E.C. WIRE LIMITED
Company number 03239930 · Monitor this company
Executive summary
E.C. Wire Limited is a profitable, cash-generative business with nearly 30 years of trading history, but it faces significant short-term liquidity pressure following the reclassification of £558k from long-term to current liabilities, which halved its working capital and pushed the quick ratio below 1.0. The immediate priority is understanding and addressing this debt maturity shift, while maintaining the strong cash generation that has seen reserves grow from £111k to £498k over five years.
