It would seem much of what has been reported here is supposition and hearsay …….. why has no one mentioned that these companies were never run by the director himself but by a team of highly paid professional staff including a very highly paid General Manager an Operations Manager a Financial Controller and all other offshoot companies having its own General manager in place????? is there not some culpability with these individuals? Although it seems the director should have had more input, it would be interesting to see where this went wrong initially and what the GM and FC did to handle the issues before it became such a mess. As a sub contractor and creditor, I never met the director only his staff members who employed my company.

Although Mr Clancy was director, his appointed General Manager ran all of these companies with an operations manager in place for the company owing the largest proportion of money to creditors. You would find if you bothered to look that most of the sub trades engaged to work within these companies were engaged by the manager of the particular Global Entity which were run autonomously by each manager and reported directly to the general manager. If you are going to continue to write this stuff, do your homework fully and report the facts not just the easy stuff. So easy to vilify the wrong person.

The Press article this morning refers to Derby Grey Ltd as the company completing Waltham Road for HNZ.
This is incorrect because that company is in Liquidation.
The company is Global Developments
Waltham Ltd.
