QUEEN ANNE TABLEWARE LIMITED
Company number 04050469 · Monitor this company
Executive summary
Queen Anne Tableware Limited operates as a niche heritage manufacturer within the UK's declining fabricated metal products sector, leveraging its "Queen Anne" brand positioning and Black Country manufacturing heritage to differentiate from low-cost import competition. While the company benefits from freehold property ownership and group support through Global Metal Finishers Limited, its balance sheet reveals significant structural concerns: a current ratio of just 0.44:1, heavily depreciated plant and machinery requiring imminent capital investment, and a 15% workforce reduction suggesting operational contraction. The substantial directors' current account balance (£795,866) provides some reassurance regarding short-term creditor obligations, but the business remains dependent on continued group and director financial support—a vulnerability in an industry facing persistent energy cost pressure, import penetration, and regulatory compliance burdens that show little sign of abating.
