HIGHNAM CONSTRUCTION LIMITED
Company number 06562437 · Monitor this company
Executive summary
Highnam Construction Limited presents a materially weakened credit profile following a catastrophic deterioration in the year ending August 2025, with net assets declining 68% from £1.0m to £324k and cash reserves falling to critically thin levels of £12,787. The primary driver—a £771k reduction in debtors—requires urgent investigation to determine whether this reflects normal contract completion or significant bad debt exposure. Any credit facility should be conditional on satisfactory explanation of the 2025 decline, enhanced security, and quarterly monitoring of cash flows and debtor quality.
