Strategic Report
The director presents his strategic report for the year ended 31 March 2025.
Principal Activity
NOTE: Since this report was written, Temple Group Ltd (Temple) was acquired by Ramboll UK Ltd (Ramboll). The report states Temple’s principal activities, performance for the year ended 31 March 2025, as well as the Board’s approach to risks and uncertainty and its view on the market outlook, prior to Temple’s acquisition by Ramboll on the 1st of May, 2025.
This acquisition demonstrates Ramboll’s belief in the value of Temple Group Ltd as a business and its people, as well as Ramboll’s commitment to investing in the UK region, delivering sustainable growth, and continuing to enhance their offering as a leading sustainable and environmental business both in the UK and globally.
As of April 1, 2025, Linckia Ltd, a new business focused on geospatial products and services in the sustainability market was formed and this remains a subsidiary of Temple Group Management Ltd. 
Temple Group Management is the parent company and wholly owns Temple Group Ltd.  Temple is a leading independent infrastructure and development consultancy specialising in environment, planning, and sustainability services. We are committed to balancing profit with purpose, considering the impact of our decisions on society, the environment, and our team. The B Corp status of Temple Group demonstrates our commitment to the same, notably high standards of social and environmental responsibility, accountability, and transparency.
Guided by our company ethos, our primary goal is long-term value creation for all stakeholders, promoting sustainable development, and positively impacting society and the planet. 
Review of the Business
Last year saw reduced revenue from HS2 and other major government infrastructure contracts, along with market uncertainty due to the UK general election and wider geopolitical events. In response, we continued to commit to invest in our digital program, enhanced service offerings, new partnerships, and further diversification, alongside our B-Corp and volunteering activities.
Notable achievements for Temple Group included sustained growth in energy, water, marine, and advisory markets, success in property and rail sectors, establishment of an international ESG service line, early success in environmental technical support for data centres, and relocating our head office to a central London location near Blackfriars station.
The investment in the digital delivery team and key partnerships led to innovative digital products in biodiversity net gain, behavioural carbon, and natural capital. 
The reported revenue for the year ended 31 March 2025 is £10.3m with a PBT (loss) of £241k compared to revenue of £10m and a loss of £1.4m for the period to 31 March 2024.
Despite the financial results falling short of our ambitious targets, they are a significant improvement over 2023/24, demonstrating an upward trajectory and progress in the context of our commitment to long-term value creation and growing a sustainable business. Further investment in digital and diversified services has and will continue to help us capitalise on opportunities in major infrastructure and development sectors, addressing the reduction in HS2 revenue and delays in other significant projects.
During the run-up to the General Election, we performed slightly ahead of plan in H1. However, planned accelerated revenue growth in HS2 was hindered by government inaction on critical infrastructure projects, challenging economic conditions, and reduced UK business confidence. As a result, many projects were delayed, paused, or descoped, affecting our short-term revenue realisation despite a strong and growing opportunity pipeline and success in the redeployment of resources.
Amid these challenges, we continued to endorse Temple Group’s support for environmental and community charities through donations and volunteering.
Volunteers from Temple Group undertook a broad range of activities including construction of a bridge for Whitchurch Conservation Group, Hampshire, helping at food banks in Bow, east London and Horsham and tree planting at Coronation Gardens, Battle as well as at Stanmer Organics, Brighton. We also got involved in gardening with Manchester Urban Diggers (MUD), at Edith Gardens, London, with Citizen Zoo and with Ecotherapy at Stanmer Park. Employees used their volunteer day to be part of the judging panel for the Green Flag Awards and to carry out surveys on behalf of the Ancient Tree Forum. Our teams have also continued to support The Southwood Foundation on several projects in Sussex.
Direct donations were made to a variety of registered charities, including Thousand 4 1000 (in memory of a colleague who died suddenly), Mental Health UK (in memory of a colleague’s son who took his own life), Spinal Muscular Atrophy, Football Beyond Borders, Rocking Horse (Brighton), Horsham Matters, Forgotten Women and the Wildlife Trusts. Our offices also held collections in support of Macmillan Cancer Research, Tourettes Action and Bow Food Bank.
