Strategic Report |
for the year ended 30th April 2022 |
|
|
The directors present their strategic report for the year ended 30th April 2022. |
|
The historic principal activity of the company continues to be that of waste processing and recycling. |
|
The Directors are pleased to report the recent consolidation of the company, together with all associated sister companies, within the Whitehair Group Limited during the financial year. The formation of Whitehair Group Limited results in bringing together all current operations relating to waste processing, recycling and waste transportation within the one group. |
|
The core activities of the company include collecting waste from private households and businesses in the local area, organising the transportation of commercial waste via our sister company Waste-A-Away Recycling, and bringing it to our recycling facility on the Burnt Mills Industrial Estate where we treat locally generated waste every year. |
|
The Board is committed to continuing to invest in waste processing capacity such that the company can maximise the levels of waste recycling undertaken and thus reduce the amount of waste that has to be delivered to landfill. |
|
With the easing of lockdown restrictions following the Covid 19 Pandemic commercial waste being generated has returned to normal pre pandemic levels. This has led to a recovery on sales undertaken through contracts with our sister company Waste-A-Way Recycling Limited. This resulted in a 70% increase in sales in this area in the reporting year. Sales are reported as surpassing pre-Covid 19 activity by 11%. |
|
This increase in sales however was in part offset by a 5% decrease in skip sale revenue, with further improved trading activity generated by a 47% increase in the processing of bulk waste. Skip sales were particularly high during Covid restrictions due to demand as people undertook home projects and so it was expected to see a slight fall in this area. Bulk Waste Sales continues strong growth all be it at a slower level than seen in prior year with a 47% increase reflecting the ongoing growth in processing capability within the business. |
|
The overall impact of the above upon reported turnover was an increase of 51.63%. |
|
With a determination for the business to continue to grow out of the Covid period, the directors launched a number of commercial activities to address both business development and cost control. |
|
With respect to business development, in the longer term and in order to support the commitment to reducing the level of untreated waste being delivered to landfill, Clearaway is looking to build an Energy Recovery Facility (ERF) next to our existing recycling facility on the Burnt Mills Industrial Estate, Archers Fields in Basildon. |
|
The ERF will help to tackle two problems facing society - how to sustainably manage the waste we produce and how to create secure, low carbon sources of energy. The ERF is being designed to take the waste that already comes to the Clearaway recycling facility, which means there will be no additional deliveries and, by processing waste left over after the commercial recycling processes have been exhausted, we will be able to significantly reduce the amount of waste which is currently transported on local roads to North Essex for disposal in landfill. |
|
For the year ending April 2022, the company has continued to invest in new and improved waste processing plant with total investment in new assets of around £1,400,000. |
|
Principal risks that the business faces relate to ensuring we keep up to date and comply with the laws and regulations relating to waste processing and operating within authorised tonnage limits. The directors continue to oversee and monitor this area in detail ensuring compliance with all requirements and maintaining up to date knowledge to ensure compliance. The directors are pleased to report no issues in relation to this area of the business. |
|
With greater visibility comes greater accountability, and the directors are determined to deliver progressive practices which promote the company's environmental and social value credentials and its role in the community. |

|
Strategic Report |
for the year ended 30th April 2022 |
|
By the end of the financial year, the full management team utilised electric vehicles and a switch to renewable energy will follow shortly. Clearaway provides high quality jobs to the local communities from which it operates and it will be improving its engagement with young people to promote careers in waste management through new work experience placements. |
|
The company is committed under the leadership of the director team to continue to create a more sustainable future for Essex. |

DIRECTORS |
The directors shown below have held office during the whole of the period from 1st May 2021 to the date of this report. |
|
|
|
|
STATEMENT OF DIRECTORS' RESPONSIBILITIES |
The directors are responsible for preparing the Annual Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and regulations. |
|
Company law requires the directors to prepare financial statements for each financial year. Under that law the directors have elected to prepare the financial statements in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice (United Kingdom Accounting Standards and applicable law). Under company law the directors must not approve the financial statements unless they are satisfied that they give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the 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 judgments and accounting estimates that are reasonable and prudent |
- state whether applicable UK Accounting Standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements |
- 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. |
|
AUDITORS |
The auditors, Barrons Limited, will be proposed for re-appointment at the forthcoming Annual General Meeting. |

