The directors present their strategic report for the year ended 31st December 2025.

The Company operates within the construction industry which comprises contracting and civil engineering, particularly the construction of roads, mains drainage, house foundations and external groundworks all mainly associated with the new housing market. The majority of the work is provided to blue chip house builders within the South-West of England and Wales.

REVIEW OF BUSINESS

The turnover is up by 7.0% this year, this reflecting decisions by the board of directors to increase its turnover capability in line with our strong management teams. This follows decisions in recent years to rein in turnover in order to deliver quality work on programme, the effect of this decision was to ensure that we continue to operate at a sustainable level. Adverse weather towards the end of the year also had a negative impact.

The Company continues to enjoy good relationships with its customers and has been successful in winning numerous new tenders, whilst maintaining a strong order book.

Given the continuing struggle of homebuilders to obtain planning permission and because of their holding back of land sites resulting in housing demand outstripping supply, high level of demand for the company's services is likely to continue for the next few years.

The continued availability of mortgages and the Government's intent to significantly up the number of new homes being built each year should ensure that there is no shortage of work, the only problem is the lack of resources to satisfy the Government's ambitious new policy.

The gross profit margin has risen to 11% in the current year from 9% last year. The Company has considered it has traded successfully throughout the year ending 31 December 2025.

The directors are satisfied to report an increased net profit of just over £1.047M before tax this year. The Company will continue to monitor its overheads and margins to achieve and maintain its profitability in the future, with particular emphasis on the more difficult winter months, November through February.

The Company invested over £1m in new plant and equipment during the year.

Management consider turnover and profit after tax to be the key financial performance indicators.

With regards to non-financial KPls the Company has maintained its customer base and has maintained the number of employees and made use of subcontractors to be more flexible for periods of trade. The Company is well placed for continued growth in the future.

PRINCIPAL RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES

Trading conditions have continued to gradually improve following uncertain times imposed by global political landscape swings in recent years. There has been steady growth and demand in the housing market that remains reasonably strong, although affordability remains an issue. The Government's drive for a significant increase in the number of new homes built every year will present the industry with a major challenge, given the lack of resources.

Although there are encouraging signs in base rent lending reducing, there are still some financial concerns about the base lending rate and what effect it would have on the mortgages and housing market following increases there is also uncertainty regarding the medium term impact on the economy and job market.

During the year there have been impacts on the supply chain which have resulted in increases in costs of labour, materials and consumables. Where possible the Company has sought and achieved increases in contract sums to mitigate this in line with the terms of the contracts.

With these risks and uncertainties, we are constantly aware of the need to review our future development plans of the business and these can be subject to unforeseen future events outside of our control.

However, the directors are confident of maintaining the gross profit margins and optimistic about the long term future of the Company due to the following: -

1) Lifetime ISA as an incentivised scheme for house purchasing.

2) Continued property buyers' confidence levels and increasing availability of low interest rate mortgage financing continues to support strong demand on property.

3) Continual ongoing review of the Company business strategy regularly to suit the rapid changing market conditions and to continue in reaping of benefits from the implemented cost control strategy in prior years.

4) Strong and long established relationships with major house builders.

SECTION 172(1) STATEMENT

The Directors believe that they have effectively implemented their duties under section 172 of the Companies Act 2006. The Company has considered the long-term strategy of the business below and consider that this strategy will continue to deliver long term success to the business and its stakeholders.

We have secured new work with inflationary compensation. We have also invested heavily to ensure we have the newest and most fuel efficient fleet of machinery and vehicles possible.

The Company is committed to maintaining an excellent reputation and strives to achieve high standards. We are highly selective about which co-contractors are used to deliver best value while maintaining an awareness of the environmental impact of the work that they do and strive to reduce their carbon footprint.

The Directors recognise the importance of wider stakeholders in delivering their strategy and achieving sustainability within the business. The main stakeholders in the Company are considered to be the employees, suppliers and customers. Their importance to the business is considered below.

In ensuring that all our stakeholders are considered as part of every decision process we believe we act fairly between all members of the Company.

Our highest key objective remains the preservation of our workforce both site and office based. The Health Safety and Wellbeing of our workforce is paramount.

Our supply chain remains robust, and we continue to nurture and maintain strong relations. We are even more focused on material management and look to rationalism the use of materials as much as possible. Material shortages are becoming less of a problem, but we remain focused on planning ahead to alleviate any impact extended lead times may present us.

We continue to focus on our impact to the environment, and this is even more pertinent with the increase in cost for energy supply across all groups. All vehicles and vans have been updated, and we have introduced more fully electric and hybrid vehicles into the fleet during the year.

Our business has a strong reputation in the market, and we will look to protect this and build on this in tandem with our workforce who are key in achieving this objective.

Acting in a fair and reasonable way is also key when we need to protect our workforce and act fairly between all members of the Company. We must aspire to be the preferred groundwork business in the South-West and our staff are key to us achieving and maintaining this.