Principal Risks and Uncertainties
As a Board, we take a regular oversight of the Temple Board who actively identify, monitor and mitigate the financial and operational risks and uncertainties that we are exposed to and these are reproduced from Temple Group’s Strategic Report below.
Financial Risk
Our financial risks primarily relate to the stability of the UK economy, inflation, liquidity, and credit risk.

Principal Risks and Uncertainties - continued
Large infrastructure projects and government contracts constitute a significant portion of our revenue, and variations can impact turnover and profits. Over recent years, we have worked to reduce this risk by diversifying our revenue across sectors and geographies. We also mitigate this risk by investing in diversification activities, partnering on larger programs to share risk, and supplementing our team with associates and sub-consultants.
In a highly competitive industry, we face challenges in winning new work at suitable margins. We address these risks through effective cost management, market differentiation, selective bidding, and thorough scrutiny of our bid and project delivery processes to ensure satisfactory margins.
We manage credit risk by conducting external credit checks on potential clients, setting defined credit limits, and ongoing monitoring and reporting. We maintain a strong focus on cash management, frequently reviewing Debtor and WIP days, and preparing monthly cash flow forecasts that consider seasonality, especially in ecology.
As part of a Group, we have and have access to, adequate and available cash resources to meet our financial requirements.
Operational Risk
Our principal operational risks are project delivery and contract risk, recruitment and retention of key staff, reputational risk, and cyber security.
We review and discuss these risks regularly. Through our business strategy and business model as well as our certified management system, ongoing IT and cyber security investments, and stakeholder relationships, we have effective approaches, systems, and processes to identify, mitigate, and manage these risks.
This year, we faced risks from the Government's inconsistency in infrastructure project commitments, with several strategic programs delayed or altered. However, we benefited from increased funding and opportunities in energy, water security, and climate resilience infrastructure. In the UK real estate market, despite some active urban areas, political, regulatory, and economic uncertainty has generally negatively pressured prices and growth.
Staff retention, recruitment, and resourcing challenges persist, with intense competition driving salary inflation for skilled individuals in environmental, planning, and sustainability disciplines. These issues are expected to remain both risks and opportunities for the foreseeable future.
Employees
Temple’s employees remain core to our success, driving our achievements with their passion, professionalism, commitment, and creativity. Facing challenging recruitment and retention periods in the environmental sector, we strive to attract, develop, and retain top talent.
Temple’s embedded learning and development programs support career growth and our company values. Our agile business model offers staff protection, responsibility, varied work opportunities, and close collaboration with clients and experienced associates and partners. And our graduate program helps young consultants gain diverse experience.
Temple has introduced further enhanced benefits with a focus this year on women’s health, offering paid time-off for fertility therapy, menopause, neonatal care, and pregnancy loss. Additionally, we've improved support for carers and parents with flexible working and carer's leave policies. We also increased employer pension contributions for financial security and maintained our commitment to the Living Wage.
Temple’s employee engagement program includes regular questionnaires, feedback sessions, briefings (T-time), an internal newsletter (Temple Talks), a monthly Health & Safety Bulletin, and our in-house magazine “Roll with it.”
We sincerely thank our staff at Temple Group and Temple Group Management for their continued commitment, professionalism, loyalty, hard work, and support in achieving our shared goals. 
Outlook
We believe the outlook for Temple Group as a UK-owned business remains challenging but positive with strong growth prospects in the medium term.
We remain committed to our belief that as a true and successful ethical and sustainable business we will continue to invest in our future business success alongside improved outcomes for our people, our clients and our planet.

Matters covered in the Strategic Report
Disclosures required under s416(4) of the Companies Act 2006 are commented upon in the Strategic Report as the director consider them to be of strategic importance to the business.
Statement of Director's Responsibilities
The director is responsible for preparing the Strategic Report, the Director's Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and regulations.
Company law requires the director to prepare financial statements for each financial year. Under that law the director has 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 director 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 the group and of the profit or loss of the group for that period. In preparing the financial statements the director is 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 director is responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that are sufficient to show and explain the company and group's transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the company and the group and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. He is also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the company and the group and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
The director is 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 Director's Report is approved:
  • so far as the director is aware, there is no relevant audit information of which the company and group'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 and group's auditors are aware of that information.
