| KEY ACHIEVEMENTS |
| 40th Anniversary |
| 2025 marked the year Michael Smith Switchgear Limited (MSSL) celebrated 40 years of trading. We're proud of our craftmanship and attention to detail which has been the foundation to our reputation and strong performance of the past 40 years. Today, the same values guide us in delivering modern, sustainable low voltage switchgear solutions across the UK. |
| RoSPA Gold Medal Award for Health and Safety Excellence |
| We are proud to report that Michael Smith Switchgear Limited (MSSL), for the 9th year running, has received the prestigious RoSPA Gold Medal Award 2025, recognising our sustained commitment to health and safety. This award is a testament to the Group's strong safety culture, robust risk management processes, and continued investment in staff training and wellbeing initiatives. |
| ISO Accreditations |
| Our integrated management system continues to be certified to the following ISO standards: |
| - ISO 9001 - Quality Management |
| - ISO 14001 - Environmental Management |
| - ISO 45001 - Occupational Health and Safety |
| - ISO 45003 - Psychological Health and Safety in the Workplace |
| These certifications underpin our commitment to operational excellence, employee wellbeing, and environmental stewardship, reinforcing stakeholder confidence and ensuring that the Group operates in line with best practices. |
| Carbon Neutral Business & CO2 Reduction |
| In line with our sustainability objectives, we are pleased to confirm that the Group has achieved Carbon Neutral status for the fourth consecutive year. Since 2018, we have successfully reduced our CO2 emissions by over 60%, achieved through a combination of energy efficiency measures, investment in renewable energy, supply chain optimisation, carbon offsetting initiatives and research and development projects. This achievement reflects our proactive approach to environmental responsibility and supports our long-term net zero ambitions. |
| The King's Award for Sustainable Development |
| Michael Smith Switchgear was one of just 27 organisations to be honoured to receive The King's Award for Enterprise in Sustainable Development. This accolade recognises the Group's outstanding commitment to sustainable business practices, including resource efficiency, social responsibility, and environmental innovation. The award not only highlights our leadership in the low voltage switchgear industry but also validates our strategic direction in promoting long-term sustainability. |
| BEAMA Safety Campaign |
| Michael Smith Switchgear were proud to join BEAMA in highlighting the dangers of non-complaint switchboards, ensuring that the industry standards define good practice and confirm with safety requirements. |
| Strategic Partnerships |
| We were delighted to Partner with a leading specialist in AI-powered critical communications environments, where we supplied the low voltage switchgear to meet the soaring demand for AI infrastructure. We've seen a dramatic increase in our work on data centres and MSSL's control equipment is required to meet huge demand for secure, scalable, and eco-conscious modular AI infrastructure in the UK and Europe. |
| MARKET COMMENTARY |
| We are in the turn of the electrification era. The current demand on electrification and the growth and dependence on data centres and AI has vastly increased the demand for LV Switchgear assemblies. Whilst striving for carbon reduction initiatives and increasing the demand on the electricity networks MSSL are very well placed as the leading manufacturer of LV Switchgear assemblies and the only switchgear manufacturer that is carbon neutral. Business opportunities exist through further design verification testing to the British Standard BS EN IEC 61439-2:2021 using alternative device manufacturers to create other market openings. |
| RESULTS FOR THE YEAR |
| The Group achieved an operating profit of £1,362,697 (2024: £1,723,486) and a profit before tax of £1,361,250 (2024: £1,705,770). |
| S & E Group Management Limited (Registered number: 08708231) |
| Group Strategic Report |
| for the Year Ended 31 December 2025 |
| This year saw the businesses focus more on improving efficiency rather than setting financial targets, meaning we were able to focus on staff recruitment, retention, and training, as well as reviewing internal procedures to ensure continued improvement of efficiency in all aspects of the business, from quoting all the way to completion of products and delivery. This is reflected in the decrease in turnover and profits in 2025. |
| Our strengths lay in our in-house expertise and craftmanship, as well as having a turnkey offering to our customers, therefore strengthening our relationships with key stakeholders. Rising costs remain a key challenge with ever increasing price changes in the supply chain, as well as National Minimum Wage rises and increases in raw materials such as Copper due to being in an electrification era. We monitor cost rises closely and adapt our pricing structure to our customers regularly. |
| The political landscape remains a huge challenge for all businesses and the Directors regularly review these impacts with industry bodies such as BEAMA and Make UK to ensure we are mitigating any risks as best and as quickly as possible. |
| PRINCIPAL RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES |
| The Directors constantly review the risks and uncertainties in the market place and at entity level. The company operates in a specialist market which is affected by the risks of the wider economy. The Directors are focussed on good cash management to ensure that the company is in a strong position to gain market share in the future. |
| FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT |
| The group's operations expose it to a variety of financial risks that include the effects of price risk, credit risk, liquidity risk and cash flow risk. |
