Strategic Report
The directors present their strategic report for the year ended 31 March 2025.
Principal Activity
Middlesex Limited specialises in drylining, partitioning, and ceilings for commercial offices and residential apartment blocks. The company operates as a fitout contractor primarily serving tier‑one contractors in London and the South of England.
Review of the Business
 For the financial year ended 31 March 2025, Middlesex Limited generated a turnover of £32,737,112, representing a 2.78% increase compared to the previous year. The company posted a post‑tax profit of £1,401,166 despite the challenges posed by the administration of a key client, ISG Group, on 20 September 2024. This event resulted in a bad debt write‑off of £1,967,438.
The impact of ISG Group’s administration was mitigated by securing direct contracts with former clients of ISG, allowing the company to maintain its project pipeline and revenue momentum. Middlesex Limited’s strong reputation in the fit‑out sector continues to drive growth, supported by a robust pipeline of projects. The company remains focused on expanding its presence in both the commercial and residential markets in London and the South of England.
Principal Risks and Uncertainties
The identification, assessment, and management of risks are central to the execution of Middlesex Limited’s business strategy. The company operates in an inherently high‑risk industry and continuously monitors and addresses these risks to minimise adverse impacts on its operations and financial performance.  The key risks and mitigation strategies include:
1. Construction Risk
The construction industry faces complex project management challenges, including delays, cost overruns, and quality issues. Middlesex Limited addresses these risks through꞉
  • Proven Supply Chain꞉ Working with a well‑established network of trusted suppliers and subcontractors to ensure consistent delivery of materials and services.
  • Robust Project Monitoring: Conducting monthly cost reviews for all projects to ensure they remain on budget and within scope.
  • Proactive Issue Resolution: Implementing an early warning system to identify potential project delays or deviations and taking corrective actions promptly.
2. Financial Risk
The company recognises the importance of maintaining financial stability to sustain operations and growth:
  • Liquidity Management: Regular review of cash flow projections to ensure sufficient working capital. Maintaining contingency funding arrangements to address unexpected financial pressures.
  • Bad Debt Risk: The administration of ISG Group highlighted the importance of credit risk management. The company has enhanced its due diligence procedures and credit terms for new clients to reduce exposure to bad debts.
3. Market Risk
The construction industry is sensitive to economic fluctuations, which can affect demand for commercial and residential projects. The company mitigates market risks by:
  • Diversifying its client base to include both public and private sector projects.
  • Expanding into new market segments, such as modular construction and sustainable building solutions, to capitalise on emerging trends.
  • Building a strong pipeline of contracts to ensure stable revenue streams.
 4. Regulatory and Compliance Risk
The construction sector is subject to extensive regulations, including building standards, health and safety laws, and environmental legislation. Middlesex Limited ensures compliance by:
  • Staying updated on regulatory changes through membership in industry bodies and regular training programs.
  • Employing dedicated compliance officers to oversee adherence to applicable laws and regulations.
  • Implementing robust health and safety policies, ensuring a safe working environment for employees and subcontractors.

Principal Risks and Uncertainties - continued
5. Labour Risk
The industry faces a shortage of skilled labour, which can delay projects and increase costs. Middlesex Limited addresses this risk by:
  • Investing in apprenticeship schemes and on-the-job training to develop a pipeline of skilled workers.
  • Offering competitive remuneration and benefits packages to attract and retain top talent.
  • Partnering with industry training bodies to access a wider pool of qualified professionals.
6. Supply Chain Disruption Risk
Delays or cost increases in the supply chain can significantly affect project delivery. The company mitigates this risk through:
  • Maintaining diversified supplier relationships to avoid over-reliance on a single source.
  • Pre-ordering critical materials and maintaining inventory buffers where possible.
  • Regularly reviewing supplier performance to ensure reliability and quality.
Section 172(1) Statement
The directors have acted in a way that they considered, in good faith, to be most likely to promote the success of the Company for the benefit of its members as a whole and, in doing so, had regard, amongst other matters, to those matters set out in section 172(1)(a) to (f) of the" Companies Act 2006, being:
  • the likely consequences of any decision in the long term;
  • the need to foster the Company's business relationships with suppliers, customers and others; the impact of the Company's operations on the community and the environment;
  • the desirability of the Company maintaining a reputation for high standards of business conduct; and 
  • the need to act fairly as between members of the Group.
Stakeholder Engagement
Middlesex Limited recognises that the success of its business is intrinsically linked to the strength of its relationships with key stakeholders. Building and nurturing these relationships with professionalism, integrity, and fairness ensures the long-term sustainability of the business. Below is an overview of how Middlesex Limited engages with its stakeholders and incorporates their input into decision-making:

