Strategic Report for the Year Ended 31 December 2025
The directors present their strategic report for the year ended 31 December 2025.
Principal activity
The principal activity of the company is activities of a holding company for investments in wholly owned companies and property.
Fair review of the business
The Haley Group had a very good year. Group sales were £34.4m (2024: £32.7m) and the group pretax profit was £6.5m (2024 £5.1m).
The Haley Group of companies contributed to construction projects in 2025 of national importance.
We continue to make steel frames & balustrades for school and university buildings. In 2025 we supplied steel frames to schools in London, Cardiff & Birmingham. Since 2001, we have supplied steel frames for over 200 schools and 19 universities. We built the steel frame for the first new school under the ‘Building Schools for the Future’ programme. The school, Brunel Academy (then called Speedwell) was opened by Prime Minister Gordon Brown in 2007.
We continue to supply the Ministry of Defence with steel frames for buildings, and towers for radar. For the UK mobile telecom networks, we lead in the strengthening programme to prolong the service life of masts and increase their antenna capacity. We supplied the ancillary steelwork for a nuclear power station, screwpiles for structures, signal gantries for network rail and create and make decorative plasterwork for London’s luxurious residences and exclusive clubs, restaurants and shops.
The common factors leading to success in all the Group’s businesses are design and manufacturing quality, innovation, continuous improvement, project management, seeing problems as opportunities and finding, through engineering, the solutions.
Haley Securities Ltd is the holding company for investments in wholly owned companies and property. It was founded in 1986.
William Haley Engineering Ltd is engaged in the design, fabrication, and erection of steel frames for buildings. It was founded in 1986.
Francis and Lewis International Ltd designs, fabricates and installs steel structures for telecommunications, railways, highways, and nuclear power. Its products include towers, masts, ancillary steelwork, and screw piles. The business was founded in 1951.
George Jackson Ltd designs, manufactures and fixes decorative plasterwork. Founded in 1780 it is Britain’s oldest and most famous producer of decorative fibrous plasterwork.
Concept Fabrications Cymru Ltd (acquired October 2024) is engaged in the design, fabrication and installation of architectural metal work. Including stairs, hand rails & balustrades. The business was founded in 2000.
The Haley Group focuses on the long term. The group maintains a strong financial position. Each company is self-financed with cash balances and nil bank borrowing.
Haley Securities Limited
Strategic Report for the Year Ended 31 December 2025
Principal risks and uncertainties
Price risk: The group is exposed to unpredictable steel cost changes. For long-term orders prices are reviewable at intervals to cover increases in the cost of steel. For orders with short delivery dates costs of steel can be judged and a limited risk taken.
Credit and Cash flow risk: The group's principal financial assets are trade and other receivables. The group's credit risk is primarily attributable to its trade receivables. The group selects customers that have low credit risk.
Liquidity risk The group maintains cash balances and therefore liquidity risks are negligible.

Haley Securities Limited
Directors' Report for the Year Ended 31 December 2025
The directors present their report and the consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2025.
Directors of the group
The directors who held office during the year were as follows:
Financial instruments
Price risk, credit risk, liquidity risk and cash flow risk
Price risk: The group is exposed to unpredictable steel cost changes. For long term orders prices are reviewable at intervals to cover increases in the cost of steel and maximum escalations are accepted, with higher increases passed on to the customer. For the rest of the business we supply customers on short delivery dates so that costs of steel can be reasonably estimated.
Credit and Cash flow risk: The group's principal financial assets are trade and other receivables. The group's credit risk is primarily attributable to its trade receivables. The group selects customers that have low credit risk.
Liquidity risk The group maintains cash balances and therefore liquidity risks are negligible.
Disclosure of information to the auditor
Each director has taken steps that they ought to have taken as a director in order to make themselves aware of any relevant audit information and to establish that the company's auditor is aware of that information. The directors confirm that there is no relevant information that they know of and of which they know the auditor is unaware.
Future Developments
The future developments of the business are included within the strategic report.

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 group and the company 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 apply them consistently; |
|
• |
make judgements and accounting estimates that are reasonable and prudent; |
|
• |
state whether applicable UK Accounting Standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; 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 group's and the company's transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the group and 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 group and the company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
Haley Securities Limited
Independent Auditor's Report to the Members of Haley Securities Limited
Opinion
We have audited the financial statements of Haley Securities Limited (the 'holding company') and its subsidiaries (the 'group') for the year ended 31 December 2025, which comprise the Consolidated Profit and Loss Account, Consolidated Balance Sheet, Balance Sheet, Consolidated Statement of Changes in Equity, Statement of Changes in Equity, Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows, 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 group's and the holding company's affairs as at 31 December 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 auditor 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 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.
Haley Securities Limited
Independent Auditor's Report to the Members of Haley Securities Limited
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. |
In the light of our knowledge and understanding of the group and the holding company and their environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the Strategic Report and the Directors' Report.
Matters on which we are required to report by exception
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 holding company, or returns adequate for our audit have not been received from branches not visited by us; or |
• | the holding 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 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 group’s and the holding 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 holding company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.
