SEAMAP LIMITED
Company number 04256289 · Monitor this company
Executive summary
Seamap Limited operates as the holding company for a substantial UK optical and audiology retail group (almost certainly the Scrivens group), with £100.1M revenue and a pre-tax profit margin of 10.3% that places it at the upper end of sector performance. The company has executed a dramatic growth trajectory—total assets expanded from £5.75M in 2020 to £65.6M in 2025—driven primarily by acquisitions and property portfolio expansion, resulting in a near-debt-free balance sheet that provides significant strategic flexibility. However, the minimal parent-level cash position of £61K and reliance on family governance present risks that warrant monitoring, particularly as the group pursues further acquisition-led growth in an increasingly competitive market dominated by national chains.
