| STRATEGIC REPORT |
| FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024 |
| The directors present their strategic report of the company for the year ended 31st December 2024. |
| Business Performance |
| 2024 saw Diamond continue to grow and develop including the creation of Coat Facilities Group, the parent company with sister businesses including not only Diamond, Jet Through and Sanctuary Fire & Security but also Nationwide Roofing Repairs and Nationwide Property Clean. Diamond is now part of a specialist group of FM organisations that can offer a one stop integrated approach or alternatively single service solutions. 2024 saw us being part of the UK Fast Growth Index and also win the award of Best Facilities Services Business of the Year. Investment in the business continues and in-particular our ongoing development of our wholly owned CAFM system which continues to provide distinct advantages in the sectors in which we operate. The evolving Group structure has added significant strength and credibility to our market positioning and service proposition and it is incredible to see our strategic vision and plans coming together - the platform that has been created will allow significant growth to both the individual businesses but also the group as a whole. |
| Our ethos continues to be one of direct employment in order to control service, quality and cost and we will be strengthening this proposition further with the goal of being the UK's number 1 FM provider in terms of great service through direct labour. As a business we still have over 90% of all reactive work carried out by our own direct labour - we are unique in the industry in this respect and all associated group businesses follow the same philosophy. Our Major and Minor Works teams which compliments our emergency response, M&E Compliance and Handyman works is going from strength to strength and adds real value to our proposition. We can support clients with projects with values ranging from £500 up to £250,000. We continue to support the strategy that a wide service offering through specialist divisions utilising direct labour with an in-house CAFM system remains the key to success within our marketplace. |
| We have a 3 year strategic plan which focusses on steady and controlled growth where we can hit a minimum 5% net margin . Moving forward our focus will not only be private sector as it has for many years but following our success on the Fusion 21 Framework we now have a great opportunity to grow and develop within the public sector also. |
| We remain careful in the clients we contract with and in-particular look at clients with a robust financial position. |
| Business development within Diamond remains positive with a healthy pipeline of opportunities now also widened through the success with Fusion 21. We feel that due to our focus on service and quality combined with the group structure and cross selling opportunities growth will continue to be positive but in a steady and controlled manner. Clients that are not happy with us earning a 5% net margin will continue to be avoided - we feel 5% net is a sustainable level for a business of our type delivering the services and customer experience that we feel is essential. |
| As a business we offer the following: |
| - National 24/7 FM Helpdesk |
| - Emergency Reactive Maintenance across All Trades |
| - M&E Compliance (Gas/Elec/HVAC/Fire etc) |
| - Handyman Regimes |
| - Roofing - through our roofing Division, Nationwide Roofing Repairs |
| - Drainage, Drainage PPM's, Grease Traps etc - through our drainage division, Jet Through |
| - Daily Cleaning / Builders Cleans/Specialist Cleans - through our cleaning division, Nationwide Property Clean |
| - Grounds Maintenance - through our cleaning division, Nationwide Property Clean |
| - Fire Safety - through our division, Sanctuary Fire & Security |
| - Quoted Works - Minor & Major Works & Projects from £500 to £250,000 |
| Our client base continues to strengthen with our target clients being those with multiple properties spread throughout the UK. Many of our clients have been with us for 7-14 years which is testament to what we do and how we do it. We have a very balanced portfolio with no one client dominating turnover. |

| STRATEGIC REPORT |
| FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024 |
| ESG |
| We have a formal & reportable ESG Plan with Ecovadis Accreditation and a partnership with Neutral Carbon Zone at its heart. ESG a significant activity within the latest 3 Year Diamond Strategic Business Plan including a Carbon Reduction Plan with scope 1, 2 and 3 measurement. |
| ESG activity based upon the 17 UN Sustainable Development Goals: |
| - Poverty - we always pay above minimum wage |
| - Hunger - we support the Tamworth Food Bank |
| - Health & Wellbeing - we have a dedicated and confidential mental health line and are implementing the 'Shape' - system for health, attendance, productivity & engagement, we also have various staff awards and training |
| - Gender Equality - we do not distinguish based on gender or ethnicity, we are a female led business |
| - Clean Water - overseas projects and donations |
| - Affordable & Clean Energy - we promote EV cars through free EV charging for staff |
| - Economic Growth - our 3 year business plan includes for significant growth and employment |
| - Industry Innovation - we are implementing Innovation Champions & invest heavily in our own IT |
| - Inequality across countries - we sponsor multiple immigrant/refugee workers/families |
| - Sustainable Communities - we sponsor STEPS (Cerebral Palsy), MND Association, Tamworth Food Bank, Olton Ravens Boys FC |
| - Responsible Consumption of Natural Resources - we are partnering with Neutral Carbon Zone and looking at being carbon neutral by 2035 |
| - Corporate Governance - we are tightly controlled operationally and financially and operate to the highest standards with ISO 9001, 14001 and 45001 |
| Business Development |
| Our key markets continue to be Care, Retail, Leisure & Hospitality, Industrial/Distribution, Education, Accommodation and Commercial. These markets are still best suited to our strengths and are the sectors where we excel. The cross selling opportunities within the group are significant and our ability to offer either an integrated solution or a single service solution means the market remains wide open. We are still very much a private sector company but with our success on the Fusion 21 framework we now see an equal opportunity within the public sector to complement our private sector clients and hence the market we can target has doubled. We have a very targeted approach to sales and as such do not employ a large sales team but focus on targeted campaigns and key events throughout the year. |
| Our strategy continues to be one of great service through direct labour with robust margins managed via a wholly owned and bespoke CAFM system. Our vision continues to be the leading FM provider in terms of client service through direct labour. |
| Health, Safety, Quality and Environment |
| We continue to hold all necessary standards - ISO 9001, ISO 14001, ISO 45001 and are also accredited with Safecontractor, CHAS, Constructionline, BESA and SFG20 as well as the various trade bodies such as NICEIC, OFTEC, Gas Safe, F-Gas, BICS. Our record is excellent and we continue to pass all annual audits. |
| Financial Performance |
| The year ended with a turnover of £12.4m, a gross profit of £2.7m (21.9%) and a net profit of £0.3m (2.4%). Diamond continues to perform well enabling investment throughout the group with significant investment in our in-house web portal management system. |

| DIAMOND FACILITIES SUPPORT LIMITED (REGISTERED NUMBER: 07145959) |
| REPORT OF THE DIRECTORS |
| FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024 |
| The directors present their report with the financial statements of the company for the year ended 31 December 2024. |
| DIVIDENDS |
| No dividends will be distributed for the year ended 31 December 2024. |
| DIRECTORS |
