Background
Wheyland Logistics Ltd: Company Background
Wheyland Logistics Ltd (WLL) is a UK based privately owned company with revenue of £32 million
per annum, and 350 employees. The company was founded by Edward Wheyland in 1982, who ran
the company until he retired in 2011 when his son, Simon Wheyland, became CEO. Edward
Wheyland retains 60% control of WLL and Simon Wheyland owns the remaining 40% of shares.

WLL is well established as a logistics company within the UK, currently operating a fleet of 300
lorries. Despite the national inflation rate being four per cent per annum over the last few year
(which is expected to continue), a general downturn in the economic environment has meant that
WLL has experienced a revenue reduction of about four per cent per annum.

The main activity of WLL is providing logistics services for a large number of small and medium
manufacturing companies, some of whom have been clients of WLL for over thirty years. Since
Simon Wheyland became CEO he has pursued contracts from larger companies, with the noticeable
success of, during 2010, securing a contact with major supermarket that now accounts for 35% of
WLL’s annual revenue.

The current fleet of lorries has been procured over the last twenty years, and traditionally WLL have
always kept up with the latest advances in lorry technology. This has fed into their corporate image
of being innovative and technologically advanced, this is believed to have been a major factor in
securing many of the current contracts.

WLL’s Capital Investment Policy


The capital investment into their fleet is of central importance to the operations of WLL. The
company has over a number of years developed a detailed system by which capital investments are
considered. The later summary in Excerpt from the Capital Investment Manual, highlights the formal
process for capital investment decision making within WLL.

Current Capital Investment Decision: Purchase of 48 replacement lorries.


The Fleet Manager, Martin Wolcott, has submitted an application, CI/3 form, to replace the 48
oldest lorries in the fleet with 48 brand new state of the art lorries. The maintenance bill of this
portion of the fleet has risen considerably over the last 4 years, with these lorries having an average
age of over 15 years and an average lifetime mileage of 1,728,000 miles. These lorries have also
been experiencing a greater occurrence of breakdowns which has been delaying deliveries and
damaging the image of WLL.

The Workshop Manager has indicated that the existing 48 lorries will require significant maintenance
during January to ensure that they are road legal for beyond the end of March 2018. With this
maintenance, their reliability will remain unchanged and would still require replacing in three years’
time, the end of March 2021.

The Fleet Manager has recommended that the 48 lorries be replaced with the new Superio lorry,
designed and manufactured by a leading German automobile company. The Superio is considerably
more advanced than the current fleet, with its’ expected reliability and fuel consumption
improvements highly noted.

11
The new lorries cost £135,000 each, which is considerably higher than the original cost of the
existing lorries. The following details have been included in the CI/3 form:

 Description: Purchase of 48 Superio lorries to replace 48 existing lorries that require


significant maintenance.
 Cost projections: Purchase price = £135,000 per unit, Annual maintenance cost = £10,000.
Annual fuel cost = £36,000. Based on completing 274 jobs a year.
 Projected timescale: Provided the order is placed before 31st January 2018, the lorries will
be delivered for 1st April 2018. With the purchase price payable 31st March 2018, the last
day of WLL’s tax year.

Interested Parties.
The Director of Capital Investments is currently concerned that, due to the significant size of this
investment, it is carefully considered and that all relevant information is utilised in the decision
making process. A meeting was called involving various interested parties, the following people were
present:

Fiona Collins, Director of Capital Investments. Fiona joined WLL in 2016, and is still
familiarising herself with some of the technical aspects of the business, having previously worked for
a manufacturing company. She has a degree in finance and is generally considered competent; she is
at times viewed as overambitious and is a strong supporter of Simon Wheyland’s long term plan to
attract larger contracts. Some long standing members of WLL doubt her decision making ability due
to her lack of experience in the industry.

Vinoj Ragan, Financial Director. Vinoj joined WLL over twenty years ago as an Accounts
Assistant, in 2007 he became the Financial Director. He is well respected within the company and
remains close friends with Edward Wheyland since his retirement. Since the financial crisis, where
WLL’s credit was seriously restricted, Vinoj has become much more prudent and risk averse, this has
placed him at odds with Simon Wheyland on numerous occasions.

Martin Wolcott, Fleet Manager. Martin was one of the first drivers employed by WLL when the
company began in 1984. He is well respected amongst the drivers, having worked with and
employed many of them. Despite being based in the head office since becoming Fleet Manager in
2009, he is more often found working from one of the companies depots. He is viewed as fiercely
loyal to his drivers, and has an uncompromising and confrontational manner.

Simon Wheyland, Chief Executive Officer. Since becoming CEO in 2011, Simon has pursued an
aggressive policy of targeting contracts from larger companies. Having spent his life involved with
the business he is generally liked within the company. However his focus on attracting customers
has caused some areas of the business to be neglected and not to have received adequate board
attention.

12
The meeting.
The meeting was held by Fiona, the following are excerpts from the discussions and minutes of the
meeting.

FC: We have received a CI/3 form from Martin concerning the purchase of 48 replacement lorries.
We’re in the process of calculating the NPV of the project. In the past we have always demanded
that a positive NPV at our required rate of return, 25%. We need to ensure that we know all of the
potential financial benefits that these new lorries can give us. Else we can just let the old lorries run
out the rest of their useful lives and renew them in a few years’ time.

SW: I agree that we need to look very closely into an investment of this scale, Martin what do you
think would happen if we stay with the old lorries?

MW: The old lorries have done well but they need significant maintenance to make sure they remain
road legal past March. If we spend the £6,700 a unit we can keep them road legal until they go out
of commission in 3 years’ time, and they will still need their standard maintenance each year of
£6,000.

