These metrics fall substantially below industry benchmarks for freight forwarding SMEs, where positive working capital and net assets of 10-15% of total assets are typical. The company's extremely low cash position of £9,426 and debt-to-equity ratio of approximately 24:1 indicate significant liquidity stress, likely exacerbated by Red Sea disruption costs, inflationary pressures, and the working capital demands of post-Brexit customs operations. While its 47-year heritage and multi-modal capabilities provide operational strengths, the current financial position suggests vulnerability that warrants close monitoring of going concern viability.","website":"https://jenkar.com/","links":{"page":"https://www.companiesintheuk.co.uk/ltd/jenkar-shipping","people":"https://www.companiesintheuk.co.uk/company/jenkar-shipping/people","filing_history":"https://www.companiesintheuk.co.uk/company/jenkar-shipping/filing-history","companies_house":"https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/01357235","financials":"https://www.companiesintheuk.co.uk/company/jenkar-shipping/financial","control":"https://www.companiesintheuk.co.uk/company/jenkar-shipping/control","charges":"https://www.companiesintheuk.co.uk/company/jenkar-shipping/charges","ai_analysis":"https://www.companiesintheuk.co.uk/company/jenkar-shipping/analysis"},"source":"CompaniesInTheUK, from Companies House, The Gazette and other public registers (see /support/about).
