MONTAGU COACHWORKS LTD
Company number 04553492 · Monitor this company
Executive summary
Montagu Coachworks is a financially robust independent garage and bodyshop that has transformed its balance sheet from net assets of £93k in 2019 to £506k in 2024, significantly outperforming typical sector benchmarks. The business carries negligible debt, holds exceptional cash reserves of £516k, and demonstrates the financial resilience to navigate the sector's emerging challenges around EV transition and margin compression. However, the slight deterioration in FY2024, combined with rising creditor balances and increasing debtor days, warrants monitoring to determine whether this represents normalisation of post-COVID trading conditions or the onset of structural margin pressure.
