STRATEGIC REPORT
for the year ended 31 March 2020

The directors present their strategic report for the year ended 31 March 2020.

1.0 Executive Summary
Premier Partnership is proud of its long-term success of providing learning and development to the public sector for
over 25 years. It has a strong pedigree in the delivery of learning that develops and enhances employee skills,
ultimately improving organisational productivity.
We have experienced overall growth of new clients through the provision of Managed Service Services and we
continue to be the provider of choice for DWP Work Coach qualifications

We have been awarded the outstanding learning provider of the year by the Chartered Management Institute and
have been finalists in the CiPD learning provider awards.
The website provides an invaluable insight into our products, clients and opportunities.

2.0 Review of 2019 - 2020

2.1 Sales
Sales increased by 10.65% despite the termination of the large civil service apprenticeship contract in November
2018. We acquired three new large managed training service contracts and 11 clients renewed or extended their
contracts providing an element of income certainty. This facilitated further investment in process improvement,
automation and marketing. A large recruit training project for one of our police force clients also contributed
significantly to the growth.

2.2 Costs
Cost of Sales increased by 12.25% as a result of increased sales and increasing the use of specialist suppliers to
accommodate the more specialist needs of blue light clients.

The number of internal operational roles increased with the creation of a new tier of Customer Service Manager
team leaders. This additional tier was necessary to enable Customer Relationship Directors to concentrate on both
organic and new client growth.

Improved efficiencies, cost focus and the mix of work undertaken, has resulted in administrative expenses reducing
by £783,835.

2.3 Profit
Cost focus, supplier management and growth measures over the last year has enabled the organisation to nimbly
move back into a strong position with a move from a post-tax loss of £270,431 last year to a profit of £576,715.
Contributing factors also include a clear focus of our Managed Training Service product, improved tendering and
clear task assessment to determine appropriate resource levels.

2.4 Financial Summary
The key points of note in relation to the financial statements are: -

- An increase in turnover from £12,618,458 to £13,962,342.
- A reduction in administrative expenses from £2,589,470 to £1,805,635, reflecting improved resource needs
analysis.
- No increase to staff or Director's salaries, pension contributions and insurance to manage costs.
- A significant balance sheet improvement from - £190,496 to £386,219.

3.0 Post year end priorities
Since the year end, we have structured the organisation to focus on: -
- Growing our existing managed service contracts with customers by delivering a more responsive and innovative
service using our improved customer relationship management system.
- Increasing the quality and delivery of qualifications across the civil service
- Expanded our portfolio of online qualifications beyond the civil service and to the wider market place
- Increasing sales on our core health and safety and compliance training.

FUTURE DEVELOPMENTS, FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT AND GENERAL RISK
The future developments and trade of the company, financial risk management and general risk are disclosed in the
Business Review of the Strategic Report.

STATEMENT OF DIRECTORS' RESPONSIBILITIES
The directors are responsible for preparing the Strategic Report, the Report of the Directors and the financial
statements in accordance with applicable law and regulations.

Company law requires the directors to prepare financial statements for each financial year. Under that law the
directors have elected to prepare the financial statements in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted
Accounting Practice (United Kingdom Accounting Standards and applicable law). Under company law the directors
must not approve the financial statements unless they are satisfied that they give a true and fair view of the state of
affairs of the company and of the profit or loss of the company for that period. In preparing these financial
statements, the directors are required to:

-select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
-make judgements and accounting estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
-prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the
company will continue in business.

The directors are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that are sufficient to show and explain the
company's transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the company
and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also
responsible for safeguarding the assets of the company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention
and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

STATEMENT AS TO DISCLOSURE OF INFORMATION TO AUDITORS
So far as the directors are aware, there is no relevant audit information (as defined by Section 418 of the
Companies Act 2006) of which the company's auditors are unaware, and each director has taken all the steps that
he or she ought to have taken as a director in order to make himself or herself aware of any relevant audit
information and to establish that the company's auditors are aware of that information.

for the year ended 31 March 2020


AUDITORS
The auditors, Beaumonts (Statutory Auditors), will be proposed for re-appointment at the forthcoming Annual
General Meeting.

