MASON PEARSON BROS. LIMITED, RM13 9BP : Companies House Number 01090477

Executive summary

Mason Pearson Bros. Limited presents a LOW risk profile characterised by consistent asset growth, substantial cash reserves of £7.8M, minimal leverage, and a 50-year trading history as a premium hairbrush manufacturer. The principal areas requiring further investigation are the near-doubling of liabilities in the latest year, the concentrated control exercised by the majority shareholder, and the company's exposure to foreign currency fluctuations on imported raw materials. Overall, the financial position is robust and the business appears well-managed, with the caveats typical of owner-controlled enterprises regarding governance and succession.
