A.F. CONNELL LIMITED
Company number 02238872 · Monitor this company
Executive summary
A.F. Connell Limited is a long-established audited contractor with FY2025 turnover of £19.3m and a return to positive net assets of £341k, but equity remains thin, cash is low at £256k, and gross margin has compressed sharply. Credit appetite should be conditional: proceed only after satisfactory working-capital, cash-flow, and debt/security review, with appropriate covenants and/or security. The company has recovery momentum but limited balance-sheet resilience for unsecured lending.
