BURBIDGE & SON LIMITED
Company number 00376700 · Monitor this company
Executive summary
Burbidge & Son Limited presents a medium-risk profile characterized by a solid balance sheet undermined by consecutive operating losses. The company shows encouraging improvement—gross margins strengthened significantly and the working capital position improved through liability management—but has yet to demonstrate sustainable profitability. The defined benefit pension scheme, increasing long-term debt, declining turnover, and recent board changes require careful monitoring. The company's long heritage, substantial asset base, and investment portfolio provide meaningful downside protection, but restoring operational profitability remains the critical path to reducing risk.
