KYMEL TRADING LIMITED
Company number 08718623 · Monitor this company
Executive summary
Kymel Trading Limited is a financially robust, single-site destination restaurant operator in Whitby that has more than doubled turnover over five years to £4.46M while building net assets of £3.85M and cash reserves of £1.18M, positioning it as a well-capitalised player in the UK hospitality sector with clear capacity for strategic expansion. However, the 250bps gross margin decline and 31% drop in pre-tax profit in FY2025 signal cost-side pressures that must be addressed through menu engineering, supplier optimisation, and potentially a second location to diversify geographic and seasonal risk before deploying its substantial cash reserves.
