STRATEGIC REPORT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024

Principal activities
 
The principal activity of the Company during the year continued to be the operation of a waste transfer station, together with the operation of the Group’s transport hub. These functions support the wider Group’s waste management and recycling operations.

Business review
 
The financial results for the year are set out in the accompanying financial statements.
During the year, the Company experienced a 21.9% reduction in income, reflecting lower market activity and reduced material throughput. To mitigate this decline, the Company achieved a 37.9% reduction in cost of sales, driven by operational efficiencies and improved cost management. As a result, the Company’s gross profit margin increased by 15 percentage points, demonstrating a strengthened underlying trading performance despite lower revenues.
A reorganisation undertaken towards the end of the financial year resulted in an increase in certain overheads. These changes are expected to support operational effectiveness and efficiency going forward.

Principal risks and uncertainties
 
Compliance with regulation, legal, health and safety and ethical standards are paramount for the company. The group have a dedicated compliance team to ensure that the company is fully compliant with all legislation.
 
Selling price of oil is connected to yield and quality which mean that there is always the uncertainty around the revenue to be received, however the company has an experienced team in place to try and mitigate this risk as much as possible.
Pricing and availability of feedstock material is also a principal risk, the group has a confident commercial team in place to ensure that there is a constant stream of commercially viable material. 

Financial key performance indicators
 
The Company’s financial key performance indicators for the year ended 31 December 2024, compare to the year ended 31 December 2023, are shown below.
    2024   2023   Change
Gross Profit    £3,714,792  £3,047,084  £667,708
Gross Profit Margin        41.7%          26.7%         15%
EBITDA      £497,624     £298,743  £198,881
The improvement in gross profitability reflects operational efficiencies and cost reductions achieved during the year, despite lower revenues.

Future developments
 
The business will continue to look at how to further diversify over the coming years, and the directors are committed to additional growth through the development of business relationships with existing and new customers.

 In preparing these financial statements, the directors are required to:


select suitable accounting policies for the Company's financial statements and then apply them consistently;

make judgments and accounting estimates that are reasonable and prudent;

state whether applicable UK Accounting Standards 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.

DIRECTORS' REPORT (CONTINUED)
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024

Going concern

At 31 December 2024 the Company had net current liabilities of £3,921,811 (2023: net current assets £491,187) and net liabilities of £1,061,393 (2023: £789,037). It is dependent upon the funds provided by its parent company, GVO B-1 Limited. GVO B-1 Limited has provided the Company with a letter of support confirming that they will not recall the amounts due in the next 12 months and will continue to make available such funds as are needed by the Company to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future for meeting its liabilities as they fall due for payment. 
Having reviewed the Company's current position and cash flow projections for the next twelve months and beyond, the directors have a reasonable expectation that the company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future and to be profitable. Accordingly, the going concern basis has been adopted in preparing the financial statements.  

Disclosure of information to auditors

Each of the persons who are directors at the time when this Directors' Report is approved has confirmed that:
 
so far as the director is aware, there is no relevant audit information of which the Company's auditors are unaware, and

the director has taken all the steps that ought to have been taken as a director in order to be aware of any relevant audit information and to establish that the Company's auditors are aware of that information.

Auditors

The auditorsRyecroft Glentonwill be proposed for reappointment in accordance with section 485 of the Companies Act 2006.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF CHANGING WASTE LTD
 

Opinion


We have audited the financial statements of Changing Waste Ltd (the 'Company') for the year ended 31 December 2024, which comprise the Statement of Comprehensive Income, the Balance Sheet, the Statement of Changes in Equity and the related notes, including a summary of significant accounting policiesThe financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards, including Financial Reporting Standard 102 ‘The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland' (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).


In our opinion the financial statements:


give a true and fair view of the state of the Company's affairs as at 31 December 2024 and of its 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 Auditors' responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the Company in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the United Kingdom, including the Financial Reporting Council's Ethical Standard and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.


