GROUP STRATEGIC REPORT |
for the year ended 31 August 2025 |
REVIEW OF BUSINESS |
The director is pleased to report another strong year of trading for the group for the year ended 31 August 2025, with continued growth in turnover, profitability and shareholders' funds despite ongoing economic and sector-wide challenges. |
During the year, each of the key trading divisions made a positive contribution to the growth and success of the business. Our property services division continued to work in collaboration with local authorities and housing associations to deliver solutions aligned with our clients' long-term goals. |
With recent investment in new plant and machinery, resulting in a strengthened in-house capability, our mechanical and electrical division continued to make a positive contribution to the group's growth catering to the fast-growing demand for its site temporary services. |
Our Waterproofing division continued to work closely with its core clients providing comprehensive roofing and waterproofing services. The division continued to make a positive contribution to the business with its effective project management and cost control. The division delivered complex projects within budget and increased margins, helping to offset the impact of rising material and labour costs. |
Turnover for the year increased to £42.1 million from £38.2 million in the prior year, representing a growth of 10.5%. The increase reflects continued demand for the group's services helped by the successful delivery of a number of significant projects during the year. |
Gross profit increased to £4.78 million compared with £4.05 million in the previous year. Gross profit margin improved from 10.6% in 2024 to 11.3% in 2025, reflecting improved operational efficiency, effective contract management and stronger project performance across a number of contracts. The director considers the improvement in margin performance to be particularly encouraging given the ongoing inflationary pressures affecting labour, subcontractor and material costs within the industry. |
Operating profit increased to £1.36 million from £1.22 million in the prior year, while profit before taxation increased to £1.51million (2024: £1.30 million). Pre-tax profit margin improved from 3.3% in 2024 to 3.6% in 2025, demonstrating the resilience of the business and the group's disciplined approach to overhead management and operational control despite continued cost inflation and market uncertainty. |
Administrative expenses increased modestly during the year to £3.67 million (2024: £3.48 million), reflecting ongoing investment in infrastructure, compliance, systems and operational support functions required to sustain the group's growth and project delivery capabilities. The director continued to maintain careful control over overhead expenditure while ensuring the business remained appropriately resourced to support future activity levels. |
The group continued to maintain a strong balance sheet position with net assets increasing to £7.95 million from £7.14 million in the prior year. Retained earnings increased to £7.04 million following the retention of profits generated during the year. |
The director continued to focus closely on working capital management throughout the year. Net current assets improved to £5.04 million compared with £4.73 million in the prior year, despite the increased scale of operations and continued investment in project delivery. Current liabilities reduced from £9.70 million to £8.22 million during the year, reflecting improved creditor management. |
Trade debtor balances increased in line with turnover growth and project activity levels, however management continued to maintain close oversight of collections and customer credit exposure. Cash balances at the year-end were £1.43 million (2024: £2.75 million). The reduction in cash reserves principally reflected increased investment in plant and machinery together with working capital movements associated with higher trading activity and dividend payments made during the year. Notwithstanding this reduction, the director remain satisfied with the group's liquidity position, available banking facilities and overall financial resilience. |

GROUP STRATEGIC REPORT |
for the year ended 31 August 2025 |
REVIEW OF BUSINESS CONTINUED |
The group continued to invest in capital expenditure during the year, primarily in plant and machinery, in order to support operational efficiency, project delivery capability and future growth requirements, particularly to meet the growing demand for its site temporary services. |
The director remain encouraged by the group's performance and its ability to continue generating profitable growth despite ongoing economic uncertainty, labour market pressures and inflationary cost challenges affecting the wider construction industry. The business continues to maintain a healthy pipeline of opportunities and remains focused on sustainable long-term growth, operational excellence and maintaining strong client relationships. |

GROUP STRATEGIC REPORT |
for the year ended 31 August 2025 |
PRINCIPAL RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES |
The board recognises that effective risk management is essential to the long-term success and sustainability of the business. The group operates within the construction sector, which is influenced by economic conditions, project delivery performance, labour availability and regulatory requirements. The director continually reviews the key operational and financial risks facing the business and implement measures designed to mitigate exposure where possible. |
Economic and Market Conditions |
The construction sector continues to experience uncertainty arising from inflationary pressures, interest rate movements, supply chain disruption and fluctuations in client investment levels. These conditions may impact project margins, customer confidence and the timing of contract awards. |
To mitigate these risks, the group maintains a diversified client base across a range of sectors and continues to focus on securing repeat business through long-standing customer relationships and quality project delivery. The director closely monitors market conditions, tender pipelines and operational performance to ensure the business remains responsive to changes in demand. |
Contract Delivery and Operational Performance |
