The directors present the strategic report for the year ended 31 March 2025.

The Company’s core competencies are the design, build and delivery of solutions that meet the requirements of its clients, to enable them to engage with their customers better and meet their customers' demands for travel products.

Whilst the Company was well positioned heading into the year, it was clear there were some headwinds surfacing, as the trading landscape was becoming ever more competitive which would have a direct impact on margin, combined with the severe cost of living crisis manifesting itself in the economy. Both of these issues meant that the core strategy of placing our customers' needs as a priority became ever more important while a drive to find efficiency gains also became a key focus to enable profit growth. Prices in the market for travel increased materially which had a direct impact on customers’ decision making around their holiday choices.

During the year there were also some additional challenges around trading in Egypt where some of our clients were based, as it became impossible for Egyptian clients to pay foreign suppliers, which meant a pausing of our programmes in this territory.

Despite all these challenges the Company was still able to achieve sales growth in the two areas where it has direct control, being the sale of the core gift card product and the growth of the homeworker business. Whilst the issues previously mentioned did have a direct impact on pre tax profits, the directors are still delighted to present a positive set of results for the year with significant top line growth, and with the internal plans implemented through the year the Company is well positioned to continue this growth and also convert it into profit growth. As in the previous year, the Company continues to focus on customer care as a core objective and directs a significant amount of resource to this area. This has enabled the Company to develop a strategy around customer retention for future years.

Both the Homeworking division and the Gift Card division showed material sales growth year on year and the future plans for continued growth in the next years are firmly entrenched in our business model. Total sales of Gift Cards in FY25 were £5.8m compared to the previous year of £4.6m, an increase of 26%.

The Company has set up a new subsidiary in Germany to enable further expansion into Europe for this product which the Company believes could generate significant further growth.

The Homeworker division continues to grow at a significant rate, with gross turnover in FY24 of £11.4m growing to FY25 £18.4m, an increase of 61%, compared to the previous year’s increase of 46%. The market here continues to be competitive but the strategy that Lisa Henning has applied in this area is clearly working and further continued growth in this area is expected.

Whilst the economy had a direct impact on the charity sector of the business, this still forms an important vertical channel for the Company and we work closely with our charity partners to ensure that we provide the best service to these clients and become the provider of choice in this arena. We are also close to signing a further charity partner in the new year to add to our portfolio of existing charity partners of Family Fund, Kidney Care UK and Family Holiday Charity. The Board feel that there are other charity partners that would benefit from the services we can provide.

As the Company recognises revenue on a booking basis, the results for the current year showed a continued sales increase on the previous year. This was due to the increased demand for travel from our customers, aligned with the service given to these customers during the pandemic and the preceeding years. As there is a lead time between the issuance of gift cards and grants to seeing recognisable revenue, the increase from prior years which saw increases in sales of gift cards was expected to have this impact on turnover. The Company has invested further in business development with this product for the coming year.

Gross Transaction Turnover for the year increased from the previous year by 22%, the total for the year being £38.82m (2024: £31.76m).

Gross Profit for the year was £3.41m (2024: £3.42m) therefore essentially flat year on year which is as a result of the items listed above.

Profit before taxation was £504k (2024: £703k) which was a result of the significant increase in costs in the year in salaries and from suppliers due to the effect of the cost of living crisis.

The Company continued to introduce key initiatives around staff welfare and Company values during the year, with the intention that this provides a better working environment for the Company to build on the results of the current year. This is evident in the low levels of staff attrition the Company experiences. As the year has progressed, it has become more evident that further opportunities for growth have and will continue to present themselves to the Company, and each opportunity will be assessed to ensure that it aligns with the direction the Company is wishing to go in.

During the year the Company continued to have weekly Board meetings where all issues and opportunities were discussed, and the strategic direction of the business assessed.

The following are the main issues the Board sees as risks along with the policies designed to mitigate these:

• Adverse economic market and conditions

  • the current economic climate with the ongoing Cost-of-Living Crisis and higher interest rates than have been experienced for many years clearly poses a continual potential problem for the industry. The market for holiday products continues to hold up well despite rising prices in the current climate and the Company is focussed on always reviewing the market and ensuring its products are positioned appropriately.

     

• Covid-19 or any future health pandemic

  • the pandemic was an unknown quantity in 2020 with no understanding of how long its impact was going to last. The Company was restructured to make its workforce more nimble and be able to deal with the challenges presented and it is clear this work allowed the Company to be in a strong position to take advantage as the demand by consumers for holidays returned. The Company continues to look at future critical events that may occur and has plans developed to deal with the various scenarios the Company may face.

