KERR & NOBLE LIMITED
Company number 01200164 · Monitor this company
Executive summary
Kerr & Noble Limited presents a financially stable but seemingly stagnant business. The company's strong liquidity position (3:1 current ratio), absence of long-term debt, and 50-year trading history are offset by negligible equity growth over eight years and a concerning 25% reduction in headcount. The lack of a filed P&L account significantly limits visibility into profitability and trading performance. The unexplained £766K reduction in net assets between 2016 and 2017, and the group structure through Kerr & Noble Holdings Limited, require further investigation before any investment commitment.
