Strategic Report
for the Year Ended 31 March 2026

The directors present their strategic report for the year ended 31 March 2026.


Executive Summary

Chris Allsop Metal Recycling Ltd is a well-established Midlands-based recycling and industrial services business with over two decades of trading history. The Company has continued to demonstrate resilience within a challenging market environment, supported by a strong operational infrastructure, a diverse customer base, and ongoing investment in its people, plant, and equipment.

The Company's strategic objective remains the continued development of its position as a leading regional recycling and industrial services provider. Through investment in operational efficiency, transport capability, and higher-margin material streams, the business aims to strengthen profitability whilst maintaining high standards of customer service and environmental compliance.

Key strategic priorities for the coming years include:
- Expanding commercial and industrial customer contracts.
- Strengthening environmental, social and governance (ESG) performance and sustainability initiatives.
- Increasing access to higher-margin material opportunities.
- Pursuing sustainable growth across the Midlands region.
- Continuing the development of a robust health and safety management system across all areas of the business.
- Enhancing the Transport Management System to improve efficiency, service delivery and support future growth.

Business Review

The year under review presented a number of challenges across the recycling and transport sectors. The liquidation of several large competitors within the local market resulted in a reduction in available third-party transport capacity, creating additional pressure on logistics operations and impacting the Company's ability to deliver material efficiently in support of contractual obligations.

Recruitment and retention of suitably skilled employees also remained challenging throughout the year. The availability of experienced candidates for both transport and yard-based operational roles has been limited, placing additional pressure on maintaining service levels and supporting future growth plans. To address these challenges, the Company has strengthened relationships with professional recruitment agencies and continues to invest in workforce development and training initiatives.

The business also experienced increased operating costs during the year, driven by volatility in fuel availability and pricing, together with wider economic factors affecting the supply of recyclable materials within the UK market. These conditions have required careful management of margins and operational resources whilst maintaining competitive service levels.

Future Developments

The directors remain confident in the long-term prospects of the business. Continued investment in plant, processing equipment and motor vehicles will remain a key priority during the coming year. This investment strategy is intended to minimise repair and maintenance costs, improve operational reliability, increase efficiency, and support the Company's growth objectives.

The Company will continue to focus on operational excellence, customer service, health and safety performance, and sustainable growth opportunities whilst maintaining a strong financial position and adapting to changing market conditions.

Principal Risks and Uncertainties

The principal risks facing the Company include:
- Fluctuations in global and domestic scrap metal prices.
- Availability and cost of transport and fuel.
- Recruitment and retention of skilled employees.
- Changes in environmental and regulatory requirements.
- Economic conditions affecting the availability of recyclable materials and customer demand.

The directors continually monitor these risks and implement appropriate measures to mitigate their potential impact on the business.

Strategic Report
for the Year Ended 31 March 2026

SECTION 172(1) STATEMENT
Set out below is the Company's section 172 report as required by the Regulations. The Regulations require Chris Allsop Metal Recycling Ltd to report how the Directors of the Company have considered their duties under section 172 (of the Companies Act 2006) to promote the success of the Company for the benefit of its sole members, and in doing so have regard (amongst other matters) to:

· the likely consequences of any decision in the long term;
· the interest of the Company's employees;
· the need to foster the Company's business relationships with suppliers, customers and others;
· the impact of the Company's operating on the community and the environment;
· the desirability of the Company maintaining a reputation for high standards of business conduct; and
· the need to act fairly between members of the Company.

In giving due regard to their section 172 duty the Directors are mindful of the Company's principal activities and its purpose and function with the business. The Directors are particularly focused on the impact of the Company's operations on its workforce, the community and the environment.

On an ongoing basis, the board assess the major risks affecting the Company and develop appropriate responses to address those risks in an efficient and effective manner. This is taken into consideration when setting objectives, budgets and forecasting financial performance. This ensures that the Company understands the financial impact of these risks and can respond to them on a timely basis.

Employees are a key to success of the business, and the Company engages with employees on a regular basis. Supervisor, site manager and Director meetings are held to cover a range of topics such as Health & Safety, financial performance, training and compliance. The Company monitors staff turnover and performance to understand staff progression within the business.

POLITICAL DONATIONS AND EXPENDITURE
All donations are non political donations.

