Company number 02549469 · Monitor this company
Executive summary
DP World Freight Forwarding UK Ltd has a solid equity base and is majority-owned by a major global logistics group, but revenue, profitability and cash reserves have declined significantly in recent years. An overdue confirmation statement and reduced liquidity support a cautious, conditional credit stance. Facilities should be supported by recent management information and ongoing monitoring of cash flow and working capital.