     

• Terrorism threat and Supplier Failure threat

  • Ensuring that teams can be quickly deployed and to deal with adverse events having a wide range of offerings so that alternative destinations can be offered

     

• Cuts in government funding for charities

  • the Company continues its strategy to further develop a home worker based sales model with a wider demographic reach, and to develop its Gift Card product expanding into new geographical areas so as to minimise the reliance on the charity sector

  • continued emphasis on product development, innovation and customer service to the wider market

  • ongoing assessment of new routes to market and new territories where our product portfolio can be delivered

     

• Reliance and retention of sales and key personnel

  • regular review and appraisal program implemented with key personnel through out the year

  • training and development needs assessed and agreed with individuals through the year

  • review of remuneration packages by the Board

The Company continues with the two developments from recent years, being the Gift Card Trust which protects all

monies received for the sale of Inspire Gift Cards until such time the card is used in a booking, and the Escrow Account for monies received in relation to flight package holidays sold where Inspire is the principal. Both continue to be successfully incorporated into the operational aspects of the business.

The Company has developed many other initiatives during the year, with the main focuses around staff welfare, sustainability both for the business and the product range we sell and developing new revenue streams to enhance those already in place.

One of the key drivers operationally is to investigate further investment projects in the coming year to ensure that it can improve efficiencies still further, and to further enhance its offering of the provision of travel and loyalty solutions to its customers. As the lessons learnt from Covid are banked, a lot of efficiency opportunities can now be explored, in areas such as administration, delivery and even merchant acquiring, and it is believed these will add gains to the Company in the coming years.

Other information and explanations

During the year the business went through a management restructure which involved three directors of Inspire Europe Limited resigning their positions to focus all their energies in driving forward Inspire GBR Limited. The remaining directors, Lisa Henning and Richard Buxton, continue to manage Inspire Europe Limited on a day-to-day basis in their roles as Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer.

Health and Safety

The Company seeks to comply with all relevant health and safety legislation and regulations in recognising its obligations to ensure, as far as is practically possible, that safe working rules and a safe environment are established and maintained to secure employees’ health, safety and welfare at work.

In summary, the Board believes that all the steps it took to navigate a long-term path through what were unprecedented challenges perpetuated by Covid 19 and which were impossible to foresee have allowed the Company to prevail in the strongest position it can be and this has been proven during the last 12 months. It also believes that the service it has provided to its customers and clients during the crisis has been, and continues to be, of the highest quality in extremely challenging circumstances, and believes that this, combined with its infrastructure and lack of exposure to certain markets within the travel industry will enable it to develop further in the coming years. The results for the current year give the Board confidence that the demand for travel products has a long term future, and along with the initiatives outlined in ‘Current and Future Developments’ the Board believe the Company is well placed to further grow in future years.

On behalf of the board

The directors present their annual report and financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2025.

The principal activity of the company continued to be the provision of rewards and incentives, and general travel.

The results for the year are set out on page 9.

Ordinary dividends were paid amounting to £411,918. 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 auditor, Royce Peeling Green Limited, is deemed to be reappointed under section 487(2) of the Companies Act 2006.

The directors are responsible for preparing the annual report 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; 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.

So far as each person who was a director at the date of approving this report is aware, there is no relevant audit information of which the company’s auditor is unaware. Additionally, the directors individually have taken all the necessary steps that they ought to have taken as directors in order to make themselves aware of all relevant audit information and to establish that the company’s auditor is aware of that information.

This report has been prepared in accordance with the provisions applicable to companies entitled to the medium-sized companies exemption.

We have audited the financial statements of Inspire Europe Limited (the 'company') for the year ended 31 March 2025 which comprise the statement of comprehensive income, the balance sheet, the statement of changes in equity, the statement of cash flows 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).

In our opinion the financial statements:

• give a true and fair view of the state of the company's affairs as at 31 March 2025 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 Auditor's 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 other information comprises the information included in the annual report other than the financial statements and our auditor's report thereon. The directors are responsible for the other information contained within the annual report. 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. 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.

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.

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.

As explained more fully in the directors' responsibilities statement, 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.

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 auditor's 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.

• At the planning stage of the audit we gain an understanding of the laws and regulations which apply to the company and how management seek to comply with them. This helps us to make appropriate risk assessments.

• During the audit we focus on relevant risk areas and review compliance with laws and regulations through making relevant enquiries and corroboration by, for example, reviewing Board Minutes and other documentation.

