Strategic Report for the Year Ended 31 March 2025

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

Principal activity

The principal activity of the company is carpentry and joinery services for new build constructions, and the introduction of fire door inspections/maintenance.

Fair review of the business

The business had a successful 2024/25 with results exceeding prior year, indicating stability in the face of increased costs and market conditions. These results have exceeded our expectations during a period of domestic and global instabilities, effects of which continue to pose risk to the global economy. The staff have risen to the challenges faced by our organisation, and we thank them for their continued efforts and hard work.

Our strategy has been continued improvement of control measures, reduced costs wastage and to further promote fire door safety services introduced in 2023. We continue to invest in our staff through training to achieve qualifications relevant to the future of our organisation. By encouraging staff CPD, these measures have had a positive impact on our business and the services that we provide.

A review of the environmental impact of our business operations was carried out during the financial year resulting in the introduction of an environmental management plan and supply chain questionnaire. Our aim is to ascertain supplier understanding and adherence and promote awareness in order to sustainably reduce organisational impact.

We look to 2025/26 with cautious optimism as the future of the UK economy remains susceptible to the global effects of political factors and ongoing wars and instabilities of other countries. Directors use management information to continue to manage the business direction and make timely decisions to keep the business on track.

Principal risks and uncertainties

The management of the business and the execution of the company’s strategy are subject to several risks. The key business risks and uncertainties affecting our organisation are relative to market conditions, impacted by economic domestic and global factors. The result of such conditions poses a risk to the pricing of long-term projects competitively whilst considering uncertain fluctuations in future costs and expenses.

Another risk, which is inherent to the construction industry is health and safety. Health and safety remains a crucial focus for the directors. Policies and procedures are reviewed regularly, and operatives kept up to date with any changes.

Key performance indicators
The directors continue to focus on measuring and improving service performance, particularly through the usage of resources and labour productivity. We are fortunate to have a skilled and co-operative workforce, and we continue to invest in training and wellbeing.

The directors’ forecast for the coming year is optimistic, projecting period ups and downs while achieving overall annual stability within the industry. The result of which is expected to generate a slight increase in turnover while operating profit is expected to remain static.

The company continues to hold a strong balance sheet as the net assets of the company were £4.9 million as at the end of FY2025, which is a reduction from £7.9 million as at the end of FY2024. This is due in part to dividends totalling £5.6 million being paid to the parent company, P.G.M. Carpentry Holdings Limited.

Financial risk management objectives and policies

Credit Risk and Cash flow risk
Trade debtors are managed in respect of credit and cash flow risk policies concerning the credit offered to customers and the regular monitoring of amounts outstanding for both time and credit limits.

Liquidity risk
Liquidity is maintained mainly through the company's continuing significant profitability. Therefore, sufficient funds for ongoing operations and future developments are ensured through retained profits.

Market risk
The directors review the market risk applicable to the company on an ongoing basis by considering the likelihood of market developments and consequent effect on profitability, net assets and liquidity.

Statement of Directors' Responsibilities

The directors acknowledge their responsibilities 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 apply them consistently;

make judgements and accounting estimates that are reasonable and prudent;

state whether applicable United Kingdom Accounting Standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; 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.

Independent Auditor's Report to the Members of P.G.M. Carpentry Contractors Limited

Opinion

We have audited the financial statements of P.G.M. Carpentry Contractors Limited (the 'company') for the year ended 31 March 2025, which comprise the Profit and Loss Account, Statement of Comprehensive Income, Balance Sheet, Statement of Changes in Equity, and Notes to the Financial Statements, 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, 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 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 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 company's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the original financial statements were 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 directors are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the annual report, other than the financial statements and our auditor’s report thereon. 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 there is a material misstatement in the financial statements or a material misstatement of the other information. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact.

We have nothing to report in this regard.

Opinion on other matter 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.

 

P.G.M. Carpentry Contractors Limited

Independent Auditor's Report to the Members of P.G.M. Carpentry Contractors Limited

Matters on which we are required to report by exception

In the light of our 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 and the Directors' Report.

We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters where the Companies Act 2006 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion:

adequate accounting records have not been kept, or returns adequate for our audit have not been received from branches not visited by us; or

the financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns; or

certain disclosures of directors' remuneration specified by law are not made; or

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

Responsibilities of directors

As explained more fully in the Statement of Directors' Responsibilities set out on page 5, the directors are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the financial statements, the directors are responsible for assessing the company's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the directors either intend to liquidate the company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.

Auditor 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:

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:

- the engagement partner 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 the Directors and from our knowledge and experience of the sector within which the company operates;

- 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 taxation legislation, employment laws, building regulations and health and safety legislation;

- we assessed the extent of compliance with the laws and regulations identified above through making enquiries of management and inspecting legal correspondence; and

- identified laws and regulations were communicated within the audit team regularly and the team remained alert to instances of non-compliance throughout the audit.

 

P.G.M. Carpentry Contractors Limited

Independent Auditor's Report to the Members of P.G.M. Carpentry Contractors Limited

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, their knowledge of actual, suspected and alleged fraud; 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;

- assessed whether judgements and assumptions made in determining the accounting estimates were indicative of potential bias; and

- investigated the rationale behind significant or unusual transactions.

