The ICC score has been designed to predict the likelihood of a company becoming insolvent within the year. The latest score is 55 and this indicates a risk level for the next year half the average rate of 2%. We would expect 60.16% of companies to be at and above this score. The credit limit is £520,000,000, which is a reflection of the score and the substantial financial strength of the company.
 
County Court Judgments: There are 37 exact unsatisfied CCJs totalling £58396.00.
