IVOR KING (CIVIL ENGINEERING CONTRACTORS) LIMITED
Company number 01169018 · Monitor this company
Executive summary
Ivor King (Civil Engineering Contractors) Limited presents a mixed risk profile. The company's 50-year track record, consistent equity growth, and strong FY2025 recovery are encouraging, but these positives are offset by a history of perilously low cash reserves, negative working capital, and high leverage. The FY2025 cash improvement to £1.53M is a significant step forward but remains thin for a £30M turnover construction business. The concentrated ownership structure through Ivor King Holdings Limited and the cyclical nature of civil engineering warrant ongoing monitoring. The investment case rests on whether the FY2025 recovery represents a sustainable structural improvement or a temporary peak in an inherently volatile sector.
