Executive summary
HARBISONWALKER INTERNATIONAL LIMITED must be declined for any new credit facility. The company's directors explicitly announced in September 2023 that the business will cease trading by 31 December 2023 following its parent company's acquisition and integration into Calderys EMEA. While the historical balance sheet showed net assets of £3.18M and stable cash around £1M, the wind-down eliminates any operational capacity to service debt. Significant closure costs including redundancy, pension settlement, and environmental remediation for a site operating since 1921 are likely to erode asset values substantially. Any existing exposures should be migrated to the surviving group entity (Calderys EMEA) with appropriate guarantees.
