GLENFERN TRADING LIMITED
Company number 06312950 · Monitor this company
Executive summary
Glenfern Trading Limited is in good financial health, having more than doubled its net assets over the past decade from £625,265 to £1,405,192, with a particularly strong cash position of £1.12 million as at October 2024. The primary area requiring monitoring is the elevated current liability level of £1.9 million, which produces a current ratio of 1.24x — adequate for a motor trader but leaving limited room for error if stock values decline. With continued focus on stock discipline and profit retention, the company's financial prognosis is positive.
