FUEL EXPRESS LIMITED
Company number 03439446 · Monitor this company
Executive summary
Fuel Express Limited is a long-established fuel distribution business with growing turnover (£37.6M) but structurally razor-thin margins (1.37%) by design, as it operates as a pass-through network retaining only minimal profit. The company's cash position has collapsed from £324k to £11.7k, and with equity of just £216k against £7.6M in liabilities, the balance sheet offers virtually no buffer against operational shocks. Credit should only be extended on a conditional basis with security or parent company support from G N G Holdings Limited.
