DEVEREUX DEVELOPMENTS LIMITED
Company number 01301274 · Monitor this company
Executive summary
Devereux Developments is a well-established, family-owned road haulier with a 48-year trading record, consistent profitability and a conservatively financed balance sheet (£2.66M net assets, up 13% year on year, with minimal shareholder extraction). Credit is supportable on a conditional basis: the business runs very lean cash balances, thin net margins and ongoing fleet financing obligations, so approval should be subject to security over assets, a standard covenant package and quarterly management information. The working capital position must be verified from the full accounts before any drawdown, with cash headroom and gross margin (fuel exposure) the key ongoing watch items.
