J.R. GILBERT ENGINEERING LIMITED
Company number 01719406 · Monitor this company
Executive summary
J.R. Gilbert Engineering is a well-established machining business with a strong track record of equity accumulation, growing net assets from £270k to £611k over nine years and retaining approximately £64k in profit in the latest year. However, working capital is thin (current ratio 1.10x), short-term creditors are rising faster than current assets, and micro-entity filing limits visibility into turnover and profitability metrics essential for full credit assessment. A conditional approval is recommended, contingent on management accounts disclosure, clarification of the £302k long-term creditor structure, and appropriate security over available assets.
