Strategic Report |
for the year ended 31 December 2021 |
|
|
The directors present their strategic report for the year ended 31 December 2021. |
|
REVIEW OF BUSINESS |
During the year the company invested in additional new and second-hand assets, increasing its main fixed assets to enable the company to expand the business in both sales and maintenance services. |
|
The result for the Company shows a pre-tax profit of £783,839 (2020: loss £52,636) for the year and turnover of £13,313,692. Revenue has increased from £9,257,028 to £13,313,692 million after an increase in trade following the reduction in the early stages of the COVID-19 world pandemic outbreak. |
|
The Company has net assets of £4,284,437 million (2020: £3,654,933). |
|
PRINCIPAL RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES |
The management of the business and the execution of the company's strategy are subject to a number of risks. The key business risks and uncertainties affecting the company are considered to relate to Brexit, COVID-19, competition from UK and overseas, and the current economic uncertainty leading to delay in investment decisions from customers. A comprehensive product offering, highest levels of service, a broad network of support services and a wide range of trailers and industry leading IT are the key elements. |
|
The company is exposed to market risk, credit risk, and liquidity risk. Market risk consists of interest rate risk and foreign currency risk. Credit risk impact mitigates using number of resources to evaluate customers, including local credit rating agencies from our competitors. The Company monitors the risk of funds shortage using cash forecasting models. |
|
On 11 March 2020 the world health association declared the COVID-19 outbreak a world pandemic. As a result, many economic sectors are currently seeing a substantial negative impact. The effect of this pandemic is still being determined but has include impacts on the business such as variable sales patterns. We feel confident that the business priorities and plans respond to the prevailing consumer and customer needs and trends, including how the markets are expected to be affected by general economic activity and consumer sentiment. |
|
The company has successfully managed the Brexit transition with little disruption to the supply chain and most customers operating solely within the UK and Ireland remain largely unaffected. |
|
The company has proven that its business model is resilient, and it can remain profitable even during a glob-al economic downturn. We will maintain preventative measures as long as the COVID-19 situation requires it, and will continue to prioritise the health of our employees, customers and society first. Although we saw stronger than expected business during 2021, we expect economic pressure to continue through to mid-2022. As uncertainty decreases, we expect to see improved sales business, in addition to benefits to our maintenance and repair business. |

Strategic Report |
for the year ended 31 December 2021 |
|
KEY PERFORMANCE INDICATORS |
The company's key performance indicators grew compared to the previous period. We continue to see good demand for Sales and repair services in an uncertain environment. We finish 2021 cautiously positive but ready to flex both our capex and acquisition investments to any sudden economic and market shifts. Overall, we anticipate that investment in road freight equipment will re-main solid, benefiting our sales and repair business. Increased volume of idle equipment waiting to clear customs in the UK/Ireland and Continental ports should help to increase demand for trailers and partially compensate for any reduced trade flows between the UK/Ireland and the Continent. |
|
Performance during the year is set out in the table below: |
|
Indicator | 2021 | 2020 | Commentary |
Turnover (£m) | 13.3 | 9.3 |
The increase compared to the previous year is due to an increase in the
number of tankers sold. |
|
Gross margin (%) | 10.6 | 5.3 |
Gross margin is calculated as the ratio of gross profit expressed as a
percentage of sales. The increase in gross margin compared to the previous year was driven by increased demand for new tankers following the recovery from the first phase of covid lockdowns. We also benefited from foreign currency exchange rate. Gross margin also improved as a result of focus on workshop operating procedures and cost reduction. |
|
FUTURE OUTLOOK |
The external commercial environment is expected to remain challenging in 2022. However, with our additional innovative products offerings and high-quality service levels, we are confident that we will be in a strong position to improve performance as the market continues to recover. |
|
RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT |
The Company continues to invest in modern fleet units. The directors regard the investment in research and development as integral to the continuing success of the business. |

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), including Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland'. 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 ought to have taken as a director in order to make himself aware of any relevant audit information and to establish that the company's auditors are aware of that information. |

|
Report of the Independent Auditors to the Members of |
Williams Tanker Services Limited |
|
|
Opinion |
We have audited the financial statements of Williams Tanker Services Limited (the 'company') for the year ended 31 December 2021 which comprise the Income Statement, Other Comprehensive Income, Balance Sheet, Statement of Changes in Equity 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 company's affairs as at 31 December 2021 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 |
Williams Tanker Services Limited |
|
|
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. |
Report of the Independent Auditors to the Members of |
Williams Tanker Services Limited |
|
|
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: |
|
Our approach to identifying and assessing the risks of material misstatements 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 the Directors and other informed
management which we considered may have a direct material effect on the financial statements or the operations of the company and thereafter, the audit 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; |
- |
in assessing the effectiveness of the control environment, we also reviewed significant correspondence between the
company and UK regulatory bodies, reviewed minutes of meetings and gained an understanding of the company's approach to governance. |
|
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. |
|
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; |
- | enquiring of management as to actual and potential litigation and claims and reviewing correspondence with HMRC. |
|
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 Report of the Auditors. |
Report of the Independent Auditors to the Members of |
Williams Tanker Services Limited |
|
|
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. |

|
|
1. | STATUTORY INFORMATION |

The company's registered number and registered office address can be found on the Company Information page. The company's principal place of business is Howley Park Road East, Morley, Leeds, West Yorkshire, LS27 0SW. |
|
The functional and presentation currency for the company is the pound sterling (£). All financial information presented has been rounded to the nearest (£), unless otherwise stated. |
|
2. | ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
|
Basis of preparing the financial statements |
|
|
Going concern |
Taking account of any reasonably possible changes in trading performance, the directors have prepared forecasts covering a period of at least 12 months from the date of approval of the financial statements and these indicate that the company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for a period of at least that period. Accordingly, they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the annual report and financial statements. |
|
Financial Reporting Standard 102 - reduced disclosure exemptions |
The company has taken advantage of the following disclosure exemption in preparing these financial statements, as permitted by FRS 102 "The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland": |
|
• | the requirements of Section 7 Statement of Cash Flows. |
|
Significant judgements and estimates |
Preparation of the financial statements requires management to make significant judgements and estimates. Estimates and Judgements are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. The items in the financial statements where these judgements and estimates have been made include: |
|
(i) Useful economic lives of tangible assets |
The annual amortisation and depreciation charges for intangible and tangible fixed assets is sensitive to changes in the estimated useful lives and residual values of the assets. The 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. |
|
(ii) Stock provisions |
When calculating the stock provisions, management considers the nature and condition of the stock, as well as applying assumptions around anticipated saleability. |
|
(iii) Impairment of debtors |
The company 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. |

|
Plant and machinery | - |
|
Fixtures and fittings | - |
|
Motor vehicles | - |
|
|
Fixed assets are initially recorded at cost. |
|
Government grants |
Grants received in relation to the Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme are accounted for as they fall due and are included within other operating income. |
|
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 has chosen to adopt the Sections 11 and 12 of FRS 102 in respect of financial instruments. |
|
Financial assets |
Basic financial assets, including trade and other debtors and cash and bank balances are initially recognised at transaction price, unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the transaction is measured at the present value of the future receipts discounted at a market rate of interest. |
|
The company has no 'Other financial assets'. |
|

|
Taxation |
Taxation for the year comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is recognised in the Income Statement, 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 or matching forward contract rate where relevant. 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. |