Report of the Independent Auditors to the Members of |
Clearaway Recycling Limited |
|
|
Opinion |
We have audited the financial statements of Clearaway Recycling Limited (the 'company') for the year ended 30th April 2022 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 30th April 2022 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 |
Clearaway Recycling 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 |
Clearaway Recycling 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: |
|
Discussions with and enquiries of management and those charged with governance were held with a view to identifying those laws and regulations that could be expected to have a material impact on the financial statements. During the engagement team briefing, the outcomes of these discussions and enquiries were shared with the team, as well as consideration as to where and how fraud may occur in the entity. |
|
The following laws and regulations were identified as being of significance to the entity: |
|
- Those laws and regulations considered to have a direct effect on the financial statements include UK financial reporting standards, Company Law, Tax and Pensions legislation, and distributable profits legislation. |
|
- Those laws and regulations for which non-compliance may be fundamental to the operating aspects of the business and therefore may have a material effect on the financial statements include, licencing requirements, environmental regulations, health and safety legislation. |
|
Audit procedures undertaken in response to the potential risks relating to irregularities (which include fraud and non-compliance with laws and regulations) comprised of: inquiries of management and those charged with governance as to whether the entity complies with such laws and regulations; enquiries with the same concerning any actual or potential litigation or claims; inspection of relevant legal correspondence; testing the appropriateness of journal entries; and the performance of analytical review to identify unexpected movements in account balances which may be indicative of fraud. |
|
No instances of material non-compliance were identified. However, the likelihood of detecting irregularities, including fraud, is limited by the inherent difficulty in detecting irregularities, the effectiveness of the entity's controls, and the nature, timing and extent of the audit procedures performed. Irregularities that result from fraud might be inherently more difficult to detect than irregularities that result from error. As explained above, there is an unavoidable risk that material misstatements may not be detected, even though the audit has been planned and performed in accordance with ISAs (UK). |
|
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. |

|
Basis of preparing the financial statements |
|
|
Significant judgements and estimates |
In the application of the company's accounting policies, which are described in note 2, the directors are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates. |
|
The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods. |
|
Turnover |
The turnover is measured as the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, excluding discounts, rebates, value added tax and other sales taxes. The following criteria must also be met before the revenue is recognised: |
|
Sale of goods |
Revenue from the sale of goods is recognised when all of the following conditions are satisfied: |
- | the Company has transferred the significant risks and rewards of ownership to the buyer; |
- | the Company retains neither continuing managerial involvement to the degree usually associated with ownership nor effective control over the goods sold; |
- | the amount of revenue can be measured reliably; |
- | it is probable that the Company will receive the consideration due under the transaction; and |
- | the costs incurred or to be incurred in respect of the transaction can be measured reliably. |
|
Rendering of services |
Revenue from a contract to provide services is recognised in the period in which the services are provided in accordance with the stage of completion of the contract when all of the following conditions are satisfied: |
- | the amount of revenue can be measured reliably; |
- | it is probable that the Company will receive the consideration due under the contract; |
- | the stage of completion of the contract at the end of the reporting period can be measured reliably; and |
- | the costs incurred and the costs to complete the contract can be measured reliably. |
|
Other income |
Due to the Covid-19 pandemic and the closure of businesses under UK Government legislation, the business utilised the Government support scheme: the furlough scheme whereby the Government contributed towards the wage cost of the business. The amounts received are reported under other income in the financial statements. The income is reported in the period that the relief relates to. |

Notes to the Financial Statements - continued |

|
|
2. | ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued |
|
Tangible fixed assets |
Tangible fixed assets are stated at historical cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses. Historical cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to bringing the asset to the location and condition necessary for it to be capable of operating in the manner intended by management. |
|
Depreciation is charged so as to allocate the cost of assets less residual value over their estimated useful lives, using either a straight line or reducing balance method, as indicated below. |
|
Depreciation is provided on the following basis: |
|
Short leasehold | - No charge |
Plant and machinery | - 20% Reducing balance |
Motor vehicles | - 20% Reducing balance and 20% Straight line |
Computer equipment | - 25% Straight line |
|
Land is not depreciated and no depreciation is charged on the leasehold property because any such charge would be immaterial due to the high residual value. |
|
The asset's residual values, useful lives and depreciation methods are reviewed, and adjusted prospectively if appropriate, or if there is an indication of a significant change since the last reporting date. |
|
Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing the proceeds with the carrying amount and are recognised in profit or loss. |
|
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. |
|
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 the profit and loss account over the relevant period. The capital element of the future payments is treated as a liability. |

|
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. |
|
Government grants |
Government grants are recognised at the fair value of the asset received or receivable when there is reasonable assurance that the grant conditions will be met and the grants received. |
|
A grant that specifies performance conditions is recognised in income when the performance conditions are met. Where a grant does not specify performance conditions it is recognised in income when the proceeds are received or receivable. A grant received before the recognition criteria are satisfied is recognised as a liability. |
|
Financial instruments |
The Company only enters into basic financial instruments 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, loans to related parties and investments in non-puttable ordinary shares. |
|
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 profit and loss. |
|
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. |
|
Debtors |
Basic financial assets, including trade and other debtors, 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. Such assets are subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less any impairment. |
|
Creditors |
Basic financial liabilities, including trade and other creditors, loans from third parties and loans from related parties, are initially recognised at transaction price, unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the debt instrument is measured at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest. Such instruments are subsequently carried at amortised cost using effective interest method, less any impairment. |
|
Cash and cash equivalents |
