Left Back Posted January 10 Share Posted January 10 2 hours ago, 101 said: I wouldn't buy a house on a building site... Their choice to do so, must have considered the risk, given even if the company stayed in business it would be a building site for a while. No one chooses to lose their job. What about voluntary redindancy? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SMG sold a big part of the business (manufacturing A frames) but kept the development business. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's usually some soulless all-white echoing airplane hangar (see Grand Designs).

At least its not before Christmas. He'll have his new company on the go by mid Feb and most of the workforce will be back in on three quarters of their wages beforehand. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The saddest thing about it is that he somehow got permission to demolish the original house on the site in order to build that monstrosity. If I remember correctly, it was a very nice old building - previously owned by Princess Di’s granny supposedly. The kind of building you can imagine being listed. I wonder how he managed to get the kind of permission that most would be denied? Edited January 10 by Tattie36 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because it was cheap, the Bank kept offering and he kept taking. Then interest rates went up, increasing the debt pile and boom. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