• We assess the risk of material misstatement in the financial statements including  as a result of  fraud and undertake procedures including:

  1. I.    Review of controls set in place by management

  2. II.    Enquiry of management as to whether they consider fraud or other irregularities may have occurred or where such opportunity might exist

  3. III.    Challenge of management assumptions with regard to accounting estimates

  4. IV.    Identification and testing of journal entries, particularly those which may appear to be unusual by size or nature.

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 are 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 is located 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.

The profit and loss account has been prepared on the basis that all operations are continuing operations.

For details of the prior year restatement see note 22.

These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the provisions relating to medium-sized companies.

Inspire Europe Limited is a private company limited by shares incorporated in England and Wales. The registered office is Victoria House, 19-21 Ack Lane, Bramhall, Cheshire, SK7 2BE.

These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with FRS 102 “The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland” (“FRS 102”) and the requirements of the Companies Act 2006.

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 £.

The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention. The principal accounting policies adopted are set out below.

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 26 ‘Share based Payment’: Share-based payment expense charged to profit or loss, reconciliation of opening and closing number and weighted average exercise price of share options, how the fair value of options granted was measured, measurement and carrying amount of liabilities for cash-settled share-based payments, explanation of modifications to arrangements;

• Section 33 ‘Related Party Disclosures’: Compensation for key management personnel.

The financial statements of the company are consolidated in the financial statements of Inspiring Travel 2024 Limited. These consolidated financial statements are available from its registered office.

Atruet the time of approving the 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.

Turnover represents the total invoice value, excluding value added tax, of sales made during the period and derives from the provision of goods falling within the company's ordinary activities. Turnover in relation to travel, is recognised at the date of booking.

The nature, timing of satisfaction of performance obligations and significant payment terms of the company's major sources of revenue are as follows:

Intangible assets acquired separately from a business are recognised at cost and are subsequently measured at cost less accumulated amortisation and accumulated impairment losses.

Intangible assets acquired on business combinations are recognised separately from goodwill at the acquisition date where it is probable that the expected future economic benefits that are attributable to the asset will flow to the entity and the fair value of the asset can be measured reliably; the intangible asset arises from contractual or other legal rights; and the intangible asset is separable from the entity.

Tangible fixed assets are initially measured at cost and subsequently measured at cost or valuation, net of depreciation and any impairment losses.

Depreciation is recognised so as to write off the cost or valuation of assets less their residual values over their useful lives on the following bases:

The gain or loss arising on the disposal of an asset is determined as the difference between the sale proceeds and the carrying value of the asset, and is credited or charged to profit or loss.

Interests in subsidiaries, associates and jointly controlled entities are initially measured at cost and subsequently measured at cost less any accumulated impairment losses. The investments are assessed for impairment at each reporting date and any impairment losses or reversals of impairment losses are recognised immediately in profit or loss.

A subsidiary is an entity controlled by the company. Control is the power to govern the financial and operating policies of the entity so as to obtain benefits from its activities.

An associate is an entity, being neither a subsidiary nor a joint venture, in which the company holds a long-term interest and where the company has significant influence. The company considers that it has significant influence where it has the power to participate in the financial and operating decisions of the associate.

Entities in which the company has a long term interest and shares control under a contractual arrangement are classified as jointly controlled entities.

At each reporting period end date, the company reviews the carrying amounts of its tangible and intangible assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss (if any). Where it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, the company estimates the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs.

Recoverable amount is the higher of fair value less costs to sell and value in use. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset for which the estimates of future cash flows have not been adjusted.

If the recoverable amount of an asset (or cash-generating unit) is estimated to be less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of the asset (or cash-generating unit) is reduced to its recoverable amount. An impairment loss is recognised immediately in profit or loss, unless the relevant asset is carried at a revalued amount, in which case the impairment loss is treated as a revaluation decrease.

Recognised impairment losses are reversed if, and only if, the reasons for the impairment loss have ceased to apply. Where an impairment loss subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of the asset (or cash-generating unit) is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, but so that the increased carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognised for the asset (or cash-generating unit) in prior years. A reversal of an impairment loss is recognised immediately in profit or loss, unless the relevant asset is carried at a revalued amount, in which case the reversal of the impairment loss is treated as a revaluation increase.

Stocks are stated at the lower of cost and estimated selling price less costs to complete and sell. Cost comprises direct materials and, where applicable, direct labour costs and those overheads that have been incurred in bringing the stocks to their present location and condition.

