M J D & SONS(SCAFFOLDING)LIMITED
Company number SC084084 · Monitor this company
Executive summary
M J D & Sons (Scaffolding) Limited is a well-capitalised, long-established regional scaffolding contractor with balance sheet strength that significantly exceeds sector norms — its current ratio of 4.69x and cash-to-assets ratio of 54% reflect a highly conservative financial posture atypical of an industry where tight working capital and asset-backed lending are standard. The company occupies a solid mid-tier position in the Ayrshire/west Scotland market, bolstered by its MJD (Access Hire) subsidiary and freehold yard ownership, though its ageing plant fleet (88% depreciated) and flat net asset trajectory over seven years suggest limited reinvestment and a lifestyle business orientation rather than an expansionist growth strategy.
