I know Chris Hopkins personally and can assure you that the only person Chris Hopkins gives a flying one about is Chris Hopkins, he wont care in the slightest if it takes another company down with him aslong as he doesn't have to now legally pay anything.

How can anyone ever take him serious in business ever again?

I got caught once by Eddie Mitchell who did this legal bankruptcy stunt at least six times with different sets of tradespeople with house building on and around Sandbanks. He just kept getting richer and richer and at least two carpenters I know lost their homes.
He is now the chairman of AFC Bournemouth and lives like a lord.

Eddie Mitchell: a fit and proper chairman for Bournemouth? | Natter Football

it's legal and its the law that needs changing ....

I thought you couldn't be a director of another company if you'd gone bust, it's unbelievable!
Eddie Mitchel, oh yeh, heard of him! He owns the restaurant down Poole Park now, very nice.

Only if you are disqualified by the court. Quite rare and would have to be something really serious.

Thats it then, I'm off to build up a truckload of debt and then go bust!!

So when he says

Ploughcroft Building Services has confirmed that it has entered administration and has been sold to a new company.

The renewable energy installer was sold to Ploughcroft Ltd, which is headed up by the former owner of the business, Chris Hopkins. Mr Hopkins will continue to trade through the new company after having acquired all the company's assets and goodwill.

What he means is me and the misses decided over a bottle of vino to sell it all to ourselves for £1 and let all our employess and suppliers take the hit for our greed.

That is most likely word for word what will of happened, like i say he cares about no one but himself, aslong as he gets his money then so what if the little man loses his house

i dont know how the scumbag sleeps at night

 

[moggy1968]

any way of finding out how many of his previous companies have gone into liquidation.
Disolved may not mean bankrupt, he might have just closed them down.

Nice advertorial, as expected being painted as the victim.

I am seriously concerned we are loosing our competitiveness by sticking to our morals. Looks like we are going to have to put our business head on and do what is best for us in the coming months.

 

[dansk]

lol - thats what i thought - i almost put before the link - dont feel sorry for him.

I heard today that Evo Energy are in the same situation. Yet to find anything on the net about it.

One of the top installers of solar power in the UK, EvoEnergy, has decided to join The Green Deal Finance Company. This comes after they received a £7 million loan from the Department of Energy and Climate Change.

Mr Hopkins said he didn’t know the exact value of the losses that creditors would incur, adding that it is now in the hands of administrators.
that old chestnut again i wonder how many times hes said that? also hes getting publicity which he shouldnt be

 

[dansk]

Its not exactly positive publicity though is it?

 

[matt25]

I hope you guys do bump into him at the next trade fair and let him know, preferably infront of his potential clients, what you think of him

 

[sedgy34]
