Business review
 
The performance of the business was in line with the directors expectations and the business generated a profit of £2.8m (2023: £9.2m) after tax with a turnover of £240.8m (2023: £143.8m) and the net assets of the company as at 31 December 2024 was £22.3m. 
The year has experienced significant pressure on margins from government infrastructure projects and the company has taken actions to address this change in the business.
The directors remain committed to managing the company’s strategic direction to match that of the markets it operates in currently and the new markets it is seeking to enter. A key focus point for the directors is on expanding the service offering of the business to its existing customers and acquiring new customers to service. The directors deem it essential that the business continues to remain on a strong sustainable footing financially and continues to be a key strategic partner of its customers, suppliers and stakeholders. The key performance indicators above show a consistent and growing business.  

Future prospects

The company continues to work on some of the largest construction and infrastructure projects currently in progress in the UK. The company is leading the sector in technology driven automation of its processes which is assisting the company in maintaining sustainable profit margins despite the competitive marketplace. The directors remain committed to optimal digitisation of the company’s operation to offer more efficient, safer and cost effective solutions to the marketplace. 

Going concern

The company has a strong balance sheet with strong liquidity, a healthy order book from long standing blue chip customers and no third party borrowing. The directors are confident that the company can continue to trade successfully for the foreseeable future and meet its obligations as they fall due. As such, the company continues to adopt the going concern basis in its preparation of these financial statements.

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

Family values

The company has been successfully trading for the past 35 years since 1991 but it had its origin in the early 1980's and strives to promote and retain the family culture in all that it does. Whilst the business is built on tradition and family values, it continues to evolve to meet the needs of our clients, staff and stakeholders to ensure a superior level of service and performance.

Company’s stakeholders

The primary responsibility of the Board is to promote the long term success of the company for the benefit of the shareholders, but the directors acknowledge that long term success and reputation is dependent on our responsibility to balance the interests of all other stakeholders who we come into contact with, in order to deliver the best possible outcome for all concerned.

Section 172 of the Companies Act 2006 requires us to report each year on how we fulfil these obligations.

Customers
Our customers are at the heart of our business, with whom we are in constant dialogue and we strive to give them the best possible service and to enhance our relationship for our mutual benefit and that of the wider community.

Our employees
Our employees are key to the success of our business. We have a ‘hands-on’ family culture where our directors and managers are actively involved on our projects on a day-to-day basis and who constantly engage with our employees and keep them informed of business development, forecasts and prospects. We have longstanding experienced employees, we expect and maintain high standards and we offer a rewarding career progression. Health and safety training and wellbeing is a constant that is promoted and maintained as a core value. We thank our employees for their dedication and commitment.

Subcontractors and suppliers
We constantly assess and monitor the strong links we have with our suppliers who are a crucial part of our successful business and without whom we could not operate, so we treat them in the same way we treat our employees in terms of communication, payment, terms and conditions and inclusivity and who we expect to adhere to our high standards. Our policy remains to pay our suppliers promptly at the end of the month following the month of delivery and this applies to the vast majority of our transactions. Where different terms are agreed in certain circumstances we are committed to adhering to our side of such agreements. 

Local community and the environment 
We acknowledge the external impact of our activities on local communities and on the environment. We create local employment opportunities in our areas of operation and we engage local subcontractors and we do business with local suppliers.

Other controls
We acknowledge our ethical, moral and social responsibilities and the aim of the company to maintain high standards of business conduct remains paramount. We are opposed to all forms of discrimination. We obtain external assurance through audits and through national and international standards compliance and accreditations

The directors are confident that through continued prudent and considered liquidity management the company can meet its obligations as they fall due.

The directors and senior managers, aided by the company’s dedicated in house head of Health, Safety, Environment and Quality and professionals, continue to promote market leading health and safety policies, practices and awareness throughout the company’s operations.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF DANNY SULLIVAN & SONS LIMITED
 

Opinion


We have audited the financial statements of Danny Sullivan & Sons Limited (the 'company') for the period ended 31 December 2024, which comprise the Profit and Loss Account, 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 period then ended;
have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice; and
have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006.


Basis for opinion


We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors' responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the 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 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.

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 period 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 5, 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 DANNY SULLIVAN & SONS 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 the legal and regulatory framework applicable to the company and the industry in which it operates, through discussions with directors and senior management and from our commercial knowledge and experience of the construction industry.
We focused on specific laws and regulations which we considered may have a material effect on the financial statements or the operations of the company, including the Companies Act 2006, taxation legislation, data protection, anti-bribery, employment, environmental and health and safety legislation.
We assessed the extent of compliance with these laws and regulations through discussions and enquiry with directors and senior management. 
We assessed the susceptibility of the company’s financial statements to material misstatement, including how fraud might occur.
We considered the financial controls in place to mitigate risks of fraud and error, including the risk of management bias or override. We tested the appropriateness of journal entries that appeared unusual as to nature or amount.
Our audit procedures were designed to respond to the risks of material misstatement in the financial statements, recognising that the risk of not detecting a material misstatement due to fraud is higher than the risk of not detecting one resulting from error, as fraud may involve deliberate concealment or collusion. There are inherent limitations in the audit procedures performed and the further removed non-compliance with laws and regulations are from financial transactions, the less likely we are to become aware of it.


