MONTAD LIMITED
Company number 01976742 · Monitor this company
Executive summary
Montad Limited is a well-established, mid-tier West Midlands road freight operator generating approximately £12.2 million in annual revenue as part of the Cargo Express group. While the company has demonstrated revenue resilience through automotive sector disruption and maintains valuable DVSA Earned Recognition accreditation, its operating margin has compressed to 1.1% and its cash position is critically thin at £6,388, leaving the business with minimal liquidity buffer. The strategic emphasis on sector diversification and international logistics growth is the right direction, but margin recovery and cash generation must be prioritised to ensure the company can absorb future shocks without external support.
