FRED HENDERSON LIMITED
Company number 03694250 · Monitor this company
Executive summary
Fred Henderson Limited presents as a financially stable, long-established family garage business with strong net assets of £1.55M, healthy cash reserves, and no outstanding bank debt. However, the most recent financial year shows a decline in retained profits, significant reductions in stock and debtor levels, and a decrease in employee headcount, which together suggest a potential contraction in trading activity that cannot be fully assessed without access to the profit and loss account. The company is solvent and liquid with no immediate existential threats, but the direction of travel in FY2026 warrants further investigation before any investment commitment.
