MICHAEL DAVIES AND ASSOCIATES LIMITED
Company number 02165614 · Monitor this company
Executive summary
Michael Davies and Associates Limited is a financially stable logistics business benefiting from strong group backing (bpost NV) and robust cash generation, with cash reserves growing 369% over six years to £17.4m. However, the company operates with thin margins (~3.5% operating margin) and has experienced significant net asset erosion from £37.5m (2019) to £26.7m (2025), likely due to group-level dividend extraction. The 2025 results show encouraging recovery signs with net assets up 11.7% and cash up 43.8%, but the plateauing revenue and challenging economic environment require careful management to maintain financial health.
