REDESDALE ARMS LIMITED
Company number 03865043 · Monitor this company
Executive summary
Redesdale Arms Limited presents a fundamentally altered risk profile: the company has ceased trading and transferred its assets and trade to W H Brakspear & Sons Limited, meaning it no longer operates as a going concern. While net assets of £3.68 million suggest a solvent position on paper, the net current liabilities of £753K and the absence of future trading income create significant uncertainty around the company's ability to meet near-term obligations without group support. The prior-year error correction and substantial dividend paid before cessation warrant further scrutiny regarding governance quality and potential insolvency risk at the time of distribution.
