HELIX TOOL COMPANY LIMITED
Company number 03237987 · Monitor this company
Executive summary
Helix Tool Company Limited has achieved a notable financial recovery in FY2018, with net assets increasing five-fold to £521,524, but this improvement rests on precarious foundations—trade debtors constitute 80% of current assets and creditor financing has increased substantially. The Mro+ Solutions acquisition provides strategic optionality through distribution consolidation and operational synergies, yet the company must urgently address its working capital structure to sustain growth. Success will depend on converting receivables to cash, negotiating sustainable supplier terms, and leveraging the parent company's resources to build a more resilient and diversified business model.
