BARNES WILLIAMS (UK & FAR EAST) LIMITED
Company number 02479877 · Monitor this company
Executive summary
Barnes Williams (UK & Far East) Limited is a long-established, profitable wholesale food ingredients business demonstrating strong revenue growth and consistent accumulation of retained earnings. However, the company carries medium risk due to critically low cash reserves relative to turnover, elevated leverage at approximately 76% of total assets, and signs of margin compression despite revenue expansion. The controlling parent entity (Stanilod Group Limited) and working capital dynamics require further investigation to fully assess financial resilience.
