ROYDE & TUCKER LIMITED
Company number 00531276 · Monitor this company
Executive summary
Royde & Tucker Limited presents a mixed risk profile. The 70-year-old manufacturing business retains market position and has a healthy order book, but the financial position has deteriorated significantly, driven primarily by a £2.38M dividend extraction during a loss-making year that has reduced net assets by 72% and cash by 90% over four years. The parent company's intentions regarding future capital allocation and support are the critical variable in assessing whether this represents prudent group treasury management or value extraction that leaves the operating subsidiary vulnerable to any trading downturn.
