The confirmation statement for this company is overdue.
Executive summary
Westminster Services Limited operates as the captive training division of Westminster Group Plc rather than as an independent market competitor, which fundamentally reframes interpretation of its financial position. While technically insolvent with net liabilities of £2.4m and a perilously thin cash balance of just £4k, these metrics reflect intercompany financial structuring (a £2.6m creditor to the parent) rather than operational failure. However, the halving of gross margins from 28.7% to 13.25% and breakeven profitability signal genuine margin compression that warrants attention, and the recent mass resignation of four directors raises governance continuity concerns for an entity entirely dependent on parental support.
