| Group Strategic Report |
| for the Year Ended 31 October 2025 |
| The directors present their strategic report of the company and the group for the year ended 31 October 2025. |
| REVIEW OF BUSINESS |
| TLS continued to deliver strong operational and financial performance during the year ended 31 October 2025, building upon the progress achieved in the prior financial year. |
| The company operates as a managed support service provider to the traffic management and highways industry, supplying vehicles, operatives, and specialist equipment to support traffic management operations across the UK. A significant proportion of the company's activity is generated through long-standing framework agreements with leading traffic management providers operating within the Strategic Road Network. |
| During the year, turnover increased significantly from £20.2 million in 2024 to £26.4 million in 2025, representing growth of approximately 31%. This increase reflects continued demand for the company's services, expansion of existing customer relationships, and growth in operational capacity across multiple regions. |
| Gross profit for the year was achieved at 15.25% compared with 15.46% in the prior year. Whilst the gross margin reduced marginally, this was impacted by continued labour market pressures, rising operational costs, and the investment required to support rapid business growth and service delivery. |
| Net profit increased from £0.731 million in 2024 to £1.728 million in 2025, with net profit margins improving from 3.62% to 6.54%. This represents a strong financial performance and demonstrates the company's ability to grow profitably whilst continuing to invest in its people, fleet, systems, and operational infrastructure. |
| The directors remain satisfied with the overall performance of the business during the financial year and believe TLS remains well positioned within the traffic management support sector. |
| PRINCIPAL RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES |
| The directors continually assess the principal risks and uncertainties facing the business and implement strategies to mitigate their impact where possible. |
| One of the primary operational risks remains adverse weather conditions during the winter months. Severe weather can impact operational efficiency, project scheduling, and demand levels across parts of the highways sector. The business continues to manage this risk through careful operational planning, flexible deployment of resources, and maintaining strong customer communication. |
| The continued shortage of qualified traffic management operatives within the industry also remains a significant challenge. Competition for skilled labour across the sector has increased pressure on recruitment, retention, and wage costs. TLS continues to address this through ongoing investment in recruitment, training, and workforce development initiatives. The company actively supports the progression of new trainees into the industry whilst continuing to upskill and develop existing employees through structured training programmes. |
| The directors also recognise the importance of maintaining operational efficiency and adapting to changing customer requirements. Continued investment in technology, fleet infrastructure, and management systems is considered essential to maintaining service standards and competitiveness. |
| FINANCIAL KPIS |
| Turnover: £26.4m (2024: £20.2m) |
| Net Profit: £1.728m (2024: £0.731m) |
| Net Profit Margin: 6.54% (2024: 3.62%) |
| Gross Profit Margin: 15.25% (2024: 15.46%) |

| Limited (Registered number: 07889562) |
| Group Strategic Report |
| for the Year Ended 31 October 2025 |
| NON-FINANCIAL KPIS |
| TLS continues to focus on several non-financial performance indicators which are considered critical to the long-term success of the business. |
| Key areas of focus during the year included: |
| o Continued recruitment and training of new traffic management operatives. |
| o Ongoing workforce upskilling and competency development. |
| o Investment in modern fleet replacement and operational equipment. |
| o Strengthening customer relationships through framework agreements and service delivery. |
| o Expansion of the company's operational footprint within the South of England whilst maintaining a strong presence in the North. |
| o Continued investment in proprietary software systems, including the development of Compass, the company's bespoke internal management platform. |
| o Continued commitment to local community investment and environmental improvement initiatives. |
| The directors believe these areas remain fundamental to maintaining service quality, operational efficiency, and long-term sustainable growth. |
| FUTURE BUSINESS PLANS |
| The directors remain optimistic regarding the future prospects of the business. |
| During 2026, TLS intends to continue expanding its operations within the South of England whilst maintaining and strengthening its established presence in the North of England. |
| A key strategic objective for the coming financial year will be improving gross profit margins alongside continued revenue growth. The company is targeting an improvement in gross profit margin of approximately 1.5% through enhanced operational efficiencies, improved utilisation, pricing strategies, and continued investment in technology and workforce capability. |
| The company also intends to continue investing in its fleet replacement programme to ensure vehicles and operational equipment remain modern, reliable, and efficient. |
| Further strengthening of the management structure is planned during 2026 through the appointment of two additional directors together with internal promotions across the business. The directors believe these changes will enhance operational leadership, governance, and long-term succession planning. |
| TLS will also continue to invest in smart technologies and software development through its Compass platform to further improve operational efficiency, customer experience, reporting capability, and workforce management. |
| In addition, the company remains committed to supporting local communities and continuing its progression towards carbon neutrality through environmentally focused investment and operational improvements. |

| Group Strategic Report |
| for the Year Ended 31 October 2025 |
| CONCLUSION |
| The directors consider the financial year ended 31 October 2025 to have been highly successful for TLS, with strong growth in turnover and profitability achieved despite ongoing industry-wide operational challenges. |
| The business remains financially strong, operationally resilient, and well positioned within the traffic management support sector. Continued investment in people, technology, fleet infrastructure, and management capability provides the directors with confidence in the future prospects of the company. |
| The directors believe TLS is well placed to continue delivering sustainable growth and long-term value for customers, employees, and stakeholders in the years ahead. |

| DIRECTORS |
| The directors shown below have held office during the whole of the period from 1 November 2024 to the date of this report. |
| STATEMENT OF DIRECTORS' RESPONSIBILITIES |
| The directors are responsible for preparing the Group Strategic Report, the Report of the Directors 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 the group and of the profit or loss of the group for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the directors are required to: |
| - | select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently; |
| - | make judgements and accounting estimates that are reasonable and prudent; |
| - | 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 and the 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. They are 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 directors are 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 each director 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. |

