MEL AVIATION COMPONENTS LIMITED
Company number 08488525 · Monitor this company
Executive summary
MEL Aviation Components is a highly profitable, rapidly growing business with a strong asset base, but it is experiencing the classic working capital strain associated with hyper-growth. While revenue and operating profit are excellent, low cash reserves and a slight contraction in gross margin indicate the business is heavily reliant on external financing to fund its expansion. The recent refinancing with HSBC is a positive step to secure the necessary liquidity for future growth.
