STRATEGIC REPORT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 OCTOBER 2025
- 1 -

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

Review of the business

Wren Construction is a well-established contractor, operating as a main contractor across a broad range of industry sectors. Since its founding in 2010, the company has steadily strengthened its presence within the Commercial, Retail, Industrial, Education, Residential, and Healthcare markets.

 

Headquartered in Watford, Wren Construction also operates a number of satellite offices, enabling it to effectively serve clients nationally across the UK.

 

Performance

The Directors are pleased to report another successful year, with the business achieving a modest increase in turnover while continuing to build and reinforce relationships with key framework clients. All projects were delivered safely, on schedule, and to the high standards our clients expect. This consistent level of performance has further strengthened our reputation as a reliable and trusted contractor.

During the year, the Board implemented strategic measures to manage inflationary pressures, helping to safeguard the company’s financial strength and operational stability.

 

Progress has also continued in line with our growth strategy, which focuses on expanding our client base while broadening the services provided to existing clients. This approach has enabled the successful delivery of a number of complex and technically demanding projects, reflecting the expertise and commitment of our teams.

 

Principal risks and uncertainties

Economic uncertainty remains the single biggest risk within the construction sector and we manage these risks through robust systems and procedures. We have a strong forward order book for 2026/​27 and beyond and continue to expand our key client list through our reputation of delivery and relationships within the sector.

 

The impact from high inflation on labour levels and supply chain is being closely monitored and managed as is the effect on materials.

 

The company is continuing to expand its customer base both within and outside the current sectors and firmly believe it has a good foundation to survive any unforeseen outcomes in the near future.

 

With the strength of our balance sheet and our business model, we are confident that we can keep the ongoing impact of those challenges to a minimum.

 

There are a number of potential risks and uncertainties which could impact the Company’s performance, and these are considered by the Board on a regular basis. The Board of Directors and the relevant management teams consider the risks of all significant business decisions and changes in the external environment and in the company’s operations. The key risks affecting the business are as follows:

 

Operating Risk - the company manages this risk by providing added value services to its clients, having fast response times not only in supplying products and services but also in handling all client queries and by maintaining strong relationships with clients. The company's operating risk is reduced due to the market share of their clients as many of the company's clients are long standing market leaders in their field. The company has spread its operating risk by not only actively seeking to widen its client base but also through continued expansion of its activities in the UK.

 

Market Risk - the company seeks to maintain a competitive advantage by offering an appropriate and relevant service range and providing a high level of customer service from professional and dedicated staff. The company keeps abreast of developments in the market through maintaining strong relationships with its clients and monitoring the wider economic environment.

STRATEGIC REPORT (CONTINUED)
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 OCTOBER 2025

Principal risks and uncertainties continued

Personnel Risk – the Company is a privately-owned business and places great emphasis on recruiting, training, rewarding and retaining high quality people. The Directors consider staff resourcing on a regular basis. We promote from within whenever we can to maintain the company culture. We also embrace new people from elsewhere as they bring fresh ideas and the benefits of their experience. The Board have tried to ensure that the knowledge base of the operational management team is shared as much as possible throughout the company.

 

Taxation risk -the company is exposed to financial risks from increases in tax rates and changes to the basis of taxation including corporation tax and VAT. Principal controls to mitigate this risk include regular monitoring of legislative proposals and the engagement of experienced executives and the use of experienced sector-specific professional advisers to mitigate the impact of any changes and ensure compliance.

 

Financial Risk- the company finances its operation through the generation of cash from operating activities. The financial risk management objectives of the company in relation to financial instruments are set by the board of directors with a view to minimising exposure to price risk, credit risk, liquidity risk and cash flow risk. Financial monitoring, forecasting, and planning are ever present processes with the care taken to achieve a reasonable profit margin and investment in resources whilst maintaining delivery of a high-quality service to its clients - see also Financial instruments.

