DAVID RAY DEVELOPMENTS LIMITED
Company number 05082639 · Monitor this company
Executive summary
David Ray Developments Limited operates as a small, family-owned holiday park business in the fragmented UK caravan and camping sector, where it has demonstrated consistent long-term value creation with net assets growing at nearly 10% CAGR over a decade. However, the company's near-zero cash position, a substantial director's loan balance of approximately £941,000 representing 73% of net assets, and heavy reliance on intercompany balances create significant liquidity and governance risks that warrant careful monitoring despite the otherwise stable trading trajectory.
