Zanos Ltd

Zanos Ltd, a small holding company based in Bishop’s Stortford, UK, has been active for 25 years. Founded in 2000, it employs four people and holds assets valued at £2,068,513. The company, with three directors and one owner, operates from a real address and regularly imports and exports organic chemicals – 332 months of imports and 54 months of exports recorded. It’s a family-owned business, remaining 100% family-owned despite the involvement of one of its founders, Kendrick Gilkes.

Zanos Ltd functions as a key division within the larger Stort Group, specializing in the distribution of speciality chemicals to the Coatings and Fragrance Flavours industries. Through its divisions, Stort Industrial and Zanos Europe, it serves a wide range of applications, from aroma chemicals to raw materials for coatings. Zanos Europe acts as the post-Brexit logistical hub for the group’s European operations, managing distribution and regulatory support from a warehouse in Rotterdam. The company also recently attended the European Coatings Show 2025 and JEC World 2025, showcasing its connections with principals like Robert Kraemer GmbH Co. KG and Vibrantz Technologies Inc.

Financially, Zanos Ltd presents a mixed picture. While current assets increased by 14% to £2,100,000, equity surged by 38% to £550,000, and bank borrowings increased by 70% to £590,000. Cash reserves, however, grew significantly by 290% to £460,000. Trade debtors decreased by 38% to £550,000, suggesting improved collection efforts, but other debtors jumped dramatically by 950% to £73,000. The company's small size—meeting two of three criteria for a small company—allows for agility, but the increase in bank borrowings warrants a closer look. As a small company, it’s exempt from an audit, so the financial data is unaudited.
