HILLCREST FABRICATIONS LIMITED
Company number 01899000 · Monitor this company
This company is in liquidation.
Executive summary
Hillcrest Fabrications Limited is a severely distressed small structural metalwork fabricator operating in the competitive East Midlands manufacturing corridor. With net liabilities of £430,945, a current ratio of just 0.22:1, and apparent liquidation status, the company is technically insolvent and almost certainly unable to continue trading without significant external financial support or restructuring. The dramatic deterioration in shareholders' funds from a marginal positive position in 2020 to deep insolvency by 2024-2025, coupled with escalating Crown debt and minimal capital investment, indicates a business that has been progressively failing over several years. Within the context of a challenging UK fabrication sector facing steel price volatility, energy cost inflation, and construction cycle weakness, Hillcrest lacks the scale, financial resilience, and capital base to compete effectively.
