SUMMARY
This company is 19.5 years old and is currently active. It is controlled by Argent Energy Holdings Limited. The company has positive equity (net assets) of GBP 78.8 million which has increased from GBP -26.3 million in the previous year. The latest reported revenue figure is GBP 358 million which is up 10% on previous year's figure of GBP 332.6 million. Retained earnings is negative (GBP -36.2 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 4 active officers (directors or partners) who are or were officers of 16 other companies, 4 (25.0%) 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)