Conclusions relating to going concern


In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the directors' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate.


Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the Company's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.

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.

we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit.


Responsibilities of directors

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF CHANGING WASTE LTD (CONTINUED)


Auditors' responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements
 

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an Auditors' Report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.


The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud
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:

Our approach to identifying and assessing the risks of material misstatement in respect of irregularities, including fraud and non-compliance with laws and regulations, was as follows:
• the Responsible Individual ensured that the engagement team collectively had the appropriate     competence, capabilities and skills to identify or recognise non-compliance with applicable laws and    regulations;
• we identified the laws and regulations applicable to the Company through discussions with directors and   other management, and from our commercial knowledge and experience of the haulage and waste to    energy  sectors;
• we focused on specific laws and regulations which we considered may have a direct material effect on    the financial statements or the operations of the Company, including the Companies Act 2006, taxation   legislation, employment legislation, environment legislation such as environmental permits, and health    and safety legislation such as CHAS accreditations;
• we assessed the extent of compliance with the laws and regulations identified above through making    enquiries of management and inspecting legal correspondence where available; and
• we ensured that the identified laws and regulations were communicated within the audit team regularly    and the team remained alert to instances of non-compliance throughout the audit.
We assessed the susceptibility of the Company’s financial statements to material misstatement, including obtaining an understanding of how fraud might occur, by:
• making enquiries of management as to where they considered there was susceptibility to fraud and their   knowledge of actual, suspected and alleged fraud;
• carrying out walkthrough testing and documenting the relevant controls in place; and
• considering the internal controls in place to mitigate risks of fraud and non-compliance with laws and    regulations. 
To address the risk of fraud through management bias and override of controls, we:
• performed analytical procedures to identify any unusual or unexpected relationships;
• tested journal entries to identify unusual transactions; 
• considered the control environment and raised recommendations on areas of weakness as appropriate;   and
• assessed whether judgements and assumptions made in determining the accounting estimates were    indicative of potential bias.
In response to the risk of irregularities and non-compliance with laws and regulations, we designed procedures which included, but were not limited to:
• agreeing financial statement disclosures to underlying supporting documentation;
• enquiring of management as to actual and potential litigation and claims;
• discussing laws and regulations with legal team and those responsible for monitoring compliance and    issues;

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF CHANGING WASTE LTD (CONTINUED)


• reviewing government websites, such as the Environmental Agency to assess whether there have been   any breaches; and
• reviewing correspondence with HMRC, and the Company’s legal advisors where appropriate, along with   discussing laws and regulations with those who are responsible for compliance.
There are inherent limitations in our audit procedures described above. The more removed that laws and regulations are from financial transactions, the less likely it is that we would become aware of non-compliance. Auditing standards also limit the audit procedures required to identify non-compliance with laws and regulations to enquiry of the directors and other management and the inspection of regulatory and legal correspondence, if any.
Material misstatements that arise due to fraud can be harder to detect than those that arise from error as they may involve deliberate concealment or collusion.


A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the Financial Reporting Council's website at: www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our Auditors' Report.


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 2006Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the Company's members those matters we are required to state to them in an Auditors' Report and for no other purpose.

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

1.


General information

Changing Waste Ltd is a private company limited by shares, incorporated in England and Wales (no. 10470933). The registered office address is Control Tower, Hemswell Cliff Industrial Estate, Hemswell Cliff, Gainsborough, England, DN21 5TU. 
The principal activity of the Company is the collection of non-hazardous waste. 

2.Accounting policies

 
2.1

Basis of preparation of financial statements

The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention unless otherwise specified within these accounting policies and in accordance with Financial Reporting Standard 102, the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and the Republic of Ireland and the Companies Act 2006.

The preparation of financial statements in compliance with FRS 102 requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise judgment in applying the Company's accounting policies (see note 3).

