The company's strong liquidity position (3:1 current ratio), absence of long-term debt, and 50-year trading history are offset by negligible equity growth over eight years and a concerning 25% reduction in headcount. The lack of a filed P&L account significantly limits visibility into profitability and trading performance. The unexplained £766K reduction in net assets between 2016 and 2017, and the group structure through Kerr & Noble Holdings Limited, require further investigation before any investment commitment.","website":"http://www.kerr-noble.com","links":{"page":"https://www.companiesintheuk.co.uk/ltd/kerr-noble","people":"https://www.companiesintheuk.co.uk/company/kerr-noble/people","filing_history":"https://www.companiesintheuk.co.uk/company/kerr-noble/filing-history","companies_house":"https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/01200164","financials":"https://www.companiesintheuk.co.uk/company/kerr-noble/financial","control":"https://www.companiesintheuk.co.uk/company/kerr-noble/control","charges":"https://www.companiesintheuk.co.uk/company/kerr-noble/charges","ai_analysis":"https://www.companiesintheuk.co.uk/company/kerr-noble/analysis"},"source":"CompaniesInTheUK, from Companies House, The Gazette and other public registers (see /support/about).
