THAMES WATER LIMITED

Company number 02366623 ·

Active

The annual accounts for this company are overdue.

Executive summary

Thames Water Limited presents unacceptable credit risk for standard commercial facilities. The entity is a holding company with negligible share capital (£629), 100% owned by Kemble Water Finance Limited, and currently has overdue accounts at Companies House—a serious governance concern that prevents meaningful financial analysis. The broader Thames Water group carries approximately £15-18 billion of debt, faces potential special administration, and has experienced multiple credit rating downgrades. No credit facility should be extended to this entity without senior secured creditor status, robust guarantees from the operating subsidiaries, and significant margin to reflect the distressed credit profile.
