SUMMARY
This company is 56.8 years old and is currently active. It is controlled by Guardian News & Media (Holdings) Limited. The company has positive equity (net assets) of GBP 24.5 million which has decreased from the previous year's figure of GBP 39.9 million. The latest reported revenue figure is GBP 206.3 million which is similar to the previous year's figure of GBP 209.7 million. Retained earnings is negative (GBP -640.5 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 32 other companies, 2 (6.3%) 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 6 court cases involving the company that we are aware of.FINANCIALS (BETA)