Directors' Report
The directors present their report and the financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2025.
Directors
The directors who held office during the year were as follows:
Mr Neil Gordge
Mr Ryan McCullagh
Statement of Directors' Responsibilities
The directors are responsible for preparing the Strategic Report, the Directors' 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, comprising FRS102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland', 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 the financial statements the directors are required to:
  • select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
  • make judgments and accounting estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
  • state whether applicable United Kingdom Accounting Standards, comprising FRS102, have been followed subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements;
  • 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.
The directors are responsible for the maintenance and integrity of the corporate and financial information included on the company's website. Legislation in the United Kingdom governing the preparation and dissemination of financial statements may differ from legislation in other jurisdictions.
Statement of Disclosure of Information to Auditors
In the case of each director in office at the date the Directors' Report is approved:
  • so far as the director is aware, there is no relevant audit information of which the company's auditors are unaware; and
  • they have taken all the steps that they ought to have taken as directors in order to make themselves aware of any relevant audit information and to establish that the company's auditors are aware of that information.
Independent Auditors
The auditors, Ballantyne & Company Limited, have indicated their willingness to continue in office and a resolution concerning their re-appointment will be proposed at the Annual General Meeting.
On behalf of the board

Independent Auditor's Report
Opinion
We have audited the financial statements of Middlesex Limited for the year ended 31 March 2025 which comprise the Statement of Comprehensive Income, Balance Sheet, Statement of Changes of Equity, Cash Flow Statement and the related notes, 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 (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice), including FRS 102 "The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland".
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/(loss) 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 entity's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least 12 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. 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 Directors' Report for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements; and
  • the Strategic Report and 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 or 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 4, 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.
Auditor's 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 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.
The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below: 
We identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, and then design and perform audit procedures in response to those risks. This includes obtaining audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The primary responsibility however, for the prevention and detection of fraud, rests with those charged with governance and executive management of the entity.  In identifying and assessing the risks of material misstatements in respect of irregularities, including fraud and non-compliance with laws and regulations we considered the following:
  • We obtained an understanding of the legal and regulatory framework applicable to the Company. We determined the most significant are those relating to the financial reporting framework (namely the Companies Act 2006, UK GAAP and the application of FRS102), HMRC tax compliance in the UK and EU General Data Protection Regulation. 
  • We developed an understanding of how Middlesex Limited is complying with those frameworks by making enquiries of those charged with governance and executive management. We corroborated our enquiries through correspondence with third party entities where relevant and available. 
  • We assessed the susceptibility of the company's financial statements to material misstatement, including how fraud might occur, at the planning stage of the audit by meeting with executive management to understand where they considered there to be fraud risk and susceptibility. We also reviewed budgeted projections and actual outturn against prior year budget to determine if there were any anomalies. Where we considered audit risk to be higher we undertook tests to mitigate each identified risk
  • We assessed the internal control environment established to mitigate risks of fraud or non-compliance with laws and regulations. In addition to this we evaluated compliance with laws and regulations and made enquiries of any non-compliance. 
  • With regard to detection and responding to fraud we made enquiries of those charged with governance and executive management as to whether there was any knowledge of actual, suspected or alleged fraud. 
  • We undertook discussions amongst the audit engagement team with respect to how and where fraud might occur in the financial statements and what the likely indicator would be.  
  •  As result of the procedures noted above we considered the opportunities and incentives that may exist within the organisation for fraud and identified the greatest potential for fraud to be in the timing of recognition of income; posting of unusual journals; and management override on internal controls. 
There are inherent limitations in the audit procedures described above and the further removed non-compliance with laws and regulations is from events and transactions reflected in the financial statements, the less likely we would be to become aware of it. Also, 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 by, for example, forgery or international misrepresentations, or through collusion. 
A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the Financial Reporting Council's website 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 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 that we are required to state to them 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 members as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