| The directors shown below have held office during the whole of the period from 1 January 2024 to the date of this report. |
| Other changes in directors holding office are as follows: |
| STATEMENT OF DIRECTORS' RESPONSIBILITIES |
| The directors are responsible for preparing the Strategic Report, the Report of the Directors and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and regulations. |
| Company law requires the directors to prepare financial statements for each financial year. Under that law the directors have elected to prepare the financial statements in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice (United Kingdom Accounting Standards and applicable law). Under company law the directors must not approve the financial statements unless they are satisfied that they give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the company and of the profit or loss of the company for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the directors are required to: |
| - | select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently; |
| - | make judgements and accounting estimates that are reasonable and prudent; |
| - | prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the company will continue in business. |
| The directors are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that are sufficient to show and explain the company's transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the company and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities. |
| STATEMENT AS TO DISCLOSURE OF INFORMATION TO AUDITORS |
| So far as the directors are aware, there is no relevant audit information (as defined by Section 418 of the Companies Act 2006) of which the company's auditors are unaware, and each director has taken all the steps that he or she ought to have taken as a director in order to make himself or herself aware of any relevant audit information and to establish that the company's auditors are aware of that information. |
| AUDITORS |
| The auditors, Philip Barnes & Co Limited, will be proposed for re-appointment at the forthcoming Annual General Meeting. |
| ON BEHALF OF THE BOARD: |
| REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE MEMBERS OF |
| DIAMOND FACILITIES SUPPORT LIMITED |
| Opinion |
| We have audited the financial statements of Diamond Facilities Support Limited (the 'company') for the year ended 31 December 2024 which comprise the Income Statement, Other Comprehensive Income, Balance Sheet, Statement of Changes in Equity and Notes to the Financial Statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards, including Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland' (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice). |
| In our opinion the financial statements: |
| - | give a true and fair view of the state of the company's affairs as at 31 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 UK, including the FRC's Ethical Standard, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. |
| Conclusions relating to going concern |
| In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the directors' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate. |
| Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the company's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue. |
| Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the directors with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report. |
| Other information |
| The directors are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information in the Strategic Report and the Report of the Directors, but does not include the financial statements and our Report of the Auditors thereon. |
| Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report, we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon. |
| In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether this gives rise to a material misstatement in the financial statements themselves. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard. |
| Opinions on other matters prescribed by the Companies Act 2006 |
| In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of the audit: |
| - | the information given in the Strategic Report and the Report of the Directors for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements; and |
| - | the Strategic Report and the Report of the Directors have been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements. |
| REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE MEMBERS OF |
| DIAMOND FACILITIES SUPPORT LIMITED |
| Matters on which we are required to report by exception |
| In the light of the knowledge and understanding of the company and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the Strategic Report or the Report of the Directors. |
| We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters where the Companies Act 2006 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion: |
| - | adequate accounting records have not been kept, or returns adequate for our audit have not been received from branches not visited by us; or |
| - | the financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns; or |
| - | certain disclosures of directors' remuneration specified by law are not made; or |
| - | we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit. |
| Responsibilities of directors |
| As explained more fully in the Statement of Directors' Responsibilities set out on page five, the directors are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as the directors determine necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. |
| In preparing the financial statements, the directors are responsible for assessing the company's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the directors either intend to liquidate the company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so. |
| REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE MEMBERS OF |
| DIAMOND FACILITIES SUPPORT LIMITED |
| 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: |
| 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. |
| In identifying and assessing risk of material misstatement in respect of irregularities, including fraud and non-compliance with laws and regulations, our procedures included the following: |
| - We obtained an understanding of the legal and regulatory frameworks applicable to the Company and the sector within which it operates. We determined the following laws and regulations were most significant: the Companies Act 2006, UK employment law, UK tax laws and health & safety regulations. |
| - We obtained an understanding of how the Company is complying with those legal and regulatory requirements by making enquiries with management, carrying out a review of the payroll function and reviewing legal costs incurred in the year. |
| - We assessed the susceptibility of the Company's financial statements to material misstatement, due to fraud or error, and including how fraud might occur. |
| Audit procedures performed by the audit engagement team included: |
| - Identifying the controls that management has in place to prevent and detect fraud |
| - Auditing the appropriateness of accounting estimates, challenging assumptions and judgements made by management to ensure no management bias |
| - Testing journal entries and other adjustments made by the client to evaluate business rationale of significant transactions to ensure no management override |
| - Assessing extent of compliance with the relevant laws and regulations |
| A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the Financial Reporting Council's website at www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our Report of the Auditors. |
| Use of our report |
| This report is made solely to the company's members, as a body, in accordance with Chapter 3 of Part 16 of the Companies Act 2006. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the company's members those matters we are required to state to them in a Report of the Auditors and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the company and the company's members as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed. |