AVAILABILITY OF RESOURCES

The industry is still suffering from a shortage of skilled labour. To address this, we have an extensive training program to ensure all our staff are fully trained on the work they perform. We also have a number of apprentices each year which will help address matters in the longer term. There have also been some supply chain issues which the Company has mitigated through its good relationships and a proactive approach to procurement.

COMPETITION

Competition has been reasonably unchanged but always remains a threat to winning new work. The Company manages these risks by maintaining and developing very good working relationship with its clients and continuing to produce work in a timely manner and to a high standard at a competitive price.

ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS

Medium sized companies are mandated to disclose energy and carbon information. The information included is disclosed as set out under the Streamlined Energy and Carbon Reporting Framework, detailed within the 2018 Regulation amendments of the Large and Medium-Sized Companies and Groups (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008.

Energy Efficiency commentary

The Company is aware that construction activities can have a seriously detrimental effect on the environment and has put in place a management system to minimise such effects.

The Company's systems are compliant. The Company has also introduced a number of initiatives to minimise building material, energy and office waste, including:

1) Car allowance policy which encourages staff to drive vehicles with lower CO2 emissions

2) The company has purchased a number of electric and hybrid vehicles during the year

3) Measures to minimise site waste, such as ensuring suitable storage space and facilities are available, rubbish is compacted in the skips, waste materials are recycled, and agreeing reduced material packaging with suppliers

4) Training of all site managers, project managers and selected staff on environmental awareness.

FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT

Exposure to credit and liquidity risks arise in the normal course of the Company's business. The Company does not have any derivative financial instruments.

The Company's credit risk is attributable to its trade receivables and amounts receivables on contracts. The amounts presented in the statement of financial position are net of any allowances for doubtful debtors, based upon prior experience and assessment of specific circumstances by the Directors. The Company does not have any significant concentration of credit risk, with exposure spread over a number of customers.

The Company seeks to manage risk to ensure that sufficient liquidity is available to meet foreseeable needs and to invest cash assets safely and profitably. Short term flexibility is achieved by the use of fixed and variable deposit accounts. The Directors prepare rolling cash flow forecasts to plan for future surpluses and expenditure.

ON BEHALF OF THE BOARD:

Mr C P Dowden - Director

27th July 2026

The directors present their report with the financial statements of the company for the year ended 31st December 2025.

PRINCIPAL ACTIVITY

The principal activity of the company in the year under review was that of builders and civil engineers. There have not been any changes in these activities in the year under review.

The directors are not aware, at the date of this report, of any likely changes in the company's activities in the next year.

DIVIDENDS

A dividend of £575,759 (2024 - £118,478) was paid in the year.

FUTURE DEVELOPMENTS

The Company intends to continue trading in its current form and there are no specific future developments. The directors have a positive outlook for the future.

Other changes in directors holding office are as follows:

Mr C N Blackmore - appointed 1st May 2025

Mr D Stamp - appointed 1st May 2025

Mr G Stamp - appointed 1st May 2025

GOING CONCERN

As at the current time the Company remains in a strong financial position, with a strong cash balance and improving trading reserves. The directors continue to monitor the increasing inflationary cost pressure currently being experienced in the UK.

The business continues to have access to its pre-existing bank facilities and the directors take further comfort from their long standing relationships with key customers and the underlying strength and robustness of the business that has weathered other financial downturns and competitive pressures before.

Due to the business' strong net asset position it retains the flexibility to obtain additional financing from multiple sources or further delay repayment of certain liabilities in the event that the impact of the coronavirus or any other economic factors is more prolonged or the financial impact more severe than originally forecast.

In the medium term the directors believe that the demand for the groundworking services the business provides will remain strong due to the continued housing developments in the south west.

On the basis of the forecasts completed and analysis, the directors remain confident that the Company will continue to be a going concern for a period of at least 12 months from the date of approving these financial statements. The accounts have accordingly been prepared on a going concern basis.

DONATIONS

The amount of charitable donations made during the year amounted to £42,094 (2024 - £39,580). The Company made no political donations in the current or preceding year.

DIVERSITY, INCLUSION & WELLBEING:

Through the application of the Company's Diversity and Inclusion Policy, the Company aims to ensure everyone is treated fairly and equitably. The Company uses regular communication and education to continuously build an inclusive culture amongst its workforce, minimising discrimination and promoting diversity including disability.

Applications for employment by disabled persons are considered fully, bearing in mind the aptitudes of the applicant concerned. In the event an employee becomes disabled, every effort is made to ensure that their employment with the Company continues and that appropriate adjustments are made. It is the policy of the Company that the training, career development and opportunity of disabled persons should, as far as possible, be identical with that of other employees.

ENGAGEMENT WITH EMPLOYEES

The Board of Directors regards employee engagement as a matter of great importance with many initiatives taking place during the year aimed at improving the Board's understanding of the employees' views and interests as well as improving the employees' understanding of the Company's performance.

We invest in training, coaching and skills acquisition to ensure the required knowledge and behaviours are aligned the Company's strategy and values as it is important for our employees to feel connected to the Company's purpose.