The successful delivery of projects within agreed timescales and budgets is critical to the group's performance. Delays, cost overruns, subcontractor performance issues or unforeseen site conditions could adversely affect profitability and reputation. |
The group mitigates these risks through experienced project management teams, detailed pre-contract assessments, regular project reviews and ongoing monitoring of project costs and programme performance. Contractual risks are reviewed carefully prior to acceptance, and operational management maintains regular communication with clients and subcontractors throughout project delivery. |
Inflation and Cost Pressures |
The group remains exposed to increases in labour, subcontractor, fuel, plant and material costs, which may impact project profitability where costs cannot be recovered through contractual arrangements. Management continually reviews procurement practices, supplier relationships and contract pricing mechanisms to minimise exposure to inflationary pressures. The business also seeks to negotiate appropriate commercial terms and maintain flexibility within its operational cost base. |
Labour Availability and Retention |
The business relies on the availability of skilled employees, subcontractors and specialist labour within a competitive market. Recruitment challenges or labour shortages could affect operational capacity and project delivery. To reduce this risk, the group continues to invest in employee development, training and workforce engagement. The director seeks to maintain a positive working environment, competitive remuneration structures and strong relationships with trusted subcontractors and supply chain partners. |
Health, Safety Compliance |
The nature of the group's operations involves inherent health and safety risks associated with construction activities. Failure to maintain high standards of health, safety or environment compliance could result in financial penalties, reputational damage or operational disruption. |
The group maintains robust health and safety policies and procedures supported by regular training, site monitoring and compliance reviews. Management remains committed to promoting a strong safety culture throughout the organisation and ensuring compliance with all applicable legislation and industry standards. |
Credit Risk |
The group is exposed to credit risk through trade receivables and recoverability of amounts due on construction contracts. Delayed payments or customer insolvency could impact working capital and cash flow. |
The director closely monitors customer creditworthiness, aged receivables and contract recoverability on an ongoing basis. Management applies prudent controls over invoicing, debt collection and contract valuation procedures to minimise exposure to bad debts and disputed balances. |
Liquidity and Cash Flow Management |
ARC GROUP HOLDINGS LIMITED (REGISTERED NUMBER: 12550867) |
GROUP STRATEGIC REPORT |
for the year ended 31 August 2025 |
The business requires effective working capital management due to the timing of contract receipts, supplier payments and operational expenditure. Increase in turnover and project activity can place additional pressure on |
cash flow requirements. |
The director regularly reviews detailed cash flow forecasts, banking arrangements and financing requirements to ensure the group maintains sufficient liquidity to support operational activities and future growth. Banking facilities and debt obligations are monitored carefully and remain within manageable levels. |
Regulatory and Compliance Risk |
The group operates within a regulated environment and is subject to changes in taxation, employment legislation, construction regulations and environmental standards. Failure to comply with regulatory requirements could lead to financial or reputational consequences. |
The group engages professional advisers where appropriate and maintains internal procedures designed to ensure compliance with relevant legal and regulatory obligations. The director monitors legislative developments and assess the impact of regulatory changes on the business. |
Cyber Security and Information Management |
As the business continues to rely increasingly on digital systems and electronic communications, exposure to cybersecurity threats and data loss remains an ongoing risk. |
The group maintains appropriate IT controls, system protections, backup procedures and access restrictions |
designed to safeguard group information and operational systems. External IT support providers are utilised here necessary to maintain system resilience and security standards. |
Financial Risk Management |
The group's exposure to financial risk is managed through ongoing review procedures by the director. The principal financial risks relate to liquidity, credit risk and interest rate exposure. The director regularly reviews cash flow forecasts, debtor recoverability and financing arrangements to ensure the group maintains adequate working capital and financial flexibility. |
Employees |
The director recognise that employees are fundamental to the success of the business. The group remains committed to providing a safe and supportive working environment, promoting employee engagement and investing in training and professional development. |
Stakeholder Engagement |
The director understand the importance of maintaining strong relationships with customers, suppliers, subcontractors, employees and other stakeholders. The group seeks to operate responsibly and maintain high standards of business conduct across all areas of operation. |

REPORT OF THE DIRECTOR |
for the year ended 31 August 2025 |
STATEMENT OF DIRECTOR'S RESPONSIBILITIES - continued |
The director is responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that are sufficient to show and explain the company's and the group's transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the company and the group and enable him 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. |
STATEMENT AS TO DISCLOSURE OF INFORMATION TO AUDITORS |
So far as the director is aware, there is no relevant audit information (as defined by Section 418 of the Companies Act 2006) of which the group's auditors are unaware, and he has taken all the steps that he ought to have taken as a director in order to make himself aware of any relevant audit information and to establish that the group's auditors are aware of that information. |
ON BEHALF OF THE BOARD: |
REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE MEMBERS OF |
ARC GROUP HOLDINGS LIMITED |
Opinion |