 

Information Technology – the Company relies heavily on systems to operate its business, ordering goods, paying suppliers, ensuring health and safety records are accurate, accounting and payroll. The risk of Cyber-attacks is ever present and an increasing risk to every business. Ensuring we have robust and up to date Cyber security measures and vigilant users is critical to the successful running of these systems, as well as employing appropriately skilled and experienced staff and external specialist support as required.

Economic risk - the directors have identified and evaluated risks and uncertainties and have controls in place to mitigate these. Responsibility for management of each key risk is identified and delegated. The company is exposed to the economic risks that could lower the company's revenues and operating results in the future. However, actions continue to be taken to maximise the company's performance in all aspects of the business.

Development and performance

The balance sheet on page 11 of the financial statements shows that the company's financial position at the year end is, in terms of both net assets and liquidity, an improvement over the previous year.

Cash measure

The net cash balance (cash and cash equivalents less borrowings) is a measure of the strength of the balance sheet and to confirm that the group has the funds necessary to continue to fund its operations and to continue to grow organically.

 

At the year end, the company had a net cash balance of £4,349,172 (2024: £2,044,702), an increase of £2,304,470 on the previous year.

DIRECTORS' REPORT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 OCTOBER 2025
- 5 -

The directors present their annual report and financial statements for the year ended 31 October 2025.

Principal activities

The principal activity of the company continued to be that of a company operating in the construction sector, primarily as a main contractor.

Results and dividends

The results for the year are set out on page 10.

Ordinary dividends were paid amounting to £907,384. The directors do not recommend payment of a final dividend.

Directors

The directors who held office during the year and up to the date of signature of the financial statements were as follows:

Financial instruments
Treasury operations and financial instruments

Objectives and policies

The company's principal financial instruments comprise bank balances, trade creditors, trade debtors and loans to related companies. The main purpose of these instruments is to raise funds for the company's operations and to finance the company's operations. The company's approach to managing other risks applicable to the financial instruments concerned is shown below.

 

Cash flow and liquidity risk

In respect of bank balances the liquidity risk is managed by maintaining a balance between continuity of funding and flexibility through an agreed payment policy. Strict payment terms are negotiated with the company's customers which enables it to ensure that it is paid promptly once an application has been issued. This policy ensures that sufficient funds are available to meet amounts due to trade creditors.

 

Trade debtors are managed in respect of credit and cash flow risk by policies concerning the credit offered to customers and the regular monitoring of amounts outstanding and the timely chasing of outstanding debt.

 

In respect of loans to related companies, these are unsecured, at an agreed rate of interest, with no fixed date for repayment. Loans to group companies are unsecured, interest-free and repayable on demand, with no fixed date for repayment.

Future developments

Wren Construction continues to prioritise profitable, sustainable growth by broadening its client base and strengthening its market share across key sectors. A central strategic aim is to secure a higher proportion of projects as Principal Contractor, reinforcing the company’s standing in the marketplace.

 

The Board remains confident that the company is well placed to respond to changing market conditions and to take advantage of emerging opportunities, particularly within new and developing sectors.

 

Our strategy of diversifying across sectors particularly in commercial, retail, healthcare, and leisure continues to gather pace. The directors are now focused on consolidating recent project wins and fostering long-term client relationships, supporting sustained growth and operational resilience in the years ahead.

Auditor

The auditor, Goldblatts, is deemed to be reappointed under section 487(2) of the Companies Act 2006.

Statement of directors' responsibilities

The directors are responsible 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:

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.

Statement of disclosure to auditor

So far as each person who was a director at the date of approving this report is aware, there is no relevant audit information of which the company’s auditor is unaware. Additionally, the directors individually have taken all the necessary steps that they ought to have taken as directors in order to make themselves aware of all relevant audit information and to establish that the company’s auditor is aware of that information.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT
TO THE MEMBER OF WREN CONSTRUCTION LIMITED

Opinion

We have audited the financial statements of Wren Construction Limited (the 'company') for the year ended 31 October 2025 which comprise the statement of comprehensive income, the balance sheet, the statement of changes in equity, the statement of cash flows and notes to the financial statements, including 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:

Basis for opinion

We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the 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 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.