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.

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

1.


General information

Danny Sullivan & Sons Limited is a private company limited by shares incorporated in England and Wales. The registered office is 22 Barretts Green Road, Park Royal, London, NW10 7AE.

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 financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the company.
The company is entitled to the exemption under section 400 of the Companies Act 2006 from obligation to prepare group accounts.

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

The Strategic Report sets out the company's business activities, and highlights the factors which may impact on its financial performance, market position and future prospects.
The Strategic Report also provides information in relation to the company's principal risks and uncertainties, including details of its financial instruments, management of capital and exposure to credit and liquidity risk.
The company has a substantial order book for the twelve months from the date of approval of these financial statements and its forecasts indicate that it will continue to generate profit and positive cash flows for the foreseeable future.
As a consequence, the directors believe that the company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence and that it is well placed to continue to manage its business risks successfully. Thus they continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the annual financial statements.

 
2.3

Turnover

Turnover from services provided to the construction industry is recognised at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable excluding value added taxes. It represents the invoiced value of the services which are provided.

 
2.4

Pensions

The company operates a defined pension contribution plan for its employees. 
The contributions are recognised as an expense in the Profit and Loss Account when they fall due. Amounts not paid are shown as a liability in the Balance Sheet. The assets of the plan are held separately from the company in independently administered funds.

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

2.Accounting policies (continued)

  
2.5

Employee benefits

The cost of any unused holiday entitlement is recognised in the period in which the employee's services are received.
Termination benefits are recognised immediately as an expense when the company is demonstrably committed to terminate the employment of an employee or to provide termination benefits.

 
2.6

Current and deferred taxation

The tax expense for the period comprises current and deferred tax.
Current tax
The tax currently payable is based on taxable profit for the period. Taxable profit differs from net profit as reported in the profit and loss account because it excludes items of income or expense that are taxable or deductible in other years and it further excludes items that are never taxable or deductible. The company’s liability for current tax is calculated using tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting end date.
Deferred tax
Deferred tax liabilities are generally recognised for all timing differences and deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that they will be recovered against the reversal of deferred tax liabilities or other future taxable profits. Such assets and liabilities are not recognised if the timing difference arises from goodwill or from the initial recognition of other assets and liabilities in a transaction that affects neither the tax profit nor the accounting profit.

 
2.7

Intangible assets - Software Development

Intangible assets are initially recognised at cost. After recognition, under the cost model, intangible assets are measured at cost less any accumulated amortisation and any accumulated impairment losses.

All intangible assets are considered to have a finite useful life. If a reliable estimate of the useful life cannot be made, the useful life shall not exceed ten years.

 
2.8

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.

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

2.Accounting policies (continued)


2.8
Tangible fixed assets (continued)

Depreciation is charged so as to allocate the cost of assets less their residual value over their estimated useful lives, using the straight-line method.

Depreciation is provided on the following basis:

Plant and machinery
-
Straight-line over 4 years
Motor vehicles
-
Straight-line over 4 years
Fixtures and fittings
-
Straight-line over 5 years

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.

Freehold properties are maintained so as to ensure that their values do not diminish over time. The maintenance costs are charged to the profit and loss account in the period in which they are incurred. In the director's opinion, depreciation would be immaterial and has not been charged.

 
2.9

Valuation of investments

Investments in subsidiaries are measured at cost less accumulated impairment.

 
2.10

Stocks

Stocks are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value.


 
2.11

Cash and cash equivalents

Cash at bank and in hand are basic financial assets and include cash in hand, deposits held at call with banks, other short-term liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less.

 
2.12

Financial instruments

The company has taken advantage of the disclosure exemptions of FRS 102, Section 1 paragraph 1.12 (c) in respect of financial instruments as information is included in the consolidated financial statements.

 
2.13

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.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

3.


Judgements in applying accounting policies and key sources of estimation uncertainty

The preparation of financial statements under FRS 102 requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect amounts recognised for assets and liabilities at the balance sheet date and the amounts of revenue and expenses incurred during the period. Actual outcome may therefore differ from these estimates and assumptions. The estimates and assumptions that have the most significant impact on the carrying values of assets and liabilities of the company within the next financial year are detailed as follows: 
Tangible and intangible fixed assets
Tangible and intangible fixed assets are depreciated or amortised over their useful lives taking into account residual values, where appropriate. The actual lives of the assets and residual values are assessed annually and may vary depending on a number of factors such as technological innovations, maintenance and projected disposal values.  
Provisions
The Company, from time to time, receive claims in respect of services performed. In assessing the potential outcome of a claim, the directors make a judgement to assess the probable outcome of the matter. A different judgement may affect both the timing and extent of the recognition of expenses and liabilities as well as the disclosure within these financial statements.
Provisions for claims are liabilities of an uncertain timing and amount therefore, in making a reliable estimate of the amount and timing of such liabilities, judgement is applied. These estimates depend on the outcome and timing of future events and may need to be revised as circumstances change.


4.


Turnover

The total turnover of the company for the year has been derived from its principal activity wholly undertaken in the UK and all of which is continuing.
