SUMMARY
This company is 29.8 years old and is currently active. It is controlled by Db Cargo (Uk) Holdings Limited. The latest reported revenue figure is GBP 297 million which is similar to the previous year's figure of GBP 312 million. Retained earnings is negative (GBP -123 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 2 active officers (directors or partners) who are or were officers of 19 other companies, 6 (31.6%) 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 is one court case involving the company that we are aware of.FINANCIALS (BETA)