| We have audited the financial statements of Arc Group Holdings Limited (the 'parent company') and its subsidiaries (the 'group') for the year ended 31 August 2025 which comprise the Consolidated Income Statement, Consolidated Other Comprehensive Income, Consolidated Balance Sheet, Company Balance Sheet, Consolidated Statement of Changes in Equity, Company Statement of Changes in Equity, Consolidated Cash Flow Statement and Notes to the Consolidated Cash Flow Statement, 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 group's and of the parent company affairs as at 31 August 2025 and of the group's 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 Auditors' responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the group 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's and the parent company's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue. |
Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the director with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report. |
Other information |
The director is responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information in the Group Strategic Report and the Report of the Director, but does not include the financial statements and our Report of the Auditors 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 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 Group Strategic Report and the Report of the Director for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements; and |
- | the Group Strategic Report and the Report of the Director have been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements. |
REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE MEMBERS OF |
ARC GROUP HOLDINGS LIMITED |
Matters on which we are required to report by exception |
In the light of the knowledge and understanding of the group and the parent company and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the Group Strategic Report or the Report of the Director. |
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 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 and 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 director |
As explained more fully in the Statement of Director's Responsibilities set out on pages seven and eight, 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 determines 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's and the 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 director either intends to liquidate the group or the parent company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so. |
REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE MEMBERS OF |
ARC GROUP HOLDINGS LIMITED |
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 a Report of the Auditors 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: |
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 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 directors and other management, and from our commercial knowledge and experience of the company's sector; |
- 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 and data protection, employment, 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 where necessary. |
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 transactions; |
- tested the appropriateness of journal entries; |
- tested authorisation of expenditure; |
- 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. |
To address the risk that revenue could be misstated due to fraud, we: |
- obtained an understanding of the company's revenue recognition policies and compared these to the accounting standard; |
- performed a walkthrough to confirm our understanding of the processes and controls through which the business initiates, records, processes and reports revenue transactions; |
- tested a sample of revenue transactions to supporting evidence; and |
- tested, on a sample basis, revenue related balances in the balance sheet. |
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; |
- reading the minutes of meetings of those charged with governance; |
- enquiring of management as to actual and potential litigation and claims; and |
- reviewing correspondence with HMRC and relevant regulators. |
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. |
REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE MEMBERS OF |
ARC GROUP HOLDINGS LIMITED |
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 Report of the Auditors. |
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 a Report of the Auditors and for no other purpose.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS |
for the year ended 31 August 2025 |
1. | STATUTORY INFORMATION |
Arc Group Holdings Limited is a |
| The presentation currency of the financial statements is the Pound Sterling (£). |
2. | ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
Basis of preparing the financial statements |
The group financial statements consolidate the financial statements of ARC Group London Limited and all its subsidiary undertakings drawn up to 31 August each year. |
Going concern |
After reviewing the group's forecasts and projections, the directors have a reasonable expectation that the group has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. The group therefore continues to adopt the going concern basis in preparing its consolidated financial statements. |
Basis of consolidation |
The consolidated financial statements incorporate the financial statements of the company and entities controlled by the group (its subsidiaries). Control is achieved where the group has power to govern the financial and operating policies of an entity so as to obtain benefits from its activities. |
Group reconstructions are accounted for using merger accounting. Acquisitions of subsidiaries and businesses are accounted for using the purchase method. The cost of the business combination is measured at the aggregate of the fair values (at the date of exchange) of assets given, liabilities incurred or assumed, and equity instruments issued by the group in exchange for control of the acquire plus costs direct attributed to the business combination. |
Any excess of the cost of the business combination over the acquirer's interest in the net fair value of the identifiable assets and liabilities is recognised as goodwill. If the net fair value of the identifiable assets and liabilities exceeds the cost of the business combination the excess is recognised separately on the face of the consolidated statement of financial position immediately below goodwill. |
