SUMMARY

This company is 21.6 years old and is currently active. It is controlled by James Cropper Plc. The company has positive equity (net assets) of GBP 5 million which has decreased from the previous year's figure of GBP 5 million. The latest reported revenue figure is GBP 67.6 million which is similar to the previous year's figure of GBP 67.3 million. Retained earnings is negative (GBP -5.3 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 3 active officers (directors or partners) who are or were officers of 48 other companies, 10 (20.8%) 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.
