M.P.M. CONSUMER PRODUCTS LIMITED
Company number 03135582 · Monitor this company
Executive summary
M.P.M. Consumer Products Limited represents a textbook case of a mid-tier UK personal care manufacturer that has succumbed to the structural pressures facing the sector. The company's financial position deteriorated catastrophically, with shareholders' funds collapsing by 80% in the year to December 2024, leaving net assets of just £341K against total liabilities of £4.6M. The administration filing reflects an unsustainable capital structure — a debt-to-equity ratio exceeding 13:1, near-zero working capital headroom, and cash reserves insufficient to fund ongoing operations. The business was ultimately unable to navigate the combination of input cost inflation, customer pricing power, and elevated borrowing costs that have devastated the competitive position of smaller manufacturers in this sector.