| Report of the Directors |
| for the Year Ended 31 October 2025 |
| AUDITORS |
| The auditors, KJA Kilner Johnson, will be proposed for re-appointment at the forthcoming Annual General Meeting. |
| ON BEHALF OF THE BOARD: |
| Report of the Independent Auditors to the Members of |
| Traffic Labour Supplies (Holdings) |
| Limited |
| Opinion |
| We have audited the financial statements of Traffic Labour Supplies (Holdings) Limited (the 'parent company') and its subsidiaries (the 'group') for the year ended 31 October 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 October 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 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 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 directors with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report. |
| Other matters |
| In line with ISA (UK) 710 Paragraph 14, we state the fact that the corresponding figures are unaudited. We have |
| performed audit procedures to obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence that the opening balances do not contain |
| misstatements that materially affect the current period's financial statements |
| Other information |
| The directors are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information in the Group Strategic Report and the Report of the Directors, 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. |
| Report of the Independent Auditors to the Members of |
| Traffic Labour Supplies (Holdings) |
| Limited |
| 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 Directors 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 Directors 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 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 Directors. |
| 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 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 five, 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 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 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 directors either intend to liquidate the group or the parent company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so. |
| Report of the Independent Auditors to the Members of |
| Traffic Labour Supplies (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: |
| While planning our audit, we have enquired of management and those charged with governance around any actual or potential litigation and claims against the company for non-compliance with specific laws and regulations. The same has been done in respect of any instances of fraud or irregularities. The responses received have been communicated with the engagement team at the planning stage. |
| We have not been informed of any specific laws or regulatory related issues that could materially impact the financial statements in addition to this, there has been no suspected fraud or irregularities reported to us. |
| While planning our audit the engagement partner selected appropriately trained staff to be engaged in the audit and the team are allocated based on their competence and capabilities. |
| The audit work undertaken is a substantive work based audit approach, reviewing to source documentation where appropriate and includes a review and walkthrough of the systems which management have put in place. These tests are directional. Therefore, they are designed in a way to maximise audit effectiveness and the possible identification of any material fraud, irregularities, or instances of systems and procedure breaches. Our testing did not identify any issues that require additional reporting. |
| These tests and other areas of our audit work are designed to enhance our ability to detect cases of material fraud and certain irregularities. It should be noted that our audit is carried out using a material based approach and therefore does not test every transaction, as such it would not detect all instances of irregularities and specifically fraud which is inherently more difficult to detect. |
| 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. 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. |

| 1. | STATUTORY INFORMATION |
| Traffic Labour Supplies (Holdings) Limited is a |
| 2. | ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
| Basis of preparing the financial statements |
| Basis of Consolidation |
| The consolidated financial statements consolidate the financial statements of the company and its subsidiary undertakings drawn upto 31 October 2025. |
| A subsidiary is an entity controlled by the company. Control is achieved where the company has the power to govern the financial and operating policies of an entity so as to obtain benefits from its activities. |
| The group financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the principles of FRS 102 acquisition method. |
| Where necessary, adjustments are made to the financial statements of subsidiaries to bring the accounting policies used into line with those used by other members of the group. |
| All intra-group transactions, balances and unrealised gains on transactions between group companies are eliminated on consolidation. Unrealised losses are also eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of an impairment of the asset transferred. Subsidiaries are consolidated in the group's financial statements from the date that control commences until the date that control ceases. |
| Going concern |
| At the time of approving the financial statements, the directors have a reasonable expectation that the company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus the directors continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements. |
| Presentation Currency |
| The consolidated financial statements are presented in Pounds Sterling (£), which is the Parent Company's functional currency and the Group's presentation currency. Amounts are rounded to the nearest pound unless otherwise stated. |
| Significant judgements and estimates |
| The preparation of the financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts amounts of income and expenditure in the reporting period. Actual results may differ from those estimates. |
| There are no other balance sheet items which have accounting judgements or key sources of estimation uncertainty other than fixed asset depreciation, prepayments, accrued income and accruals. |

| Turnover |
| Turnover comprises the consideration received or receivable for the provision of services rendered in the ordinary course of the company's activities. Turnover is shown net of sales/value added tax, returns, rebates 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 services have been rendered in full.. |
| Goodwill |
| Intangible assets |
| 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. |
| Tangible fixed assets |
| Improvements to property | - |
| Plant and machinery | - |
| Motor vehicles | - |
| Computer equipment | - |
| Freehold 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 property is measured at the most recent valuation under the fair value model as per FRS 102 s16.4A. Any aggregate surplus or deficit arising from changes in fair value is recognised in profit or loss. |
| 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. |

| Hire purchase and leasing commitments |
| Assets obtained under hire purchase contracts or finance leases are capitalised in the balance sheet. Those held under hire purchase contracts are depreciated over their estimated useful lives. Those held under finance leases are depreciated over their estimated useful lives or the lease term, whichever is the shorter. |
| The interest element of these obligations is charged to profit or loss over the relevant period. The capital element of the future payments is treated as a liability. |
| 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. |
| Accrued income |
| Accrued Income consists of late invoices and work in progress. Once the relevant performance obligations are satisfied in point of time and services rendered in full, the accrued income is then invoiced and recognised as a trade debtor. |
| Investments |
| Investments in equity shares which are publicly traded or where the fair value can be measured reliably are initially measured at fair value, with changes in fair value recognised in profit or loss. Investments in equity shares which are not publicly traded and where fair value cannot be measured reliably are measured at cost less impairment. |
| Non controlling interests |
| Non-controlling interest represents the equity in the subsidiary; Traffic Labour Supplies Limited, of 10%, not attributable, directly or indirectly, to the parent company. The registered office of the subsidiary is Yorkshire House, Weeland Road, Hensall, Goole, DN14 0QE. |
