GOPAK LIMITED
Company number 00536385 · Monitor this company
Executive summary
GOPAK LIMITED presents a paradoxical financial position: a strong balance sheet with £5.3M net assets and valuable freehold property, but a severely depleted cash position following a £1.53M transfer to group undertakings. The 82% decline in cash reserves, coupled with rising current liabilities, creates material liquidity risk for a manufacturing business, even though headline solvency ratios appear comfortable. The key risk for any stakeholder is the recoverability of the intercompany receivable and the financial health of the parent entity, Willowbrook (Education) Limited, which controls the company and appears to be drawing significant cash from it.
