APPLEBY WESTWARD GROUP LIMITED
Company number 01791158 · Monitor this company
Executive summary
Appleby Westward Group Limited presents a high-risk investment profile following a £15.1m loss in FY2024 that eroded 42% of net assets, leaving the company with zero cash and entirely dependent on group-level cash pooling for liquidity. The £10.1m intercompany provision and loss of a major customer introduce material uncertainty over future revenue and asset recoverability. While parent company backing and a 40-year trading history provide some reassurance, the company's financial viability as a standalone entity is severely compromised, and any withdrawal of group support would likely trigger insolvency.