 

Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the directors with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report.

Other information

The other information comprises the information included in the annual report other than the financial statements and our auditor's report thereon. The directors are responsible for the other information contained within the annual report. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report, we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon. 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 course of 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 our audit:

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT
TO THE MEMBER OF WREN CONSTRUCTION LIMITED (CONTINUED)
- 8 -
Matters on which we are required to report by exception

In the light of the 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 or the directors' report.

 

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

Responsibilities of directors

As explained more fully in the directors' responsibilities statement, 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's responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements

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

The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud, is detailed below.

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;

We assessed the susceptibility of the company’s financial statements to material misstatement, including obtaining an understanding of how fraud might occur, by:

WREN CONSTRUCTION LIMITED
INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT
TO THE MEMBER OF WREN CONSTRUCTION LIMITED (CONTINUED)
- 9 -

To address the risk of fraud through management bias and override of controls, we:

In response to the risk of irregularities and non-compliance with laws and regulations, we designed procedures which included, but were not limited to:

There are inherent limitations in our audit procedures described above. The more removed that laws and regulations are from the financial transactions, the less likely it is that we would become aware or any possible non-compliance. Auditing standards also limit the audit procedures required to identify non-compliance with laws and regulations to enquiry of directors and other management and the inspection of regulatory and legal correspondence, if any.

A further description of our responsibilities is available on the Financial Reporting Council’s website at: https://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 member 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 member those matters we are required to state to the member 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 member, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

Accounting policies
Company information

Wren Construction Limited is a private company limited by shares incorporated in England and Wales. The registered office is 17 Pennine Parade, Pennine Drive, London, NW2 1NT.

1.1
Basis of preparation

These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with FRS 102 “The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland” (“FRS 102”) and the requirements of the Companies Act 2006.

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 financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, The principal accounting policies adopted are set out below.

Wren Construction Limited is a wholly owned subsidiary of Wren (Holdings) Limited and the results of Wren Construction Limited are included in the consolidated financial statements of Wren (Holdings) Limited which are available from Hille Business Centre, 132 St Albans Road, Watford, WD24 4AE.

Construction services

Construction contracts

Where the outcome of a construction contract can be estimated reliably, revenue and costs are recognised by reference to the stage of completion of the contract activity at the reporting end date. Variations in contract work, claims and incentive payments are included to the extent that the amount can be measured reliably and its receipt is considered probable.

 

When it is probable that total contract costs will exceed total contract turnover, the expected loss is recognised as an expense immediately.

 

Where the outcome of a construction contract cannot be estimated reliably, contract revenue is recognised to the extent of contract costs incurred where it is probable that they will be recoverable. Contract costs are recognised as expenses in the period in which they are incurred. When costs incurred in securing a contract are recognised as an expense in the period in which they are incurred, they are not included in contract costs if the contract is obtained in a subsequent period.

 

The “percentage of completion method” is used to determine the appropriate amount to recognise in a given period. The stage of completion is measured by the proportion of contract costs incurred for work performed to date compared to the estimated total contract costs. Costs incurred in the year in connection with future activity on a contract are excluded from contract costs in determining the stage of completion. These costs are presented as stocks, prepayments or other assets depending on their nature, and provided it is probable they will be recovered.

Management charges

Management charges receivable represents various overheads incurred by the company which are recharged to the other related companies net of VAT. Income is recognised on the provision of the service.

1.4
Tangible fixed assets

Tangible fixed assets are initially measured at cost and subsequently measured at cost or valuation, net of depreciation and any impairment losses.

Depreciation is recognised so as to write off the cost or valuation of assets less their residual values over their useful lives on the following bases:

Fixtures and fittings
20% Straight line
Motor vehicles
25% Reducing Balance

The gain or loss arising on the disposal of an asset is determined as the difference between the sale proceeds and the carrying value of the asset, and is credited or charged to profit or loss.

