RAIL HIRE (UK) LTD.
Company number 06758009 · Monitor this company
The most recent accounts indicate this company is dormant and not trading.
Executive summary
Rail Hire (UK) Ltd currently exists as a dormant subsidiary within the Speedy Hire Plc group, having previously built a profitable niche position in specialized rail equipment rental with net assets growing from £107K to £847K between 2011-2015. The dormant status most likely reflects a strategic consolidation of rail hire capabilities into the parent company's broader platform, eliminating operational duplication while retaining the specialized asset base and client relationships. Any future reactivation would need to address the historical working capital weakness (net current liabilities of £431K) and leverage the substantial UK rail infrastructure investment cycle to justify standalone operations.
