A E Williams (est 1779) Ltd

A.E. Williams (est. 779) Ltd, based in Birmingham, UK, is a small, active company with a rich history spanning over two and a half centuries. Founded seven years ago in 2017, it employs 18 people and holds assets worth £682,989. The company operates from a real address and is overseen by three directors and two owners. It’s a regular importer of clocks, watches, and their parts (19 months), and a regular exporter of tin and products made from tin (31 months).

The company’s website, A.E. Williams English Pewter Maker, reveals a fascinating blend of traditional craftsmanship and modern retail. It’s not a typical e-commerce site; instead, it’s a showcase for a long-standing business specializing in British pewter. The site invites visitors to take a tour of the factory, learn about the company's history, and even purchase items from its online gift shop. It offers commercial pewter processes, news, and even repair and hire services. The website highlights the company's vast collection of moulds, some dating back centuries, and even boasts the ability to supply goblets cast from original moulds.

Financially, A.E. Williams shows a mixed bag. Cash bank on hand increased significantly by 78% to £370,000, while current assets grew by 35% to £680,000. However, accumulated amortisation impairment intangible assets increased by 17%, and accumulated depreciation impairment property plant equipment rose by 38%. The company’s net assets grew by 19% to £570,000, and trade creditors increased by 20% to £84,000. The company's small size (meeting two of three criteria for turnover under £10.2m, assets under £5.1m, and fewer than 50 employees) helps it stay nimble, but the increase in creditors suggests a need to manage debt carefully. The accounts are unaudited, as is common for small companies.
