PERKINS GROUP SERVICES LIMITED
Company number 00568115 · Monitor this company
Executive summary
Perkins Group Services Limited is a long-established wholesale distributor with adequate solvency metrics but deteriorating profitability, as evidenced by an £18,795 decline in retained earnings in FY2022. While the current ratio remains above 1.5 and cash has improved significantly, the rising current liabilities, high stock concentration in seasonal products, and reliance on group-level funding facilities introduce medium-level risk. The going concern assessment is explicitly contingent on group support and bank covenant compliance, making the financial health of the wider Chaing Equities group a critical dependency. Further due diligence should focus on the composition of current liabilities, intercompany exposures, and the trajectory of trading performance beyond the abbreviated filing.
