While the last available accounts (2017) showed a healthy company with net assets of £1.04 million and strong cash reserves of £680,000, the intervening years have clearly brought catastrophic decline. The critical unanswered question is what happened between those robust 2017 figures and the current liquidation — stakeholders should urgently request accounts for 2018 onwards and scrutinise related-party transactions with the controlling shareholder, [name withheld] Northern Limited, which holds over 75% of the company's shares.","website":"http://www.archbuildingsupplies.co.uk","links":{"page":"https://www.companiesintheuk.co.uk/ltd/arch-building-supplies","people":"https://www.companiesintheuk.co.uk/company/arch-building-supplies/people","filing_history":"https://www.companiesintheuk.co.uk/company/arch-building-supplies/filing-history","companies_house":"https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/01696363","financials":"https://www.companiesintheuk.co.uk/company/arch-building-supplies/financial","gazette":"https://www.companiesintheuk.co.uk/company/arch-building-supplies/gazette","control":"https://www.companiesintheuk.co.uk/company/arch-building-supplies/control","charges":"https://www.companiesintheuk.co.uk/company/arch-building-supplies/charges","ai_analysis":"https://www.companiesintheuk.co.uk/company/arch-building-supplies/analysis"},"source":"CompaniesInTheUK, from Companies House, The Gazette and other public registers (see /support/about).