Haley Securities Limited
Independent Auditor's Report to the Members of Haley Securities Limited
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.
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 extent to which the audit was considered capable of detecting irregularities including fraud
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 design, manufacturing and supply 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, data protection, anti-bribery, employment, environmental 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. |
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; |
|
• |
tested journal entries to identify unusual transactions; |
|
• |
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. |
Haley Securities Limited
Independent Auditor's Report to the Members of Haley Securities Limited
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, relevant regulators including the Health and Safety Executive, and the company’s legal advisors. |
There are inherent limitations in our audit procedures described above. The more removed that laws and regulations are from financial transactions, the less likely it is that we would become aware of non-compliance. Auditing standards also limit the audit procedures required to identify non-compliance with laws and regulations to enquiry of the directors and other management and the inspection of regulatory and legal correspondence, if any.
Material misstatements that arise due to fraud can be harder to detect than those that arise from error as they may involve deliberate concealment or collusion.
A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the Financial Reporting Council's website at www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our 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.

Accounting policies |
Statement of compliance
These financial statements were prepared in accordance with Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland and the Companies Act 2006'.
Basis of preparation
These financial statements have been prepared using the historical cost convention except that as disclosed in the accounting policies certain items are shown at fair value.
These financial statements are presented in Sterling (£).
Summary of significant accounting policies and key accounting estimates
The principal accounting policies applied in the preparation of these financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all the years presented, unless otherwise stated.
Haley Securities Limited
Notes to the Financial Statements
for the Year Ended 31 December 2025
Basis of consolidation
The consolidated financial statements consolidate the financial statements of the company and its subsidiary undertakings drawn up to 31 December 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 results of subsidiaries acquired or disposed of during the year are included in the Profit and Loss Account from the effective date of acquisition or up to the effective date of disposal, as appropriate. Where necessary, adjustments are made to the financial statements of subsidiaries to bring their accounting policies into line with those used by the group.
The purchase method of accounting is used to account for business combinations that result in the acquisition of subsidiaries by the group. The cost of a business combination is measured as the fair value of the assets given, equity instruments issued and liabilities incurred or assumed at the date of exchange, plus costs directly attributable to the business combination. Identifiable assets acquired and liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed in a business combination are measured initially at their fair values at the acquisition date. Any excess of the cost of the business combination over the acquirer’s interest in the net fair value of the identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities recognised is recorded as goodwill.
Inter-company transactions, balances and unrealised gains on transactions between the company and its subsidiaries, which are related parties, are eliminated in full.
Intra-group losses are also eliminated but may indicate an impairment that requires recognition in the consolidated financial statements.
Accounting policies of subsidiaries have been changed where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the group. Non-controlling interests in the net assets of consolidated subsidiaries are identified separately from the group’s equity therein. Non-controlling interests consist of the amount of those interests at the date of the original business combination and the non-controlling shareholder’s share of changes in equity since the date of the combination.
Haley Securities Limited
Notes to the Financial Statements
for the Year Ended 31 December 2025
Key sources of estimation uncertainty
The preparation of the financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported. These estimates and judgements are continually reviewed and are based on experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.
(a) Key sources of estimation uncertainty
Accounting estimates and assumptions are made concerning the future and, by their nature, will rarely equal the related actual outcome. The key assumptions and other sources of estimation uncertainty that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year are as follows:
(i) Useful economic lives of tangible assets
The annual depreciation charge for tangible assets is sensitive to changes in the estimated useful economic lives and residual values are re-assessed annually. They are amended when necessary to reflect current estimates, based on technological advancement, future investments, economic utilisation and the physical condition of the assets. See notes to the accounts for the carrying amount of the property, plant and equipment and for the useful economic lives for each class of assets.
(ii) Impairment of debtors
The group makes an estimate of the recoverable value of trade and other debtors. When assessing impairment of trade and other debtors, management considers factors including the current credit rating of the debtor, the ageing profile of debtors and historical experience.
(iii) Revenue recognition of construction contracts
The revenue recognition relating to construction contracts requires an estimate to be made of the outcome, and the stage of completion of the contract. This requires further reliable estimates to be made of future costs and the collectability of billings.
(iv) Recognition of deferred tax asset
A deferred tax asset is recognised for all deductible temporary differences to the extent that it is probable that taxable profits will be available to offset against these losses. Where there is a great uncertainty regarding the generation of these profits, the carrying amount of the deferred tax asset is reduced to equate to the amount that is more likely than not to be utilised based on future taxable profits. This requires an estimate to be made of future taxable profits.
Haley Securities Limited
Notes to the Financial Statements
for the Year Ended 31 December 2025
Turnover recognition
Turnover comprises the fair value of the consideration received or receivable for the sale of goods and provision of services in the ordinary course of the group’s activities. Turnover is shown net of sales/value added tax, returns, rebates and discounts and after eliminating sales within the group.
Revenue from rental income represents the receipts or amounts receivable for rental of company owned property net of value added tax and dividends received from unlisted investments. Turnover is recognised in the period to which it relates.
Revenue from construction contracts is recognised when it can be estimated reliably by reference to
the stage of completion of the contract activity. When the outcome cannot be reliably estimated,
revenue is recognised only to the extent that expenses recognised are recoverable.