A further description of our responsibilities is available on the Financial Reporting Council’s website at: 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 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 for the Year Ended 31 March 2025

Revenue recognition

Turnover comprises the fair value of the consideration received or receivable for the provision of carpentry and joinery services for new build constructions together with fire door installation and maintenance in the ordinary course of the company’s activities. Turnover is shown net of value added tax and discounts.

The company recognises revenue when:
- the amount of revenue can be reliably measured;
- it is probable that future economic benefits will flow to the entity;
- and specific criteria have been met for each of the company's activities.

Contract revenue recognition

Long term contracts are assessed on a contract by contract basis and reflected in the statement of comprehensive income by recording revenue and related costs as contract activity progresses in order to reflect an accurate gross profit margin attributable to specific projects and this is assessed by management. Revenue is ascertained in a manner appropriate to the stages of completion of the contract and measured by reference to the value of work done in comparison to the total contract value. Credit is taken for profit earned to date when the outcome of the contract can be assessed with reasonable certainty. The amount by which the turnover exceeds payments on account is classified as "amounts recoverable on contracts" and is included within debtors; to the extent that payments on account exceed relevant turnover on long term contract balances, the excess is included as a creditor. Where it is probable that total contract costs will exceed total contract revenue, the expected loss is recognised as an expense as soon as it is foreseen.

Government grants

Government grants are recognised using the accrual model and are shown within other operating income.

Tax

Current Tax is recognised in the profit and loss account, except that a change attributable to an item of income or expense recognised as other comprehensive income is also recognised directly in other comprehensive income.

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

Deferred tax is recognised on temporary material differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the financial statements and on unused tax losses or tax credits in the company. Deferred tax is determined using tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date.

Accounting estimates and assumptions


Fair value of financial assets and liabilities
Where the fair value of financial assets and liabilities cannot be derived from active markets, they are determined using a variety of valuation techniques. The input to these models is derived from observable markets where available, a degree of judgement is required in determining assumptions used when calculating the fair value.

Provisions for impairment
In determining impairment of financial assets, judgement is required in the estimation of the amount and timing of future cash flows.

Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 March 2025

Key sources of estimation uncertainty

The preparation of the company's financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and accompanying disclosures. Uncertainty about these assumptions and estimates could result in outcomes that require a material adjustment to the carrying amount of an asset or liability affected in future periods.

Trade debtors - management applies judgement in evaluating the recoverability of debtors. To the extent that the directors believe debtors not to be recoverable, they have been provided for in the financial statements.

Fixed assets - management determine whether there are indicators of impairment of the company's tangible assets. Factors taken into consideration in reaching a decision include the economic viability and expected future financial performance of an asset.

Tangible assets

Tangible assets are stated in the statement of financial position at cost, less any subsequent accumulated depreciation.

Depreciation

Depreciation is charged so as to write off the cost of assets over their estimated useful lives, as follows:

Asset class

Depreciation method and rate

Plant and equipment

20% reducing balance method

Fixtures and fittings

33% straight line method

Computer equipment

33% straight line method

Motor vehicles

25% reducing balance method

Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash on hand and call deposits.

Trade debtors

Trade debtors are amounts due from customers for the provision of carpentry and joinery services for new build constructions together with fire door installation and maintenance in the ordinary course of business.

Retentions
Retentions on long term contracts are recognised within other debtors. Retentions on work completed have been recognised within turnover.

Trade creditors

Trade creditors are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of business from suppliers. Trade creditors are classified as current liabilities if the company does not have an unconditional right, at the end of the reporting period, to defer settlement of the creditor for at least twelve months after the reporting date. If there is an unconditional right to defer settlement for at least twelve months after the reporting date, they are presented as non-current liabilities.

Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 March 2025

Leases

Leases in which substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership are retained by the lessor are classified as operating leases. Payments made under operating leases are charged to the profit and loss account on a straight-line basis over the period of the lease.

Leases are classified as finance leases whenever the terms of the lease transfer substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership to the lessee.

Assets held under finance leases are recognised at their fair value at inception of the lease. These assets are depreciated on a reducing balance basis over the useful life of the asset. The corresponding liability to the lessor is included in the Balance Sheet as a finance lease obligation.

Lease payments are apportioned between finance costs in the Profit and Loss Account and reduction of the lease obligation so as to achieve a constant periodic rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability.

Share capital

Ordinary shares are classified as equity.

Dividends

Dividend distribution to the company’s shareholders is recognised as a liability in the financial statements in the reporting period in which the dividends are declared.

Defined contribution pension obligation

A defined contribution plan is a pension plan under which fixed contributions are paid into a pension fund and the company has no legal or constructive obligation to pay further contributions even if the fund does not hold sufficient assets to pay all employees the benefits relating to employee service in the current and prior periods.

Contributions to defined contribution plans are recognised as employee benefit expense when they are due. If contribution payments exceed the contribution due for service, the excess is recognised as a prepayment.

Financial instruments


Classification
The company only has financial instruments defined as basic and accounts for them at either amortised cost or cost less impairment.
