J & J ORMEROD PLC
Company number 00931323 · Monitor this company
Executive summary
J & J Ormerod presents a mixed credit profile: a well-established manufacturer with substantial net assets (£17.1M) and improving working capital discipline, but facing persistent revenue decline (14.7% over two years) and severe cash deterioration (69% decline to £733K). The complex ownership structure involving corporate PSCs requires scrutiny for potential cash extraction, while the employee-first culture, though commendable, may delay necessary cost adjustments. A conditional approval with financial covenants protecting against further equity erosion and requiring minimum cash thresholds would be appropriate for this credit.
