Qatar Government and owed money.18 Jan 2018 23:42
The UK government would have been far better challenging the Qatar Government over the owed 200m to Carillion 6months earlier. That seems to be the overlooked cause of the financial distress and ultimately it's compounded collapse. If the Qatar's weren't paying towards world cup preparations, then surely our government could of politically pressured them through Fifa. Also as a shareholder I never understood why was Carillion response always it doesn't discuss it's relationships with customers. Especially when someone is evading paying you. Could it not have pressured the Qatar's through the media? Also the collapse will cost the UK government alot more now Carillion has gone bust than if it had helped it survive.If the government wasn't so weak and worried about labour it could have acted and the smaller businesses underneath as well as stabilizing the outsourcing sector.