ON BEHALF OF THE BOARD:





D J Pearson - Director


21 September 2020

REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE MEMBERS OF
PREMIER PEOPLE SOLUTIONS LIMITED

Qualified opinion
We have audited the financial statements of Premier People Solutions Limited (the 'company') for the year ended
31 March 2020 which comprise the Income Statement, 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, except for the possible effects of the matter described in the basis for qualified opinion section of
our report, the financial statements:
- give a true and fair view of the state of the company's affairs as at 31 March 2020 and of its profit for the year the
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 qualified opinion
We were unable to satisfy ourselves over the recoverability of sales reserves amounting to £480,249 included in the
financial statements due to limitation of scope. We have been unable to obtain sufficient available supporting
evidence to verify the recoverability of these reserves by using audit procedures. Consequently we were unable to
determine whether any adjustments for the reserves are necessary.

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 company in accordance with the ethical
requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the UK, including 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 qualified opinion.

Conclusions relating to going concern
We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the ISAs (UK) require us to report
to you where:
- the directors' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is not
appropriate; or
- the directors have not disclosed in the financial statements any identified material uncertainties that may cast
significant doubt about the company's ability to continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting for a
period of at least twelve months from the date when the financial statements are authorised for issue.

Key audit matters
Except for the matter described in the basis for qualified opinion section, we have determined that there are no key
audit matters to be communicated in our report.

REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE MEMBERS OF
PREMIER PEOPLE SOLUTIONS LIMITED


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 there is a material
misstatement in the financial statements or a material misstatement of the other information. 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.

As described in the basis for qualified opinion section of our report, we were unable to satisfy ourselves concerning
the recoverability of sales reserves of £480,249 as at 31 March 2020. We have concluded that where the other
information refers to the sales reserves balance or related balances such as sales income, it may be materially
misstated for the same reason.

Opinions on other matters prescribed by the Companies Act 2006
Except for the possible effects of the matter described in the basis for qualified opinion section of our report, in our
opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of the audit:
- 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
- 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
Except for the matter described in the basis for qualified opinion section of our report, 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.

Arising solely from the limitation on the scope of our work relating to the recoverability of the sales reserves,
referred to above:
- we have not obtained all the information and explanations that we considered necessary for the purpose of our
audit; and
- we were unable to determine whether adequate accounting records have been kept.

We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the Companies Act 2006 requires
us to report if, in our opinion:


- 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.

REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE MEMBERS OF
PREMIER PEOPLE SOLUTIONS LIMITED


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

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.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
for the year ended 31 March 2020

1. STATUTORY INFORMATION

Premier People Solutions Limited is a private company, limited by shares , registered in England and Wales.
The company's registered number and registered office address can be found on the Company Information
page.

2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES

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

Turnover
Turnover from the provision of training and related services is recognised by reference to the stage of
completion of the work.

Goodwill
Goodwill, being the amount paid in connection with the acquisition of a business, is being amortised evenly
over its estimated useful life.

Intangible assets
Intangible assets are initially measured at cost. After initial recognition, intangible assets are measured at cost
less any accumulated amortisation and any accumulated impairment losses.

Computer software is being amortised evenly over its estimated useful life of ten years.

Tangible fixed assets
Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off each asset over its estimated useful life.
Fixtures, fittings and equipment - 10% on reducing balance
Motor vehicles - 25% on reducing balance

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.

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.

Hire purchase and leasing commitments

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.

22. COVID 19

The directors responded quickly to the impact of COVID-19 upon the business, both utilising available
COVID-19 government support, and in expanding its remote/virtual/on-line training offering. Whilst
COVID-19 did impact on results for the year end post year end, the directors believe that the company is
well placed to trade successfully over the coming years.

The directors have prepared prudent forecasts through to March 2024, taking into consideration the impact
experienced of COVID-19, post year end trading, the company's principal activity, the nature of the
company's core client base, and discussions with key clients.

Based upon these forecasts, flexing the forecasts, future bookings on the system, post year end trading, a
supportive bank and available facilities, balance sheet strength, experience of how COVID-19 has affected
the business and receipt of a CBILS loan post year-end, together with taking into account all other
information that could reasonably be expected to be available to them, the directors are of the opinion that
it is appropriate to prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis, and that there are no
material uncertainties in reaching this conclusion.