The results of subsidiaries acquired or disposed of during the year are included in total comprehensive income from the effective date of acquisition and up to the effective date of disposal, as appropriate using accounting policies consistent with those of the parent. |
All intra-group transactions, balances, income and expenses are eliminated in full on consolidation. Wholly owned dormant subsidiaries are considered not to material for the purposes of providing a true and fair view and excluded from consolidation. |
Significant judgements and estimates |
| The group may be required to make significant estimates and assumptions concerning the future. These estimates and judgements are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under circumstances. The principle area where judgement was exercised are as follows: |
| Amounts recoverable on contracts: Amounts recoverable on long-term contracts represents the difference between the value of work completed on live construction projects at the balance sheet date and the amounts billed to customers. The value of work done is assessed by management with reference to stage of completion of the project and contract price. Management continuously review the balance to assess whether a provision needs to be entered against amounts which may not be recoverable. |

2. | ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued |
Turnover |
Turnover is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, excluding discounts, rebates, value added tax and other sales taxes from rendering of service. In respect of long-term contracts and contracts for on-going services, turnover represents the value of work done during the year, including estimates of amounts not invoiced. |
Turnover in respect of long-term contracts and contracts for on-going services is recognised by reference to the stage of completion of the contract. Turnover is only recognised to the extent of recoverable expense when the outcome of a contract cannot be estimated reliably. |
Rental income arising from operating leases on investment properties is recognised in the Profit and Loss Account on a straight-line basis over the lease term. |
Interest income is recognised in the Profit and Loss Account using the effective interest method as it accrues over the period of the deposit. |
Tangible fixed assets |
| Tangible fixed assets are held at cost less accumulated deprecation and any impairment losses. Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off the cost less estimated residual value of each asset over its estimated useful life. |
| Freehold Property - Building depreciated at 2% on straight line basis. Land is not depreciated. |
| Plant and Machinery - 25% on reducing balance. |
| Fixtures and fittings - 25% on reducing balance. |
| Motor vehicles - 25% on reducing balance. |
| Freehold land and buildings are measured using the revaluation model. These assets are stated at fair value on the date of the latest revaluation less subsequent accumulated depreciation and any impairment losses, where applicable. Valuations are made on annual basis so that the carrying amount of these asset does not differ materially from its fair value. |
Investment property |
| Investment property is shown at most recent valuation. Any aggregate surplus or deficit arising from changes in fair value is recognised in profit or loss. |
| Investment properties are held to earn rental income and for capital appreciation. Investment properties are initially measured at cost, including transaction costs. Subsequently, investment properties whose fair value can be measured reliably without undue cost or effort on an on-going basis are measured at fair value. Gains and losses arising from changes in the fair value of investment properties are included in profit and loss in the period in which they arise. |
Stocks |
| Stocks are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value, after making due allowance for obsolete and slow moving items. |
Financial instruments |
| The group only enters into basic financial instrument transactions that result in the recognition of financial asset or liabilities. |
| Short term debtors are measured at transaction price, less 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. |
| Short term trade creditors are measured at 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. |

2. | ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued |
Taxation |
| Taxation for the year comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is recognised in the Consolidated Income Statement, except to the extent that it relates to items recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity. |
| Current or deferred taxation assets and liabilities are not discounted. |
| Current tax is recognised at the amount of tax payable using the tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date. |
Deferred tax |
| Deferred tax is recognised in respect of all timing differences that have originated but not reversed at the balance sheet date. |
| Timing differences arise from the inclusion of income and expenses in tax assessments in periods different from those in which they are recognised in financial statements. Deferred tax is measured using tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the year end and that are expected to apply to the reversal of the timing difference. |
| Unrelieved tax losses and other deferred tax assets are recognised only to the extent that it is probable that they will be recovered against the reversal of deferred tax liabilities or other future taxable profits. |
Research and development |
| Expenditure on research and development is written off in the year in which it is incurred. |
Foreign currencies |
| Assets and liabilities in foreign currencies are translated into sterling at the rates of exchange ruling at the balance sheet date. Transactions in foreign currencies are translated into sterling at the rate of exchange ruling at the date of transaction. Exchange differences are taken into account in arriving at the operating result. |
Hire purchase and leasing commitments |
| Rentals paid under operating leases are charged to profit or loss on a straight line basis over the period of the lease. |
Pension costs and other post-retirement benefits |
The group operates a defined contribution pension scheme. Contributions payable to the group's pension scheme are charged to profit or loss in the period to which they relate. |
