This company is 128.7 years old and is currently active. It is controlled by James Finlay Limited. The company has positive equity (net assets) of GBP 2.2 million which has increased from GBP 1.1 million in the previous year. Retained earnings is negative (GBP -914 thousand), which means the company has aggregate losses since it's inception or it has paid more dividends than it can afford; given the company's age, this is a sign of serious financial problems. The company has 5 active officers (directors or partners) who are or were officers of 21 other companies, 2 (9.5%) of which have since been dissolved or are proposed for strike off. The company has no public disputes filed on the Business Disputes Register. There are no court cases involving the company that we are aware of.FINANCIALS (BETA)
