CAPRICORN AUTOMOTIVE LIMITED, WA4 4BS : Companies House Number 02685331

Executive summary

Capricorn Automotive Limited is a specialist precision machining business with genuine technical heritage, now in administration despite modest recent improvements in its balance sheet position. The company's £1.64M asset base and skilled workforce represent potential value for a restructuring or acquisition, but the £5.85M accumulated loss, persistent working capital deficit, and automotive sector disruption create a severely constrained strategic position where survival itself is the primary objective.
