YORKWOLD PIGPRO LIMITED
Company number 01046828 · Monitor this company
Executive summary
Yorkwold Pigpro Limited is in excellent financial health, with a £30.1M equity base, low and falling liabilities, and consistent profitability that has strengthened its balance sheet every year for the past five years. The company's only material weakness is a thin cash position (£269K) resulting from a significant capital investment programme, but its low leverage, prudent hedging strategy, and confirmed going concern status indicate no threat to its viability. With continued disciplined cost management, a rebuilt cash buffer, and formalised succession planning, this long-established family business is well-positioned to weather the cyclical nature of the pig industry and continue its record of stable, long-term value creation.