| The group has defined policies and procedures which set out specific guidelines to manage price risk, credit risk, liquidity risk and cash flow risk and the circumstances when it would be appropriate to use financial instruments to manage these. |
| The directors hold regular monthly meetings to discuss the current and future financial risk facing the company and seek to ensure that appropriate decisions are made based on the market and business information available. |
| PRICE RISK |
| This arises on inventory purchases but the company aims to minimise risk through holding as little stock as possible, monitoring stock turn and reviewing prices regularly. |
| CREDIT RISK |
| This is the risk that one party to a financial instrument will cause a financial loss for that other party by failing to discharge an obligation. The group's credit policies aim to avoid this within its operations via the continuous monitoring of credit limits. |
| LIQUIDITY RISK |
| This arises when an entity encounters difficulty in meeting obligations. The group aims to mitigate risk by focussing on its working capital cycle and working to continuously reduce debtor and inventory days. |
| CASH FLOW RISK |
| This is the risk of exposure to variability in cash flows that is attributable to a particular risk associated with a recognised asset or liability. The group manages this risk through effective working capital management. |
| ENGAGEMENT WITH EMPLOYEES |
| During the year, the directors have sought to keep employees updated on the group's strategy, performance and future objectives and employees have been informally consulted on decisions that affect them. |
| KEY PERFORMANCE INDICATORS |
| The Group's key performance indicators during the period were as follows: |

| DIRECTORS |
| The directors shown below have held office during the whole of the period from 1 January 2025 to the date of this report. |
| GOING CONCERN |
| The directors constantly review and assess the risks and uncertainties in the market place, across the group and at a company level. |
| After considering the financial position of the group and company at the time of approving the financial statements, the directors have a reasonable expectation that the group and company have adequate resources to continue their operations for the foreseeable future. Accordingly, the directors continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements. |
| DISCLOSURE IN THE STRATEGIC REPORT |
| As permitted by Paragraph 1A of Schedule 7 to the Large and Medium Sized Companies and Groups (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008, certain matters which are required to be disclosed in he Directors' Report have been omitted as they are included in the Strategic Report. These matters relate to the future developments of the company, employee information, research and development and financial risk management. |
| STATEMENT OF DIRECTORS' RESPONSIBILITIES |
| The directors are responsible for preparing the Group Strategic Report, the Report of the Directors and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and regulations. |
| Company law requires the directors to prepare financial statements for each financial year. Under that law the directors have elected to prepare the financial statements in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice (United Kingdom Accounting Standards and applicable law). Under company law the directors must not approve the financial statements unless they are satisfied that they give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the company and the group and of the profit or loss of the group for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the directors are required to: |
| - | select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently; |
| - | make judgements and accounting estimates that are reasonable and prudent; |
| - | prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the company will continue in business. |
| The directors are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that are sufficient to show and explain the company's and the group's transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the company and the group and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the company and the group and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities. |
| S & E Group Management Limited (Registered number: 08708231) |
| Report of the Directors |
| for the Year Ended 31 December 2025 |
| STATEMENT AS TO DISCLOSURE OF INFORMATION TO AUDITORS |
| So far as the directors are aware, there is no relevant audit information (as defined by Section 418 of the Companies Act 2006) of which the group's auditors are unaware, and each director has taken all the steps that he 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 group's auditors are aware of that information. |
| AUDITORS |
| The auditors, Hancock & Hastings Limited, will be proposed for re-appointment at the forthcoming Annual General Meeting. |
| ON BEHALF OF THE BOARD: |
| Report of the Independent Auditors to the Members of |
| S & E Group Management Limited |
| Opinion |
| We have audited the financial statements of S & E Group Management Limited (the parent company) and its subsidiaries (together, the Group) for the year ended 31 December 2025, which comprise the consolidated profit and loss account, the consolidated balance sheet, the parent company balance sheet, the consolidated statement of changes in equity, the parent company statement of changes in equity, the consolidated cash flow statement, and the related 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 FRS 102 - The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland. |
| In our opinion, the financial statements: |
| o give a true and fair view of the state of the Group's and of the parent company's affairs as at 31 December 2025 and of the Group's profit for the year then ended; |