Independent Auditors
The auditors, Parkers, 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 Temple Group Management Limited (the "parent company") and its subsidiaries (the "group") for the year ended 31 March 2025 which comprise the Consolidated Profit and Loss Account, Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income, Consolidated Balance Sheet, Company Balance Sheet, Consolidated Statement of Changes of Equity, Company Statement of Changes of Equity, Consolidated Cash Flow Statement, Company 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 group's and of the parent company's affairs as at 31 March 2025 and of the group's 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 group and parent 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 director's use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate.
Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the group and parent company'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 director is 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 Director's Report for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements; and
  • the Strategic Report and Director's Report have been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements.
Matters on Which We Are Required to Report by Exception
In the light of the knowledge and understanding of the group and parent company and their environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the Strategic Report or the Director's Report.
We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the Companies Act 2006 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion:
  • adequate accounting records have not been kept by the parent company, or returns adequate for our audit have not been received from branches not visited by us; or
  • the parent company financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records or returns; or
  • certain disclosures of director's remuneration specified by law are not made; or
  • we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit.

Responsibilities of Directors
As explained more fully in the Director's Responsibilities Statement set out on page 3, the director is responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as the director 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 director is responsible for assessing the group and parent 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 group or the parent 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: 
Based on our understanding of the company and industry, we identified that the principal risks of non-compliance with laws and regulations related to UK pensions legislation and UK tax legislation, as well as UK Health & Safety legislation and we considered the extent to which non-compliance might have a material effect on the financial statements. We also considered those laws and regulations that have a direct impact on the preparation of the financial statements such as the Companies Act 2006. We evaluated management's incentives and opportunities for fraudulent manipulation of the financial statements (including the risk of override of controls) and determined that the principal risks were related to revenue recognition where there may be incentive for manipulation of profits. Audit procedures performed by the engagement team included:
- Discussions with management, including consideration of known or suspected instances of non-compliance with laws and regulation and fraud;
- Challenging assumptions and judgements made by management in their significant accounting estimates; and
- Identifying and testing journal entries, in particular any journal entries posted with unusual account combinations including journal entries which inflated the Company's results for the period with unusual offset entries and journal entries impacting revenue recognition.
There are inherent limitations in the audit procedures described above and the further removed non-compliance with laws and regulations is from the events and transactions reflected in the financial statements, the less likely we would 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 intentional 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. Accounting Policies
1.1. 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.
1.2. Basis Of Consolidation
The group consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of the company and all of its subsidiary undertakings together with the group’s share of the results of associates made up to 31 March 2025.
A subsidiary is an entity controlled by the group. Control is the power to govern the financial and operating policies of an entity so as to obtain benefits from its activities. Where the group owns less than 50% of the voting powers of an entity but controls the entity by virtue of an agreement with other investors which give it control of the financial and operating policies of the entity, it accounts for that entity as a subsidiary.
Where a subsidiary has different accounting policies to the group, adjustments are made to those subsidiary financial statements to apply the group’s accounting policies when preparing the consolidated financial statements.
An associate is an entity, being neither a subsidiary nor a joint venture, in which the group holds a long-term interest and where the group has significant influence. The group considers that it has significant influence where it has the power to participate in the financial and operating decisions of the associate. The results of associates are accounted for using the equity method of accounting.
Any subsidiary undertakings or associates sold or acquired during the year are included up to, or from, the dates of change of control or change of significant influence respectively.
Where control of a subsidiary is lost, the gain or loss is recognised in the consolidated income statement. The cumulative amounts of any exchange differences on translation, recognised in equity, are not included in the gain or loss on disposal and are transferred to retained earnings. The gain or loss also includes amounts included in other comprehensive income that are required to be reclassified to profit or loss but excludes those amounts that are not required to be reclassified.
Where control of a subsidiary is achieved in stages, the initial acquisition that gave the group control is accounted for as a business combination. Thereafter where the group increases its controlling interest in the subsidiary the transaction is treated as a transaction between equity holders. Any difference between the fair value of the consideration paid and the carrying amount of the non-controlling interest acquired is recognised directly in equity. No changes are made to the carrying value of assets, liabilities or provisions for contingent liabilities.