AUDITORS

The auditors, Dunkley's, will be proposed for re-appointment at the forthcoming Annual General Meeting.

ON BEHALF OF THE BOARD:

Mr C P Dowden - Director

27th July 2026

Opinion

We have audited the financial statements of Brandwells Construction Company Limited (the 'company') for the year ended 31st December 2025 which comprise the Statement of Comprehensive Income, Statement of Financial Position, Statement of Changes in Equity, Statement of Cash Flows and Notes to the Statement of Cash Flows, 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 31st December 2025 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.

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 pages eight and nine, 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:

Extent to which the audit was considered capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud

We identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, and then design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, including obtaining audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Identifying and assessing potential risks related to irregularities

In identifying and assessing risks of material misstatement in respect of irregularities, including fraud and non-compliance with laws and regulations, we considered the following:

- the nature of the industry and sector, control environment and business performance including the design of the company's remuneration policies, bonus levels and performance targets;

- any matters we identified, having obtained and reviewed the company's documentation of their policies and procedures relating to:

o identifying, evaluating and complying with laws and regulations and whether they were aware of any instances of non-compliance;

o detecting and responding to the risks of fraud and whether they have knowledge of any actual, suspected or alleged fraud;

o the internal controls established to mitigate risks of fraud or non-compliance with laws and regulations;

- the matters discussed among the audit engagement team regarding how and where fraud might occur in the financial statements and any potential indicators of fraud.

As a result of these procedures, we considered the opportunities and incentives that may exist within the organisation for fraud and identified the greatest potential for fraud in the areas of management override of controls, and revenue recognition.

We also obtained an understanding of the legal and regulatory framework that the company operates in, focusing on provisions of those laws and regulations that had a direct effect on the determination of material amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.

Audit response to risks identified

Our procedures to respond to risks identified included the following:

- enquiring of management, concerning actual and potential litigation and claims;

- performing analytical procedures to identify any unusual or unexpected relationships that may indicate risks of material misstatement due to fraud;

- in addressing the risk of fraud through management override of controls, testing the appropriateness of journal entries and other adjustments; assessing whether the judgements made in making accounting estimates are indicative of a potential bias; and evaluating the business rationale of any significant transactions that are unusual or outside the normal course of business.

We also communicated relevant identified laws and regulations and potential fraud risks to all engagement team members, and remained alert to any indications of fraud or non-compliance with laws and regulations throughout the audit.

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.

The financial statements are presented in £ sterling, which is the company's functional and presentation currency.

The financial statements have been prepared on the going concern basis. The directors have prepared forecasts and cash flow projections for a period of at least 12 months from the date of approval of these financial statements.

Financial Reporting Standard 102 - reduced disclosure exemptions

The company has taken advantage of the following disclosure exemptions in preparing these financial statements, as permitted by FRS 102 "The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland":

•

the requirement of paragraph 3.17(d);

•

the requirements of paragraphs 11.42, 11.44, 11.45, 11.47, 11.48(a)(iii), 11.48(a)(iv), 11.48(b) and 11.48(c);

Significant judgements and estimates

The preparation of financial statements requires the company to make estimates and assumptions that affect the application of policies and reported amounts. Estimates and judgements are continually evaluated and are based on historic experience and other factors including expectations of future events and believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from these estimates. The estimates and assumptions which have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amount of assets and liabilities as outlined below:

1) Revenue and margin recognition:

The company's revenue recognition requires forecasts to be made on the outcome of long-term construction services contracts, which require assessment and judgements to be made on recovery of pre-contract costs, changes in the scope of work, contract programmes, defects and changes in costs.

2) Provisions:

Provisions are recognised when the company has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of a past event, and it is probable that the company will be required to settle that obligation. Provisions are measured at the Directors' best estimate of the expenditure required to settle the obligation at the balance sheet date and are discounted to present value where the effect is material.

Turnover and revenue recognition

Revenue is measured based on the consideration specified in a contract with a customer. When consideration is not specified within the contract and therefore subject to variability, the company estimates the amount of consideration to be received from its customer. The consideration recognised is the amount which is highly probably not to result in a significant reversal in future period.

Where a modification to an existing contract occurs, the company assesses the nature of the modification and whether it represents a separate performance obligation required to be satisfied by the company or whether it is a modification to the existing performance obligation.

The amount by which turnover is in excess of payments on account has been classified as amounts

recoverable on contracts and included in debtors.

When it is probable that total contract costs will exceed total contract revenue, the expected loss is expensed immediately, with a corresponding provision for an onerous contract being recognised.

The attributable profit on long-term contracts is recognised once their outcome can be assessed with reasonable certainty. The profit recognised reflects the proportion of work completed to date on the project.

Costs associated with long-term contracts are included in work in progress to the extent that they cannot be matched with contract work accounted for as turnover. Long-term contract balances included in work in progress are stated at cost, after provision has been made for any foreseeable losses and deduction of applicable payments on account.

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.
