My simplistic view on Company situation / actions to date .
My day job for the last 30 odds years has been in the Builders Merchants game .
As you can imagine in that industry bankruptcy, liquidations etc , are an every day occurrence, think local builder through to Carillion .
I have had dealings with many cases over the years , many of them with full order books but obviously all lacking cash flow to fund the now, never mind the future.
Irrelevant of wether the Company / sole trader got themselves into the position or were forced under due to being a creditor of someone else who failed , ( you could say equivalent of our politics issue or combination of both ) there is generally a reoccurring theme .
That is once the merdi is about to or hits the fan they will do anything to protect THEIR interests and avoid the final reckoning . Tactics used will include hiding assets , transferring them to new companies , going underground , ignore correspondence , make false promises , make false statements , hide money , spin out legals and on and on and on .
Often of course , they put the blame for their situation on some one else , often a director / partner who is no longer about to face the music in person , he’s done a runner .
I obviously have never been involved with a case that involves the politics that this one has , and very clearly those politics have had / continues to have an impact on our past & future situation .
However every thing else we are seeing here re debt avoidance ....nothing new, all par for the course .
Its gone badly wrong for the Company , and it seems they are now / have been , acting as a typical Bob the builder does when he cannot pay his debts .....for whatever reason ......and his creditors generally after many false promises , decide enough is enough .
There may be stuff in the ground , we may still own it , we may not, but one thing is certain , at some point we will run out of options as we cannot avoid the final reckoning with our creditors in the courts indefinitely .
Assuming FRR ( and hopefully shareholders ) still own something of value the only question is do we have enough time before the the rug is pulled .