1.5
Stocks

Stock and work in progress are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Cost includes all direct costs and an appropriate proportion of fixed and variable overheads. Work in progress is reflected in the accounts on a contract by contract basis and represents the unbilled direct and indirect costs incurred as at the year end. These typically arise where mid month valuations have occurred and a time apportioned estimate of the cost of measured work has been calculated. Net realisable value represents the certified value of the measured work carried out in a particular period, invoiced subsequent to the year end.

At each reporting date, an assessment is made for impairment. Any excess of the carrying amount of stocks over its estimated selling price less costs to complete and sell is recognised as an impairment loss in profit or loss. Reversals of impairment losses are also recognised in profit or loss.

1.6
Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents are basic financial assets and include cash in hand, deposits held at call with banks, other short-term liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less, and bank overdrafts, where relevant.

1.7
Financial instruments

The company has elected to apply the provisions of Section 11 ‘Basic Financial Instruments’ and Section 12 ‘Other Financial Instruments Issues’ 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.

1.8
Taxation

The tax expense represents the sum of the tax currently payable and deferred tax.

Current tax

The tax currently payable is based on taxable profit for the year. Taxable profit differs from net profit as reported in the profit and loss account because it excludes items of income or expense that are taxable or deductible in other years and it further excludes items that are never taxable or deductible. The company’s liability for current tax is calculated using tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting end date.

Deferred tax

Deferred tax liabilities are generally recognised for all timing differences and deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that they will be recovered against the reversal of deferred tax liabilities or other future taxable profits. Such assets and liabilities are not recognised if the timing difference arises from goodwill or from the initial recognition of other assets and liabilities in a transaction that affects neither the tax profit nor the accounting profit.

The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at each reporting end date and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profits will be available to allow all or part of the asset to be recovered. Deferred tax is calculated at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the period when the liability is settled or the asset is realised. Deferred tax is charged or credited in the profit and loss account, except when it relates to items charged or credited directly to equity, in which case the deferred tax is also dealt with in equity. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when the company has a legally enforceable right to offset current tax assets and liabilities and the deferred tax assets and liabilities relate to taxes levied by the same tax authority.

1.9
Employee benefits

The costs of short-term employee benefits are recognised as a liability and an expense, unless those costs are required to be recognised as part of the cost of stock or fixed assets.

 

The cost of any unused holiday entitlement is recognised in the period in which the employee’s services are received.

 

Termination benefits are recognised immediately as an expense when the company is demonstrably committed to terminate the employment of an employee or to provide termination benefits.

1.10
Retirement benefits

Payments to defined contribution retirement benefit schemes are charged as an expense as they fall due.

Leases
As lessee

Rentals payable under operating leases, including any lease incentives received, are charged to profit or loss on a straight line basis over the term of the relevant lease except where another more systematic basis is more representative of the time pattern in which economic benefits from the leases asset are consumed.

2
Judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty

In the application of the company’s accounting policies, the directors are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amount of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

 

The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised where the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods where the revision affects both current and future periods.

Critical judgements

The following judgements (apart from those involving estimates) have had the most significant effect on amounts recognised in the financial statements.

Revenue recognition - Long term Contracts

Revenue recognition is a key area of judgement especially in companies operating in the construction industry. Recognition of turnover and profit on long term contracts requires management judgement regarding the anticipated final outcome of individual contracts and of the proportion of works completed at the balance sheet date. Management undertakes detailed reviews on a monthly basis in order to exercise judgement over the outcome of each contract and the associated risks and opportunities.

 

The value of work completed at the balance sheet date is assessed by undertaking surveys and completing internal valuations on each element of works and in progress. Regular management reviews of contract work in progress are undertaken.

 

The age, nature and recoverability of all debtors and amounts recoverable on long term contracts are reviewed regularly by management and provisions made where appropriate.

 

The directors have ensured that generally accepted industry practices and methodologies are followed by all relevant personnel and that accounting and quality management systems are regularly evaluated. Consistent procedures and management tools are in place to ensure that estimates are applied and results determined on a consistent basis.

Recoverability of intercompany balances

Management regularly review intercompany balances for recoverability.
