There is something not quite right with these companies. Our gut instinct says they need a closer look. So over the next few weeks we will be taking a much closer look at these companies. Whatever we find we will bring you the results.
How could Folkestone & Hythe District Council use companies which had no accounts. The fact that two of these companies had only recently been set up means no real due diligence could be undertaken on either of the companies. Did they just rely on the companies which had been started in 2010? Appears to be the case. Why are HMRC winding up, surely that should put you off immediately. But hey ho, this is Folkestone & Hythe District Council we are talking about.
Also, what other due diligence did the Council undertake? For example, did they check that adequate fire precautions were in place or, whether the companies had appropriate insurance cover in place?