1.3. Financial Reporting Standard 102 - Reduced Disclosure Exemptions
The parent company has taken advantage of the following disclosure exemptions in preparing these financial statements, as permitted by FRS 102 "The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland":
1.4. Significant judgements and estimations
No significant judgements have had to be made by the directors in preparing these financial statements.
1.5. Turnover
Turnover represents net invoiced sales of services, excluding value added tax.
Where the services are supplied under long-term contracts, turnover represents the value of work done in the year, including amounts not invoiced and is recognised by reference to stage of completion.
1.6. Intangible Fixed Assets and Amortisation - Goodwill
Goodwill arising on the acquisition of subsidiaries is included in Intangible Assets.
Goodwill is amortised over its expected useful life.
Goodwill is assessed for impairment when there are indicators of impairment and any impairment is charged to the profit and loss account. No reversals of impairment are recognised.
1.7. Intangible Fixed Assets and Amortisation - Other Intangible
Other intangible assets are initially measured at cost. After initial recognition, intangible assets are measured at cost less any accumulated amortisation and any accumulated impairment losses. 
Page 14
Page 15
1.8. 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 3-5 years straight line
Motor Vehicles 5 years straight line
Fixtures & Fittings 5 years straight line
Computer Equipment 3 years straight line
1.9. Investment Properties
All investment properties are carried at fair value determined annually and derived from the current market rents and investment property yields for comparable real estate, adjusted if necessary for any difference in the nature, location or condition of the specific asset. No depreciation is provided for. Changes in fair value are recognised in the profit and loss account.
1.10. Leasing and Hire Purchase Contracts
Assets obtained under finance leases are capitalised as tangible fixed assets. Assets acquired under finance leases are depreciated over the shorter of the lease term and their useful lives. Assets acquired under hire purchase contracts are depreciated over their useful lives. Finance leases are those where substantially all of the benefits and risks of ownership are assumed by the group. Obligations under such agreements are included in the creditors net of the finance charge allocated to future periods. The finance element of the rental payment is charged to the profit and loss account so as to produce a constant periodic rate of charge on the net obligation outstanding in each period.
Rentals applicable to operating leases where substantially all of the benefits and risks of ownership remain with the lessor are charged to the profit and loss account as incurred.
1.11. Financial Instruments
The company only enters into basic financial instrument transactions that result in the recognition offinancial assets and liabilities like trade and other accounts receivable and payable, loans from banks andother third parties, loans to and from related parties and investments in non-puttable ordinary shares.
Financial assets that are measured at cost and amortised cost are assessed at the end of each reportingperiod for objective evidence of impairment. If objective evidence of impairment is found, an impairmentloss is recognised in profit or loss.
1.12. 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 group'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.
1.13. Pensions
The group operates a defined pension contribution scheme. Contributions are charged to the profit and loss account as they become payable in accordance with the rules of the scheme.
1.14. Impairment of non-financial assets
At each reporting date non-financial assets not carried at fair value, like goodwill and plant, property and equipment, are reviewed to determine whether there is an indication that any asset may be impaired. If there is an indication of possible impairment, the recoverable amount of any asset or group of related assets, which is the higher of value in use and the fair value less cost to sell, is estimated and compared with its carrying amount. If the recoverable amount is lower, the carrying amount of the asset is reduced to its recoverable amount and an impairment loss is recognised immediately in profit or loss.

10. Prior Period Adjustment
During the year, the Temple Group Limited reviewed its accounting treatment for holiday pay and identified that holiday pay earned by employees but not taken at the year end had not previously been accrued.
A prior year adjustment has been made to recognise the accrued holiday pay at the previous balance sheet date. The adjustment resulted in:
  • an increase in accruals and other creditors, and
  • a corresponding decrease in retained earnings as at the beginning of the comparative period.
During the year, Temple Group Management Limited identified that a corporation tax liability relating to the year ended 31 March 2023, which remained outstanding at 31 March 2024, had been incorrectly recognised as deferred tax. This resulted in a deferred tax credit being recognised in the profit and loss account for the year ended 31 March 2024.
A prior year adjustment has been made to correctly present this as at the previous balance sheet date. The adjustment resulted in:
  • an increase in creditors, and
  • a corresponding decrease in retained earnings. 
The comparative figures have been adjusted accordingly.
