SUMMARY
This company is 38.9 years old and is currently active. It is controlled by Johnston Press Plc. The latest reported revenue figure is GBP 1.4 million which is up 10% on previous year's figure of GBP 1.3 million. Retained earnings is negative (GBP -50 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 no public disputes filed on the Business Disputes Register. There are no court cases involving the company that we are aware of.FINANCIALS (BETA)
