THE PACKAGING AND FILMS ASSOCIATION LIMITED
Company number 02530361 · Monitor this company
Executive summary
The Packaging and Films Association Limited presents a mixed credit profile: a long-established mutual trading association with no external debt and a positive net asset position, but with materially deteriorating liquidity. Cash has fallen 78.6% in one year to just £19,142, while net assets declined 14.4%, suggesting the association is operating at a deficit. The heavy reliance on debtors (89% of current assets) and the limited by guarantee structure — with members liable only to £500 — constrain recovery prospects in distress. A conditional credit opinion is warranted, requiring demonstration of restored cash generation and ongoing covenant monitoring.
