FREDERICK HIAM,LIMITED
Company number 00205738 · Monitor this company
Executive summary
Frederick Hiam Limited is a financially robust agricultural business with an exceptional balance sheet (£38.1M net assets, minimal debt) and strong revenue growth momentum, but is experiencing significant margin compression (gross margin falling from 40% to 33%) and cash depletion (down 87.6% over three years). The company's asset-rich, low-leverage position provides substantial resilience, yet the declining profitability metrics warrant urgent attention to cost management and cash stabilisation. With appropriate intervention on margins and cash management, the long-term prognosis remains positive, underpinned by the company's century-old heritage and substantial land assets.