| o have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice; and |
| o 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's responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the Group and the parent 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 Group's or the parent company's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from the date when the financial statements are authorised for issue. |
| 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. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and 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 the audit: |
| o the information given in the strategic report and the directors' report for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements; and |
| o the strategic report and the directors' report have been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements |
| Matters on which we are required to report by exception |
| In the light of the knowledge and understanding of the group and parent company and their 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: |
| o adequate accounting records have not been kept by the parent company, or returns adequate for our audit have not been received from branches not visited by us; or |
| o the parent company financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns; or |
| o certain disclosures of directors' remuneration specified by law are not made; or |
| o we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit. |
| Responsibilities of directors |
| As explained more fully in the directors' responsibilities statement set out on page 2, 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 and parent company's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the directors either intend to liquidate the group or the parent company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so. |
| Report of the Independent Auditors to the Members of |
| S & E Group Management Limited |
| Auditors' responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements |
| We obtained a general understanding of the legal and regulatory framework applicable to the entity through enquiry and discussion with management concerning their understanding of relevant laws and regulations, and the entity's policies and procedures regarding compliance, and through our understanding of the company's industry and regulations. These included but were not limited to compliance with Companies Act 2006 and FRS 102. |
| We designed audit procedures to respond to the risk, recognizing that the risk of not detecting a material misstatement due to fraud is higher than the risk of not detecting one resulting from error, as fraud may involve deliberate concealment. |
| We focused on laws and regulations that could give rise to a material misstatement in the financial statements. Our tests included, but were not limited to: |
| o Inquiring of management and, where appropriate, those charged with governance, as to whether the company is in compliance with laws and regulations, and discussing their policies and procedures regarding compliance with laws and regulations; |
| o Inspecting correspondence, if any, with relevant licensing or regulatory authorities; |
| o Communicating identified laws and regulations to the engagement team and remaining alert to any indications of non- compliance throughout our audit; |
| o Review of minutes of board meetings throughout the period; and |
| o Considering the risk of acts by the company which were contrary to applicable laws and regulations, including fraud. |
| In addition, we evaluated the directors' and management's incentives and opportunities for fraudulent manipulation of the financial statements, including the risk of management override of controls, and determined that the principal risks related to: posting manual journal entries to manipulate financial performance, management bias through judgements and assumptions in significant accounting estimates, in particular in relation to revenue recognition (which we pinpointed to the completeness assertion), and significant one-off or unusual transactions. |
| Our audit procedures in relation to fraud included but were not limited to: |
| o Making enquiries of the directors and management on whether they had knowledge of any actual, suspected or alleged fraud; |
| o Gaining an understanding of the internal controls established to mitigate risks related to fraud; |
| o Discussing amongst the engagement team the risks of fraud; and |
| o Addressing the risks of fraud through management override of controls by performing journal entry testing |
| There are inherent limitations in the audit procedures described above and the primary responsibility for the prevention and detection of irregularities including fraud rests with management. As with any audit, there remained a risk of non-detection of irregularities, as these may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations or the override of internal controls. |
| 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 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. |

| Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements |
| for the Year Ended 31 December 2025 |
| 1. | STATUTORY INFORMATION |
| S & E Group Management Limited is a |
| The presentation currency of the financial statements is the Pound Sterling (£). |
| 2. | ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
| Basis of preparing the financial statements |
| The financial statements have been rounded to the nearest Pound. |
| Basis of consolidation |
| The consolidated financial statements incorporate the financial statements of the company and all group undertakings. These are adjusted, where appropriate, to conform to group accounting policies. |
| Going concern |
