Sop International Limited

Sop International Ltd, based in Harlow, UK, is a holding company with an active status, celebrating forty years in business. Employing seventy people and holding assets valued at £40,103,068, the company operates from a real address and is overseen by seven directors and three owners. It's a regular importer and exporter, specializing in prepared or preserved plant-based foods, with ninety-three months of import activity and one hundred and seventy months of export activity recorded.

The company, established in 1961 as a packer and processor of edible oils, moved its head office to Hertford in 2003 and began importing and distributing a wide range of Oriental and Asian foods. A significant milestone was the move to a new purpose-built headquarters and distribution centre in Harlow, Essex, in 2020, positioning it for continued expansion bringing authentic Asian Oriental products to the UK and abroad.

Sop International Ltd offers a diverse range of products, including oils, spices, butter, rice, canned fruits, and pickles, representing leading family brands familiar to Thai, Indian, Malaysian, and Chinese households. Its website showcases a wide array of brands, from Khanum and Golden Swan to Lee Kum Kee and Yeo's, and allows customers to search by category or brand. The site also features a recipe section and a product brochure.

Financially, Sop International Ltd shows some interesting trends. Accrued liabilities increased by 15%, while accumulated amortisation of intangible assets rose by 27%. Bank borrowings surged by a staggering 4800%, reaching £3.3 million—a significant jump. Cash and cash equivalents, however, declined by 24% to £69,000. Despite these fluctuations, the company reported a comprehensive income expense of £6.6 million, a 38% increase. Creditors also increased by 49%, suggesting a need to manage debt. The company’s net assets increased by 19% to £21 million.

The company’s auditor is DJH Audit Limited. While the financial figures indicate growth, the sharp increase in bank borrowings and decrease in cash reserves warrants close monitoring. The company's continued success will likely depend on maintaining its strong supplier relationships and adapting to evolving consumer preferences in the Asian food market.
