Admiral Tapes Limited

Admiral Tapes Ltd, based in Southampton, UK, is a small holding company with an active status, celebrating 44 years since its founding in 1981. The company employs ten people and holds £250,261 in assets, operating from a real address. It’s managed by five directors and owned by two individuals—though the list of owners changed a year ago, and it’s not exhaustive.

Admiral Tapes Ltd functions as a distributor, offering a full range of tapes, labels, and shipping products. It specializes in building and construction arts and theater, and is a master distributor of Shurtape, 3M, Sekisui STA, and other major brands. The company also manufactures custom labels and offers packaging solutions, including contract packaging, refurbishing, and promotional products. It operates an e-commerce site, admiraltapeco.com, managed by MacHighway, and has a presence on Weebly.

Financially, Admiral Tapes Ltd shows a mixed picture. Accumulated depreciation impairment property plant equipment has increased slightly, but additions to plant machinery are minimal. Bank borrowings have increased, and cash bank on hand has decreased. Creditors have risen significantly, while trade debtors have fallen. The company’s small size—meeting two of three criteria for a small company—helps it remain agile. Net assets have decreased by 15%, and net current assets liabilities have fallen by 18%. The company’s revenue recognition policy states that turnover is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable. The company has elected to apply the provisions of Section 11 regarding financial instruments. No auditor is mentioned, likely due to its exemption as a small company.

Despite the decline in net assets, the company’s long history and diverse service offerings—from tape distribution to custom packaging—suggest resilience. The slight increase in bank borrowings could indicate investment in growth, but the drop in cash reserves warrants close monitoring.
