Question: Find engineering SMEs in the West Midlands that are growing, have won public-sector work and may need additional working capital.
Intent: Geography: West Midlands; Sector: engineering; Size: SME; Growth signal; Public contracts; Working-capital signal.
Tools selected: search_companies, execute_ukgaap_query, search_contracts, execute_query.
Modules queried: Company index (Engineering SIC codes, West Midlands, live, SME size bands: 1,284 candidates); UK GAAP financials (Turnover up over two periods, cash down or trade debtors rising: 216 match); Contract Finder index (Awarded supplier in last 24 months, any buyer: 41 match); Company index (No new charge in 36 months, no insolvency event: 27 shortlisted).
Evidence connected: Turnover growth and debtor build-up from two consecutive filings; Contract award notice with buyer and value; Charge history showing age of last secured facility; Company status, incorporation date and SIC description.
Answer: 27 engineering SMEs in the West Midlands match all four conditions. The strongest signal set combines two years of turnover growth with rising trade debtors, a public-sector award in the last 24 months, and a last registered charge older than three years.
Provenance: Source Companies House filings; Contracts Finder; date Filed accounts to 2025; awards to 2026; module Company, Financial, Procurement, Lending; usage 27 company records.
Suggested next questions: Which of these have a director or PSC change in the last 12 months? / Which lenders hold the existing charges? / Who is the finance contact at the top ten?