Tax
The tax expense for the period comprises current and deferred tax. 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 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 group operates and generates taxable income.
Deferred tax is recognised on timing differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the consolidated financial statements and on unused tax losses or tax credits in the group. Deferred tax is determined using tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date.
The carrying amount of deferred tax assets are reviewed at each reporting date and a valuation allowance is set up against deferred tax assets so that the net carrying amount equals the highest amount that is more likely than not to be recovered based on current or future taxable profit.
Deferred tax liabilities are presented within provisions for liabilities on the balance sheet.
Tangible assets
Tangible assets are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses.
The cost of tangible assets includes directly attributable incremental costs incurred in their acquisition and installation.

Depreciation
Depreciation is charged so as to write off the cost of assets, other than land and properties under construction over their estimated useful lives, as follows:
|
Asset class |
Depreciation method and rate |
|
Land |
Not depreciated |
|
Buildings |
Not depreciated |
|
Land and buildings - Renewable Energy Equipment |
15% reducing balance |
|
Furniture, fittings and equipment |
15 - 40% reducing balance |
|
Plant and machinery |
20 - 40% reducing balance |
|
Motor vehicles |
25% reducing balance |
Buildings are not depreciated as they are maintained to a high standard.
Business combinations
Business combinations are accounted for using the purchase method. The consideration for each acquisition is measured at the aggregate of the fair values at acquisition date of assets given, liabilities incurred or assumed, and equity instruments issued by the group in exchange for control of the acquired, plus any costs directly attributable to the business combination. When a business combination agreement provides for an adjustment to the cost of the combination contingent on future events, the group includes the estimated amount of that adjustment in the cost of the combination at the acquisition date if the adjustment is probable and can be measured reliably.
Goodwill
Goodwill arising on the acquisition of an entity represents the excess of the cost of acquisition over the group’s interest in the net fair value of the identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities of the entity recognised at the date of acquisition. Goodwill is initially recognised as an asset at cost and is subsequently measured at cost less accumulated amortisation and accumulated impairment losses. Goodwill is held in the currency of the acquired entity and revalued to the closing rate at each reporting period date. Goodwill is amortised over its useful life, which shall not exceed ten years if a reliable estimate of the useful life cannot be made.
Amortisation
Amortisation is provided on intangible assets so as to write off the cost, less any estimated residual value, over their useful life as follows:
|
Asset class |
Amortisation method and rate |
|
Goodwill |
20% straight line |
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.
Interest income on debt securities, where applicable, is recognised in income using the effective interest method. Dividends on equity securities are recognised in income when receivable.
Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash on hand and call deposits, and other short-term highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to a known amount of cash and are subject to an insignificant risk of change in value.
Haley Securities Limited
Notes to the Financial Statements
for the Year Ended 31 December 2025
Trade debtors
Trade debtors are amounts due from customers for merchandise sold or services performed in the ordinary course of business.
Trade debtors are recognised initially at the transaction price. They are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less provision for impairment. A provision for the impairment of trade debtors is established when there is objective evidence that the group will not be able to collect all amounts due according to the original terms of the receivables.
Long term contracts
Amounts recoverable on long term contracts, which are included in debtors, are stated at the net of sales value of the work done after the provisions for contingencies and anticipated future losses on contracts, less amounts received as progress payments on account. Excess progress payments are included in creditors as payments on account.
Stocks
Stocks are stated at the lower of cost and estimated selling price less costs to complete and sell. Cost is determined using the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method.
The cost of finished goods and work in progress comprises direct materials and, where applicable, direct labour costs and those overheads that have been incurred in bringing the inventories to their present location and condition. At each reporting date, stocks are assessed for impairment. If stocks are impaired, the carrying amount is reduced to its selling price less costs to complete and sell; the impairment loss is recognised immediately in profit or loss.
Trade creditors
Trade creditors are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of business from suppliers. Accounts payable are classified as current liabilities if the group 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.
Trade creditors are recognised initially at the transaction price and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
Provisions
Provisions are recognised when the group has an obligation at the reporting date as a result of a past
event, it is probable that the group will be required to settle that obligation and a reliable estimate can
be made of the amount of the obligation.
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 profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the period of the lease.
Haley Securities Limited
Notes to the Financial Statements
for the Year Ended 31 December 2025
Share capital
Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Equity instruments are measured at the fair value of the cash or other resources received or receivable, net of the direct costs of issuing the equity instruments. If payment is deferred and the time value of money is material, the initial measurement is on a present value basis.
Dividends
Dividend distribution to the group’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
The group operates a defined contribution plan for its employees. A defined contribution plan is a pension plan under which the group pays fixed contributions into a separate entity. Once the contributions have been paid the group has no further payments obligations.
The contributions are recognised as an expense in the profit and loss account when they fall due. Amounts not paid are shown in accruals as a liability in the balance sheet. The assets of the plan are held separately from the group in independently administered funds.
Reserves
Called up share capital represents the nominal value of shares that have been issued.
Revaluation reserve is the surplus or deficit arising on the revaluation of an asset of a company.
