Mad that they can just spunk a load of someone else’s money down the pan, and can then instantly start up again in a new guise with no repercussions.

Just happened to the company where my friend works too

The bosses said to the staff that they transferred to the new company “it’s ok the old company only owes money to the bigger suppliers and they all have Insurance to cover this”.

As if that makes it ok.

I know for a fact they fucked over a number of the small suppliers too.

Agreed. Amazon/starbucks/pret/name a s**t load of big businesses f**k our entire economy with tax loopholes and we’re all here getting angry about 200 grand or whatever whilst sipping on a Starbucks flat white and ordering more detailing products from Amazon.

Have you seen that autobrite direct Ireland have bought the 'interlectual property' along with supply connections but nothing to do with the original business so still a loss for everyone else who was owed orders/ money/ loyalty points?

Autobrite fans are lapping it up because they will still be able to buy the products but some people arent happy still.

Also find it funny that the Moss Chem stuff is just the AB stuff relabled so is the new AB Ireland just moss chem relabled