STATEMENT OF DIRECTORS' RESPONSIBILITIES
The directors are responsible for preparing the 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 of the profit or loss of the company for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the directors are required to:

-select suitable accounting policies and 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 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 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 company's auditors are unaware, and each director has taken all the steps that he or she ought to have taken as a director in order to make himself or herself aware of any relevant audit information and to establish that the company's auditors are aware of that information.

The auditors, Tomkinson Teal (Lichfield) LLP, will be proposed for re-appointment at the forthcoming Annual General Meeting.

ON BEHALF OF THE BOARD:





J R Allsop - Director


3 July 2026

Report of the Independent Auditors to the Members of
Chris Allsop Metal Recycling Ltd

Opinion
We have audited the financial statements of Chris Allsop Metal Recycling Ltd (the 'company') for the year ended 31 March 2026 which comprise the Profit and Loss Account, Other Comprehensive Income, Balance Sheet, Statement of Changes in Equity, Cash Flow Statement and Notes to the 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 company's affairs as at 31 March 2026 and of its profit for the year then ended;
-have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice; and
-have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006.

Basis for opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors' 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 directors are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information in the 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.

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 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 Strategic Report and the Report of the Directors have been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements.

Report of the Independent Auditors to the Members of
Chris Allsop Metal Recycling Ltd


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 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, or returns adequate for our audit have not been received from branches not visited by us; or
- the financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns; or
- certain disclosures of directors' remuneration specified by law are not made; or
- we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit.

Responsibilities of directors
As explained more fully in the Statement of Directors' Responsibilities set out on page four, 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 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.

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:

Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design audit procedures in line with our responsibilities to detect material misstatements arising from irregularities, including fraud.The risk of not detecting a material misstatement due to fraud is higher than for one arising from error, as fraud may involve deliberate concealment, including collusion or misrepresentation. There are inherent limitations in an audit, and the further removed non-compliance is from the events and transactions reflected in the financial statements, the less likely it is that it will be detected.

As part of our audit, we obtained an understanding of the legal and regulatory framework applicable to the company and considered the risks of material misstatement arising from non-compliance. We discussed these risks within the engagement team and designed audit procedures accordingly.

Our procedures included enquiries of management and those charged with governance, review of relevant documentation, and testing of transactions where appropriate. We also addressed the risk of management override of controls by reviewing journal entries and accounting estimates for indicators of bias.

We are not responsible for preventing non-compliance and cannot be expected to detect non-compliance with all laws and regulations.

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.

Report of the Independent Auditors to the Members of
Chris Allsop Metal Recycling Ltd

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 Financial Statements
for the Year Ended 31 March 2026

1. STATUTORY INFORMATION

Chris Allsop Metal Recycling Ltd is a private company, limited by shares , registered in England and Wales. The company's registered number and registered office address can be found on the Company Information page.

The presentation currency of the financial statements is the Pound Sterling (£).


2. STATEMENT OF COMPLIANCE

These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Financial Reporting Standard 102 "The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland" and the Companies Act 2006.

3. ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of preparing the financial statements
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention.

Turnover
Turnover is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, excluding discounts, rebates, value added tax and other sales taxes.

Tangible fixed assets
Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off each asset over its estimated useful life or, if held under a finance lease, over the lease term, whichever is the shorter.
Freehold land & property - No depreciation
Plant and machinery - 33% on cost, 25% on cost, 20% on reducing balance, 20% on cost and 10% on cost
Fixtures and fittings - 33% on cost, 25% on cost, 20% on cost and 10% on cost
Motor vehicles - 25% on cost

No depreciation has been provided on the company's freehold properties in the opinion of the directors the expected useful life is sufficiently long and estimated residual values are sufficiently high that any such depreciation would be immaterial. The directors undertake an annual impairment review of these properties.

Stocks
Stocks are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value, after making due allowance for obsolete and slow moving items.

Taxation
Taxation for the year comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is recognised in the Profit and Loss Account, 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.

3. ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued

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
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 company operates a defined contribution pension scheme. Contributions payable to the company's pension scheme are charged to profit or loss in the period to which they relate.

Going concern
The Directors have considered going concern in preparing these financial statements through review of the Company's financial position. It has been considered that the Company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Accordingly, the going concern basis of accounting has been adopted and no material uncertainties have been identified.