Stocks held for distribution at no or nominal consideration are measured at the lower of cost and replacement cost, adjusted where applicable for any loss of service potential.

At each reporting date, an assessment is made for impairment. Any excess of the carrying amount of stocks over its estimated selling price less costs to complete and sell is recognised as an impairment loss in profit or loss. Reversals of impairment losses are also recognised in profit or loss.

Cash and cash equivalents 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, and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are shown within borrowings in current liabilities.

The company has elected to apply the provisions of Section 11 ‘Basic Financial Instruments’ and Section 12 ‘Other Financial Instruments Issues’ of FRS 102 to all of its financial instruments.

Financial instruments are recognised in the company's balance sheet when the company becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.

Financial assets and liabilities are offset, with the net amounts presented in the financial statements, when there is a legally enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

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.

Other financial assets, including investments in equity instruments which are not subsidiaries, associates or joint ventures, are initially measured at fair value, which is normally the transaction price. Such assets are subsequently carried at fair value and the changes in fair value are recognised in profit or loss, except that investments in equity instruments that are not publicly traded and whose fair values cannot be measured reliably are measured at cost less impairment.

Financial assets, other than those held at fair value through profit and loss, are assessed for indicators of impairment at each reporting end date.

Financial assets are impaired where there is objective evidence that, as a result of one or more events that occurred after the initial recognition of the financial asset, the estimated future cash flows have been affected. If an asset is impaired, the impairment loss is the difference between the carrying amount and the present value of the estimated cash flows discounted at the asset’s original effective interest rate. The impairment loss is recognised in profit or loss.

If there is a decrease in the impairment loss arising from an event occurring after the impairment was recognised, the impairment is reversed. The reversal is such that the current carrying amount does not exceed what the carrying amount would have been, had the impairment not previously been recognised. The impairment reversal is recognised in profit or loss.

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 creditors, bank loans, loans from fellow group companies and preference shares that are classified as debt, 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.

The tax expense represents the sum of the tax currently payable and deferred tax.

The tax currently payable is based on taxable profit for the year. 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 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.

The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at each reporting end date and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profits will be available to allow all or part of the asset to be recovered. Deferred tax is calculated at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the period when the liability is settled or the asset is realised. Deferred tax is charged or credited in the profit and loss account, except when it relates to items charged or credited directly to equity, in which case the deferred tax is also dealt with in equity. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when the company has a legally enforceable right to offset current tax assets and liabilities and the deferred tax assets and liabilities relate to taxes levied by the same tax authority.

The costs of short-term employee benefits are recognised as a liability and an expense, unless those costs are required to be recognised as part of the cost of stock or fixed assets.

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.

Payments to defined contribution retirement benefit schemes are charged as an expense as they fall due.

Rentals payable under operating leases, including any lease incentives received, are charged to profit or loss on a straight line basis over the term of the relevant lease.

Transactions in currencies other than pounds sterling are recorded at the rates of exchange prevailing at the dates of the transactions. At each reporting end date, monetary assets and liabilities that are denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the rates prevailing on the reporting end date. Gains and losses arising on translation in the period are included in profit or loss.

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.

The estimates and assumptions which have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amount of assets and liabilities are as follows.

Depreciation is accounted for in accordance with FRS102. The depreciation expense is the recognition of the decline in the value of the asset and allocation of the cost of the asset over the periods in which the asset will be used. Judgments are made on the estimated useful life of the assets which are regularly reviewed to reflect the changing environment.

The average monthly number of persons (including directors) employed by the company during the year was:

Their aggregate remuneration comprised:

The company operates a defined contribution pension scheme for all qualifying employees. The assets of the scheme are held separately from those of the company in an independently administered fund.

The actual charge for the year can be reconciled to the expected charge for the year based on the profit or loss and the standard rate of tax as follows:

Details of the company's subsidiaries at 31 March 2025 are as follows:

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset where the company has a legally enforceable right to do so. The following is the analysis of the deferred tax balances (after offset) for financial reporting purposes:

In the comparative financial information commissions payable to sub contractors of £893,600 have been restated from administrative expenditure to cost of sales. Administrative expenditure for the year ended 31 March 2024 is now stated as £2,893,332 (pre-restatement: £3,786,932). Cost of sales expenditure for the year ended 31 March 2024 is now stated as £28,338,544 (pre-restatement: £27,444,944).

At the reporting end date the company had outstanding commitments for future minimum lease payments under non-cancellable operating leases, which fall due as follows:

During the year the company entered into the following transactions with related parties:
