However, the business remains operationally loss-making (EBIT of -£1.6m) and is dependent on £7m in parent company capital injections over two years to maintain solvency. The strategic pivot toward higher-margin service work and smaller projects is appropriate, but the company's financial health remains fragile — thin margins, high leverage (87%), and minimal equity buffers mean the patient is still in the recovery ward rather than fully discharged. Continued parent company support and rigorous project margin management will be critical to achieving sustained profitability.","website":"https://www.protec.co.uk/","links":{"page":"https://www.companiesintheuk.co.uk/ltd/protec-camerfield","people":"https://www.companiesintheuk.co.uk/company/protec-camerfield/people","filing_history":"https://www.companiesintheuk.co.uk/company/protec-camerfield/filing-history","companies_house":"https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/02894458","financials":"https://www.companiesintheuk.co.uk/company/protec-camerfield/financial","control":"https://www.companiesintheuk.co.uk/company/protec-camerfield/control","ai_analysis":"https://www.companiesintheuk.co.uk/company/protec-camerfield/analysis"},"source":"CompaniesInTheUK, from Companies House, The Gazette and other public registers (see /support/about).
