shareholders at an annual general meeting.


3.


Judgements in applying accounting policies and key sources of estimation uncertainty

Work in progress
The Company determines the stage of completion of work in progress and the revenue and profit or loss attributable to the financial period based on historic financial information available and also forecast information regarding expectations about future performance to completion of the contracts and therefore requires estimates and assumptions to be used by management. Judgement is applied by the management when determining the final valuation of works performed and also when determining the costs expected to be incurred to complete the contracted works.
