SUMMARY

This company is 110.5 years old and is currently active. It is controlled by Mr Barry Richard Pettitt. The company has negative equity (net assets) of GBP -3.9 million which has worsened since the previous year's figure of GBP -1.3 million. The latest reported revenue figure is GBP 13.7 million which is up 22700% on previous year's figure of GBP 60 thousand. Retained earnings is negative (GBP -39.2 million), 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 6 active officers (directors or partners) who are or were officers of 6 other companies, 4 (66.7%) 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.
