SUMMARY

This company is 37.3 years old and is currently active. It is controlled by multiple entities. No P&L financials are available but there is Balance Sheet data. The company has positive equity (net assets) of GBP 237 thousand which has increased from GBP -973 thousand in the previous year. Although the P&L is not published, we can infer from the Balance Sheet that Net Profit (less dividends) was GBP 535 thousand in the last reported period. Retained earnings is negative (GBP -958 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 4 active officers (directors or partners) who are or were officers of 5 other companies. The company has no public disputes filed on the Business Disputes Register. There is one court case involving the company that we are aware of.
