Executive summary
L.F. Briggs (1932) Limited is an actively trading road freight company with 93 years of heritage, but its financial health has significantly deteriorated over the past decade, with cash reserves collapsing by 99% from £282,251 in 2016 to just £1,769 in 2025. While the company maintains positive working capital of £23,437 and net assets of £52,853, the critically low cash position, growing debtor book, and minimal fleet investment create substantial liquidity risk. Urgent action is needed to accelerate debtor collection, investigate unexplained "other debtor" balances, and rebuild cash reserves to restore financial resilience.
