ANGLIA COMPONENTS PLC
Company number 04233823 · Monitor this company
Executive summary
Anglia Components PLC presents a mixed credit profile: strong revenue growth and market share gains in electronic components distribution are offset by severe margin compression and a critically thin cash position. The 69% profit decline and 460bps gross margin erosion in 2023, combined with under £9,000 cash on a £99M turnover business, create meaningful liquidity risk that requires working capital facility visibility. A conditional approval is appropriate—facilities should incorporate margin and cash flow covenants, with particular attention to dividend restrictions and intercompany arrangements with the parent entity.