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 following principal accounting policies have been applied:

  
2.2

Financial Reporting Standard 102 - reduced disclosure exemptions

The Company has taken advantage of the following disclosure exemptions in preparing these
financial statements, as permitted by the FRS 102 "The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in
the UK and Republic of Ireland":
-   the requirements of Section 7 Statement of Cash Flows;
-   the requirements of Section 3 Financial Statement Presentation paragraph 3.17(d);
-   the requirements of Section 33 Related Party Disclosures paragraph 33.7.
This information is included in the consolidated financial statements of GVO B-1 Limited as at
31 December 2024 and these financial statements may be obtained from Companies House, Cardiff.

 
2.3

Going concern

At 31 December 2024 the Company had net current liabilities of £3,921,811 (2023: net current assets £491,187) and net liabilities of £1,061,393 (2023: £789,037). It is dependent upon the funds provided by its parent company, GVO B-1 Limited. GVO B-1 Limited has provided the Company with a letter of support confirming that they will not recall the amounts due in the next 12 months and will continue to make available such funds as are needed by the Company to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future for meeting its liabilities as they fall due for payment. 
Having reviewed the Company's current position and cash flow projections for the next twelve months and beyond, the directors have a reasonable expectation that the company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future and to be profitable. Accordingly, the going concern basis has been adopted in preparing the financial statements.

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

2.Accounting policies (continued)

 
2.4

Revenue

Revenue is recognised at the point of delivery of waste to customers when the risk and reward of ownership has been transferred. Revenue is measured as the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, excluding discounts, rebates, value added tax and other sales taxes.
Revenue from a contract to provide services is recognised in the period in which the services are provided.
Revenue from the receipt of waste services is recognised on the date that food waste is received. 

 
2.5

Operating leases: the Company as lessee

Rentals paid under operating leases are charged to profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

Benefits received and receivable as an incentive to sign an operating lease are recognised on a straight-line basis over the lease term, unless another systematic basis is representative of the time pattern of the lessee's benefit from the use of the leased asset.

  
2.6

Hire Purchase

Assets obtained under hire purchase contracts are capitalised as tangible fixed assets. Assets acquired by hire purchase are depreciated over their useful lives. Obligations under such agreements are included in creditors net of the finance charge allocated to future periods. The finance element of the rental payment is charged to the Statement of comprehensive income so as to produce a constant periodic rate of charge on the net obligation outstanding in each period.

 
2.7

Finance costs

Finance costs are charged to profit or loss over the term of the debt using the effective interest method so that the amount charged is at a constant rate on the carrying amount. 

 
2.8

Pensions

Defined contribution pension plan

The Company operates a defined contribution plan for its employees. A defined contribution plan is a pension plan under which the Company pays fixed contributions into a separate entity. Once the contributions have been paid the Company has no further payment obligations.

The contributions are recognised as an expense in profit or loss when they fall due. Amounts not paid are shown in accruals as a liability in the Balance Sheet. The assets of the plan are held separately from the Company in independently administered funds.

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

2.Accounting policies (continued)

 
2.9

Current and deferred taxation

The tax expense for the year comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is recognised in profit or loss except that a charge attributable to an item of income and expense recognised as other comprehensive income or to an item recognised directly in equity is also recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity respectively.

The current income tax charge is calculated on the basis of tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date in the countries where the Company operates and generates income.

Deferred tax balances are recognised in respect of all timing differences that have originated but not reversed by the balance sheet date, except that:
The recognition of deferred tax assets is limited to the extent that it is probable that they will be recovered against the reversal of deferred tax liabilities or other future taxable profits; and
Any deferred tax balances are reversed if and when all conditions for retaining associated tax allowances have been met.

Deferred tax balances are not recognised in respect of permanent differences except in respect of business combinations, when deferred tax is recognised on the differences between the fair values of assets acquired and the future tax deductions available for them and the differences between the fair values of liabilities acquired and the amount that will be assessed for tax. Deferred tax is determined using tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date.


