BUCKINGHAMS CATERING SUPPLIES LIMITED
Company number 04505242 · Monitor this company
Executive summary
Buckinghams Catering Supplies Limited has transitioned from a position of stable financial health to one of acute distress, characterized by a 35% drop in net assets during the 2025 fiscal year. While the company remains solvent with a positive cash balance, this has been largely maintained by dangerously stretching supplier payments, as evidenced by a near 40% surge in trade creditors. Immediate intervention is required to restore profitability and restructure working capital before supplier confidence is lost entirely.
