Gaya Ecotrade Ltd

Gaya Ecotrade Ltd, based in Southfleet, UK, is a small, active company established 22 years ago. With seven employees and £638,505 in assets, it’s a well-established player in the food wholesale sector. The company boasts three directors and two owners, operating from a real address. It regularly imports cereal and milk-based food products (268 months of import activity, last in February 2025) and exports milling products (14 months, last in November 2024).

The company’s website, infogayafoods.co.uk, paints a picture of a specialist importer and distributor of authentic Brazilian and Portuguese food products. It caters to wholesalers and retailers in the UK and EU, positioning itself as a “market leader” and “pioneer” in the sector. The site highlights a focus on quality, innovation, and Brazilian food culture, offering a “one-stop shop” for exclusive products. It also mentions a partnership with important food retailers in Europe, and a local presence with offices and warehouses in the UK and Portugal. The website also mentions a sister company, Gaya Foods, which specializes in piano restoration.

Financially, Gaya Ecotrade Ltd’s recent performance shows some concerning trends. Current assets decreased by 7.4% to £640,000, while net assets increased by 7.7% to £1.4 million. Bank borrowings decreased by 36% to £90,000, and cash reserves dropped by 9.5% to £370,000. Creditors decreased by 5.8% to £490,000. The company’s small size (meeting two of three criteria for turnover under £10.2m, assets under £5.1m, and fewer than 50 employees) allows it to remain flexible. However, the decrease in cash reserves and the increase in deferred tax expense—rising by 98%—suggests a need to manage finances carefully. The company is exempt from an audit, so the figures are unaudited. It’s a good thing that the company is holding steady, but the piano arm, meanwhile, thrives on prestige and heritage—a contrast to the more modest retail operations.
