Overview

  • Administrators’ Companies House filings list HMRC as a creditor for £39,009,047.78.
  • The Department of Health and Social Care is claiming about £148m, reflecting interest at 8% on the £122m gown payment ordered repaid after the High Court ruling.
  • The statement of affairs shows roughly £951,000 in total assets, with about £673,000 estimated for unsecured creditors.
  • Total reported debts are about £188m, while administrators say they may pursue recovery from unnamed third parties.
  • Filings indicate a secured Isle of Man creditor linked to Doug Barrowman could be repaid in full, as the company remains in administration following the September 30 appointment.
