Hirst Conservation Limited

Hirst Conservation Ltd, based in Sleaford, UK, is a small, active company founded nine years ago. With 27 employees and £1,537,341 in assets, it operates as an irregular importer of wood and wood products (last import in 2022) and an irregular exporter of art and antiques (last export in 2023). The company has three directors and two owners, and its real address is shared by just three other companies.

The company's website highlights its expertise in the conservation of objects and historic buildings, offering a range of services from surveys and decoration to traditional plasterwork and wall painting restoration. It also features a separate branch, Hirst Architecture, a RIBA chartered practice led by Anna Webster and Elizabeth Hirst’s daughter. The website showcases recent projects and news, including becoming a RIBA chartered practice and restoration work at Rochdale Town Hall.

Financially, Hirst Conservation Ltd presents a mixed picture. While current assets remained stable at £1.5 million, net assets increased by 22% to £900,000. However, bank borrowings surged by 110%, reaching £260,000, and cash reserves plummeted 98% to a mere £1,100. Creditors also increased by 15%, and trade debtors rose by 40%. The company’s small size—meeting two of three conditions for a small company—allows for agility, but the increase in borrowing and decrease in cash reserves suggests a need for careful financial management. The company is exempt from an audit, so the figures are unaudited. The increase in bank borrowings could be due to investments in the architecture branch or ongoing conservation projects, but it’s something to keep an eye on.