Notes to the Financial Statements
1. General Information
Middlesex Limited is a private company, limited by shares, incorporated in England & Wales, registered number 05395854 . The registered office is Darwin House, Bourne End Business Park, Cores End Road, Bourne End, Buckinghamshire, SL8 5AS.
2. Accounting Policies
2.1. Basis of Preparation of Financial Statements
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention and in accordance with Financial Reporting Standard 102 "The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland'' and the Companies Act 2006.
2.2. Significant judgements and estimations
The preparation of the financial statements requires the company to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect items reported. Such estimates and assumptions are based on management's best knowledge of current facts, circumstances and future events. Actual results may differ, possibly significantly, from those estimates.
Contract accounting requires estimates to be made for contract costs and income. In many cases, these contractual obligations span more than one financial period. Also the costs and income may be affected by a number of uncertainties that depend on the outcome of future events and may need to be revised as events unfold and uncertainties are resolved. Management bases its estimation of costs and income and its assessment of the expected outcome of each contractual obligation on the latest available information. This includes detailed contract valuations, forecasts of the costs to complete, variations and claims with customers and progress against agreed programme of works. The reliable estimates of the contract position, reflecting both the forecasted costs and the forecasted revenue on each contract, and the profit or loss earned to date are updated regularly and significant changes are highlighted through established internal reporting and review procedures. The impact of any change in the accounting estimates is then reflected in the financial statements. In deriving a reliable estimate, revenue is recognised to the extent that amounts forecast from variations and claims are agreed or considered, in management's judgement, probable to be agreed.
2.3. Turnover
Turnover is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, net of discounts and value added taxes. Turnover includes revenue earned from the sale of goods and from the rendering of services. Turnover is reduced for estimated customer returns, rebates and other similar allowances.
Sale of goods
Turnover from the sale of goods is recognised when the significant risks and rewards of ownership of the goods has transferred to the buyer. This is usually at the point that the customer has signed for the delivery of the goods.
Rendering of services
Turnover from the rendering of services is recognised by reference to the stage of completion of the contract. The stage of completion of a contract is measured by comparing the costs incurred for work performed to date to the total estimated contract costs. Turnover is only recognised to the extent of recoverable expenses when the outcome of a contract cannot be estimated reliably.

Construction contract
Revenue from construction contracts is recognised over time using the Output method to measure progress toward satisfaction of performance obligations. This method reflects the value of work completed to date, based on Contract Valuation certified by the customer
2.4. Tangible Fixed Assets and Depreciation
Tangible fixed assets are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses. Depreciation is provided at rates calculated to write off the cost of the fixed assets, less their estimated residual value, over their expected useful lives on the following bases:
Plant & Machinery 25% reducing balance
Motor Vehicles 25% reducing balance
Computer Equipment 25% reducing balance
2.5. Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents are basic financial assets and include cash in hand and deposits held at call with banks, other short-term highly liquid investments that mature in no more than three months from the date of acquisition and are readily convertible to a known amount of cash with insignificant risk of change in value, and bank overdrafts.

2.6. Taxation
Income 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 profit as reported in the statement of comprehensive income because of items of income or expense that are taxable or deductible in other years and 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 end of the reporting period.
Deferred tax is recognised on timing differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the financial statements and the corresponding tax bases used in the computation of taxable profit. Deferred tax liabilities are generally recognised for all taxable timing differences. Deferred tax assets are generally recognised for all deductible temporary differences to the extent that it is probable that taxable profits will be available against which those deductible timing differences can be utilised. The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at the end of each reporting period 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 assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the period in which the liability is settled or the asset realised, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period. Deferred tax liabilities are presented within provisions for liabilities and deferred tax assets within debtors. The measurement of deferred tax liabilities and assets reflect the tax consequences that would follow from the manner in which the Company expects, at the end of the reporting period, to recover or settle the carrying amount of its assets and liabilities.
Current and deferred tax are recognised in profit or loss for the year, except when they relate to items that are recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, in which case current and deferred tax are recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity respectively.
