MEDICAL ENGINEERING TECHNOLOGIES LTD.
Company number 03295099 · Monitor this company
Executive summary
Medical Engineering Technologies presents a fundamentally strong standalone profile — 29 years of continuous trading, net assets grown tenfold since 2013 to £2.25m funded entirely from retained profits, minimal leverage and current filings — but the 2022 acquisition by the WMP Bidco group materially changes the risk picture. The most recent accounts appear to be filed under the subsidiary audit exemption, a £1.6m debtor balance of apparently non-trade character now dominates the balance sheet, and no financial data is available for the three years to September 2025. On the available evidence the company is not a solvency concern, but counterparty exposure should be treated as MEDIUM until the current accounts and the wider group's leverage position are reviewed.