 
2.10

Intangible assets

Goodwill
Goodwill represents the difference between amounts paid on the cost of a business combination and the acquirer’s interest in the fair value of its identifiable assets and liabilities of the acquiree at the date of acquisition. Subsequent to initial recognition, goodwill is measured at cost less accumulated amortisation and accumulated impairment losses. Goodwill is amortised on a straight line basis to the Statement of Income and Retained Earnings over its useful economic life, which is considered to be 10 years.
All intangible assets are considered to have a finite useful life. If a reliable estimate of the useful life cannot be made, the useful life shall not exceed ten years.

 
2.11

Tangible fixed assets

Tangible fixed assets under the cost model are stated at historical cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses. Historical cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to bringing the asset to the location and condition necessary for it to be capable of operating in the manner intended by management.

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

2.Accounting policies (continued)


2.11
Tangible fixed assets (continued)

Land is not depreciated. Depreciation on other assets is charged so as to allocate the cost of assets less their residual value over their estimated useful lives, using the straight-line method.

The estimated useful lives range as follows:

Freehold property
-
10 years on a straight line basis
Plant and machinery
-
3 - 10 years on a straight line basis
Motor vehicles
-
3 - 10 years on a straight line basis
Fixtures and fittings
-
3 - 10 years on a straight line basis
Capital works in progress
-
nil until complete

The assets' residual values, useful lives and depreciation methods are reviewed, and adjusted prospectively if appropriate, or if there is an indication of a significant change since the last reporting date.

Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing the proceeds with the carrying amount and are recognised in profit or loss.

Included in Freehold property is land at a value of £997,046 which is not depreciated.

 
2.12

Stocks

Stocks are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value, being the estimated selling price less costs to complete and sell. Cost is based on the cost of purchase on a weighted average basis. Work in progress and finished goods include labour and attributable overheads.

At each balance sheet date, stocks are assessed for impairment. If stock is impaired, the carrying amount is reduced to its selling price less costs to complete and sell. The impairment loss is recognised immediately in profit or loss.

 
2.13

Debtors

Short-term debtors are measured at transaction price, less any impairment. Loans receivable are measured initially at fair value, net of transaction costs, and are measured subsequently at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less any impairment.

 
2.14

Cash and cash equivalents

Cash is represented by cash in hand and deposits with financial institutions repayable without penalty on notice of not more than 24 hours. Cash equivalents are highly liquid investments that mature in no more than three months from the date of acquisition and that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash with insignificant risk of change in value.

 
2.15

Creditors

Short-term creditors are measured at the transaction price. Other financial liabilities, including bank loans, are measured initially at fair value, net of transaction costs, and are measured subsequently at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

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

2.Accounting policies (continued)

 
2.16

Financial instruments

The Company has elected to apply the provisions of Section 11 “Basic Financial Instruments” 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 liabilities

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 the deduction of all its liabilities.

Basic financial liabilities, which include trade and other creditors, bank loans and other loans are initially measured at their transaction price (adjusting for transaction costs except in the initial measurement of financial liabilities that are subsequently measured at fair value through profit and loss). When this constitutes a financing transaction, whereby the debt instrument is measured at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest, discounting is omitted where the effect of discounting is immaterial.

Debt instruments are subsequently carried at their amortised cost using the effective interest rate method.

Trade creditors are obligations to pay for goods and services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of business from suppliers. Trade creditors are classified as current liabilities if the payment is due within one year. If not, they represent non-current liabilities. Trade creditors are initially recognised at their transaction price and subsequently are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Discounting is omitted where the effect of discounting is immaterial.


3.


Judgments in applying accounting policies and key sources of estimation uncertainty

The estimates and judgements that have a significant risk of causing material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the financial period are as follows:
Depreciation
Tangible fixed assets are depreciated over their useful lives taking into account residual values. The actual lives of the assets and residual values are assessed annually and may vary. Residual values consider matters such as future market conditions, the remaining estimated life of the asset and the discount required to apply cash flows on estimated disposal values to calculate their net present values.