| The directors constantly review and assess the risks and uncertainties in the market place, across the group and at a company level. |
| After considering the financial position of the group and company at the time of approving the financial statements, the directors have a reasonable expectation that the group and company have adequate resources to continue their operations for the foreseeable future. Accordingly, the directors continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements. |
| Significant judgements and estimates |
| The preparation of the financial statements requires the directors to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the balance sheet date and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the period. Actual results in the future could differ from those estimates. In this regard, the directors consider that there are no critical accounting policies where judgements or estimations are applied in these financial statements. |
| Turnover |
| Turnover is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, excluding discounts, rebates, value added tax and other sales taxes. |
| Turnover from the sale of goods is recognised when the significant risks and rewards of ownership of the goods has transferred to the buyer. This is usually at the point that the customer has signed for the delivery of the goods. |
| Sale of goods |
| Turnover from the sale of goods is recognised when the significant risks and rewards of ownership of the goods has transferred to the buyer. This is usually at the point that the customer has signed for the delivery of the goods. |
| Tangible fixed assets |
| Improvements to property | - |
| Plant and machinery | - |
| Fixtures and fittings | - |
| Motor vehicles | - |
| Computer equipment | - |
| Tangible fixed assets are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses. |
| Freehold property is stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses. Land is not depreciated. Buildings are depreciated over their estimated useful economic lives. |
| A review for indicators of impairment is carried out at each reporting date, with the recoverable amount being estimated where such indicators exist. Where the carrying value exceeds the recoverable amount, the asset is impaired accordingly. Prior impairments are also reviewed for possible reversal at each reporting date. |

| 2. | ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued |
| Government grants |
| Government grants are recognised in income over the periods in which the entity recognises the related costs for which the grant compensates. |
| Stocks |
| Stocks and work in progress are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value, after making due allowance for obsolete and slow moving items. |
| Cost is calculated using the first-in, first-out method and includes all purchase, transport, and handling costs in bringing stocks to their present location and condition. |
| Financial instruments |
| The Company only enters into basic financial instrument transactions that result in the recognition of financial |
| assets and liabilities like trade and other debtors and creditors, loans from banks and other third parties and |
| loans to related parties. |
| Debt instruments (other than those wholly repayable or receivable within one year), including loans and other |
| accounts receivable and payable, are initially measured at present value of the future cash flows and subsequently at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Debt instruments that are payable or receivable within one year, typically trade debtors and creditors, are measured, initially and subsequently, at the undiscounted amount of the cash or other consideration expected to be paid or received. However, if the arrangements of a short-term instrument constitute a financing transaction, like the payment of a trade debt deferred beyond normal business terms or in case of an out-right short-term loan that is not at market rate, the financial asset or liability is measured initially at the present value of future cash flows discounted at a market rate of interest for a similar debt instrument and subsequently at amortised cost, unless it qualifies as a loan from a Director in the case of a small company or a public benefit entity concessionary loan. |
| Financial assets that are measured at cost and amortised cost are assessed at the end of each reporting period for objective evidence of impairment. If objective evidence of impairment is found, an impairment loss is recognised in the Statement of Comprehensive Income. |
| For financial assets measured at amortised cost, the impairment loss is measured as the difference between an asset's carrying amount and the present value of estimated cash flows discounted at the asset's original effective interest rate. If a financial asset has a variable interest rate, the discount rate for measuring any impairment loss is the current effective interest rate determined under contract. |
| For financial assets measured at cost less impairment, the impairment loss is measured as the difference |
| between an asset's carrying amount and best estimate of the recoverable amount, which is an approximation of the amount that the Company would receive for the asset if it were to be sold at the reporting date. |
| Financial assets and liabilities are offset and the net amount reported in the balance sheet when there is an 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. |
| Taxation |
| Taxation for the year comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is recognised in the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income, 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. |

| 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 |
| Rentals paid under operating leases are charged to profit or loss on a straight line basis over the period of the lease. |
