J. FLETCHER (ENGINEERS) LIMITED
Company number 01828722 · Monitor this company
Executive summary
J. Fletcher (Engineers) Limited is a long-established, profitable engineering services business with a solid trading history. However, the recent acquisition by Tendra Technical Services Group has been accompanied by aggressive dividend extraction of £2.3M — exceeding annual profits by approximately £1.3M — which has reduced net assets by 33% and materially weakened the balance sheet. While the underlying business remains viable with growing revenues and positive EBIT, the new ownership structure and evident leverage within the group create significant uncertainty for creditors. Any credit facility should be conditional upon a parent company guarantee and ongoing monitoring of dividend policy and intercompany transactions.