SW: How much is it costing us to run these old lorries?

MW: Each lorry is costing about £74,000 a year on fuel, plus they’re breaking down more. I would
predict that there’s about a 50% chance that each one will breakdown in the next 12 months, when
they do breakdown it tends to cost us about £5,000 in parts as well as losing about 3 days of
productive work. Once they are fixed, there’s still a 50% chance they’ll breakdown again in the
following 12 months. If we scrap them in March without the emergency repairs we should still get
£500 a unit.

SW: How do the new Superio lorry perform?

MW: Well they are considerably more fuel efficient than our current lorries, we can expect the new
lorries to only require £36,000 of fuel annually, and they are much more reliable. The salesmen told
me that they expect only 15% of the lorries to breakdown each year, however due to these being
much more technologically advanced it’ll cost us on average £16,000 in parts when they do
breakdown. They’ll also take an additional day to repair. We’ll also need to send our maintenance
staff to Germany for training on the maintenance and repair of the new lorries, looks like it’ll cost
£2,300 a head all in for the training.

SW: Yes I read about that, I think if we spread the training evenly over 5 months we should be able
to training all the maintenance staff without infringing on their productivity here.

MW: The Superio’s should give us additional capacity for an extra 24 jobs a year each.

SW: Good to hear, we can pursue additional contracts to fill that capacity consistently throughout
the year.

FC: We really need these new lorries as the old ones are really starting to show their age and
compared to our competitors they do not give the best impression of WLL. I agree that we should be
able to attract enough additional contracts to fill the extra capacity that the Superio’s will give us.

13
SW: Vinoj, you’ve been quiet so far, anything to add about this investment?

VR: Well I imagine that if we wait for another 3 years before replacing these lorries we could
purchase the Superio’s at a lower price, I’d expect the price to be £120,000 each in current terms.
Especially as we are planning on issuing bond capital to finance this investment, if we wait we can
reduce our interest liability and inflation will work in our favour.

SW: As we can currently issue additional bond capital at face value, we should take advantage of this
opportunity to increase our borrowing without adversely affecting our gearing, I think we should
look to sell an additional £5,000,000 worth of our current bonds. Besides with fuel cost rising by 2%
a year and our maintenance and parts prices rising by 3% a year, the more efficient new trucks
become more necessary.

VR: We’ll be adjusting our job price again in April at the general inflation rate, to reflect the inflation
effect on the rest of our costs. I’m also concerned that our standard payback requirement of five
years is too long. As we will need to replace the lorries in three years anyway, perhaps we should
use a payback period of three years.

FC: Five years payback has always served us well in the past, and we still have NPV to aid our
decision making.

VR: An immediate purchase will also allow us to take advantage of capital allowances to reduce our
tax bill. As even our youngest lorry is over 10 years old our expenditure on them no longer qualifies,
but we would qualify if we purchased them now.

FC: How do the capital allowances work?

VR: The government allows us to reclaim a portion of our tax bill each year following a purchase of a
capital asset. We can claim the value of our tax rate on a portion of the value of the capital asset,
currently we can claim upon 25% of a capital assets value each year on a reducing basis for up to 10
years after purchase.

FC: That would be good as the current tax rate of 20% is really damaging our profits each year, it’ll
be good to reduce this.

VR: Yes it will, but we have to wait until a year after the investment before we start receiving any
benefits as it works in arrears, the same as our standard tax.

Wheyland Logisics Ltd Capital Investment Procedures Summary
For the purpose of these procedures, a capital investment is defined as any major investment into
purchasing, constructing or upgrading capital assets, from which benefits will be received over
multiple years.

1. During January each year the capital investment budget will be set for the following financial
year, April to March. The budget will be set by the directors, based upon on what they
consider the company to be able to afford.
2. Later that month divisional managers will prepare and present their capital investment
requirements, under the following three headings:
i. Essential replacement of existing assets (Class 1)
ii. Strategic expansion (Class 2)
iii. Safety and regulatory expenditure (Class 3)
Final budget allocations will be made jointly by the CEO and Director for Capital Investment.
3. Applications for capital investment funds require the submission of a standard CI/3 form.
The form requires the following information:
i. Description of the proposed investment
ii. Motivations for the investment
iii. Projected costs
iv. Projected financial benefits
v. Key performance indicators for the investment, use for assessing the riskiness of the
proposal and for future investment audit
vi. Projected timescale for the completion of the investment
vii. Comments from affected area managers
Note: Class 1 investments may dispense with items ii, iv, and v. Class 3 investments may
dispense with items iv and v.
4. The CI/3 form will be assessed by the Director of Capital Investments, who will have the
following options:
i. Accept the proposal and forward to the CEO for final approval
ii. Refer the proposal back for further refinement
iii. Reject the proposal
Capital investments will be assessed with regard to net present value and payback period of
the proposed project. Class 1 projects should be considered as cost minimisation projects as
there is already an accepted requirement for continuing operations. Class 3 projects are not
required to meet financial criteria.
5. Financial projections should be calculated using the following criteria:
i. The net present value of project should be calculated using a real discount rate of
25%
ii. Projects require to maximum payback period of 5 years
iii. For net present value calculations costs and benefits are to be allocated on an
annual basis
iv. For short term cash flow forecasting costs and benefits are to be allocated on a
monthly basis
v. All projects are assessed on a 10 year planning horizon, past predictions beyond 10
years have proved to be too uncertain for investment decisions.

15
6. If accepted, the Director for Capital Investments will allocate funds from the annual budget
and appoint a project supervisor, who will be responsible for the implementation and
reports of the project.
7. In due course the project may be subject to a post investment audit by the Director of
Capital Investments.
