BELSTAFF INTERNATIONAL LIMITED
Company number 01447390 · Monitor this company
Executive summary
Belstaff International has undergone a dramatic financial recovery, transitioning from net liabilities of £270.3 million to net assets of £36.3 million, largely due to capital restructuring by its parent company and ultimate controller, Jim Ratcliffe. While the balance sheet is now healthy, underlying operational metrics show a slowing pulse with a 5.2% drop in revenue, though this was partially offset by an improvement in gross margins. The company is stabilized and out of intensive care, but must now focus on top-line growth to ensure long-term financial wellness.
