ROGER SIMPSON LIMITED
Company number 01372857 · Monitor this company
Executive summary
Roger Simpson Limited is a solvent, property-backed motor retailer with 47 years of trading history that returned to profitability in 2025 (inferred profit of £171,718, rebuilding net assets to £885,585), but it is operating with effectively no cash (£490) and negative working capital of £(338,749) after inventory more than doubled to £1,198,655. The overall health grade is C−: the balance sheet is sound and improving, but liquidity is critically thin and the business is funded by creditors and group support rather than its own resources. The priority treatment is converting excess stock into cash, establishing a minimum cash buffer, and obtaining a clear explanation of the unexplained £1.41m fall in net assets during 2024.
