Ceased Director: John Edward CLANCY

64 Khyber Pass Road, Grafton, Auckland, 1023, NZ [Note: This has never been Clancy’s residential address]

Earlier that day John Edward Clancy of 87 Byron Street, Sydenham, Christchurch 8023, uploaded a “Consent and certificate of director” form onto the Companies Office website at 9.46:07 am on 12 June 2015 which states that “Riani Suhandi“, whose residential address he gave as “Flat 8, 126 Nursery Rd, Linwood, Christchurch 8011, NZ“, was appointed by him as fellow director of Future Proof Building – effective 1 May 2015.

Two seconds later at 9.46:09 he filed a “Particulars of Director” form providing the same residential address for Riani Suhandi as shown on the Consent certificate which had been signed by this newly appointed director on 11/06/15. On that same “Particulars” form Clancy stated that Suhandi had been appointed by him as director on 1/05/15.  This date was consistent with the appointment date on the Certificate of Consent Rihandhi signed on 11/06/15. There is no other document relating to Suhandi filed prior to 12 June 2015.

John Clancy and Global Developments 511 Madras Street Ltd (In Liquidation)

by Leave a Comment

Global Developments 511 Madras Street Ltd (Co. No. 4910399) directed by John Edward Clancy was put into liquidation on 10 July 2015 by the Auckland High Court. The company owes the council $35,416 for a building consent and the council spent another $2000 putting the company into liquidation. The incorporation of the company on 22 January 2014 involved the submission of allegedly fraudulent documents to the Companies Office by the director John Edward Clancy via his accountant Richard Townsend Sommerville (Walker Townsend Ltd). [Note: SPCS has filed a formal complaint to the Companies Office].

See: http://www.stuff.co.nz/the-press/business/70245599/troubled-global-group-costs-christchurch-city-council-another-37000

The signatures entered on the Director’s Certificate and Shareholder’s Certificate, purporting to be that of John Clancy do not match in any way his signatures on other documents he has filed in the incorporation of a range of other companies he directs.

For example the signature he used incorporating the company Global Developments (New Zealand) Ltd (now in liquidation and renamed Derby Grey Ltd, do not match those filed for Global Developments 511 Ltd.

Examples of numerous alleged document fraud from the Companies Office website www.companies.govt.nz relating to John Edward Clancy.

John Clancy: Troubled Global group costs Christchurch City Council another $37,000

by 4 Comments

A building group that has already cost the Christchurch City Council $166,000 owes it another $37,000.

The council last week wrote off $165,831 owed by Global Developments (New Zealand) Ltd (now in liquidation and renamed Derby Grey Ltd) for development contributions on 12 units in Worcester St, Linwood.

Housing New Zealand (HNZ) bought the units last year for $4 million.

Global Developments is part of the Global Homes Group connected to Auckland businessman John Edward Clancy.

English-born John Edward Clancy heads a troubled building group in Christchurch

The council has now liquidated another company in the group. Global Developments 511 Madras Street Ltd was put into liquidation on July 10 by the High Court in Auckland

The company owes the council $35,416 for a building consent and the council spent another $2000 putting the company into liquidation………

In addition, the Companies Office has started an investigation into allegations Global company documents submitted for registration in the Companies office are incorrect.

Under the Companies Act, directors and shareholders must give their correct residential addresses for certain documents.

Clancy appears to have entered the address of his business premises as his residential address. His Auckland accountant, Richard Somerville, who is a director of a trustee company holding shares in the Global group, appears to have done the same.

Somerville said he was vacating his role with the Global group and would be approaching the Companies Office about the alleged irregularities.

Clancy could not be contacted.

A spokesman for the Companies Office said the allegations about the document irregularities made by the Society for the Promotion of Community Standards [“SPCS”] were being investigated.

“Where non-compliance is identified the Companies Office undertakes administrative action to obtain compliance,” he said.

Prosecution would be considered in exceptional cases, the spokesman said.

John Clancy claims on his current LinkedIn Profile that he is:

Owner, Global Group Holding NZ Ltd

New Zealand, Construction

Current: Global Homes Ltd

Experience: Owner – Global Homes Ltd

https://nz.linkedin.com/pub/john-clancy/2b/851/941

THESE CLAIMS ARE ALL FALSE

John Clancy

(Photo Source: https://nz.linkedin.com/pub/john-clancy/2b/851/941 )

Companies Office Records show that there has never been a company by this name “Global Group Holding NZ Ltd” registered in New Zealand.

However there is one company called Global Group Holdings NZ Ltd (Co. No. 2314973) that was incorporated on 8 September 2009. Its founding sole director was John Edward Clancy who remains its sole director.

See: John Clancy Global Group Holdings NZ

His residential address is recorded on the company’s 2015 Annual Return filed by his accountant Richard Somerville (Walker Townsend Ltd) as 91 Kingsley Street, Sydenham, Christchurch, 8023, New Zealand.  This is a false residential address as the property is in a commercial-business zone (classed non-residential).

Companies Office records show that Global Group Holdings NZ Ltd (Co. No. 2314973) has been owned by a Trust – set up by Richard Townsend Somerville’s trustee service company Clancy Trustee Company Ltd (formerly called Somerville Gp Trustee Co. Ltd, since 30 November 2011.

The Trust has two trustees: John Edward Clancy and his wife Youngmee Clancy – both recorded as currently residing at 91 Kingsley Street, Sydenham 8023, New Zealand (which as noted is a false residential address).

Contrary to his claim, John Edward Clancy does not personally own Global Group Holding NZ Ltd (which does not exist as noted), nor Global Group Holdings NZ Ltd. The latter entity is owned jointly by a Trust of which John Edward Clancy is one of two trustees, both holding shares on behalf of beneficiaries (unnamed on the register). Clancy Trustee Company is the other joint owner (with the Trust) and its director – Richard Somerville – holds one share. This company’s registered office and address for service is Level 5, 64 Khyber Pass Rd, Grafton, Auckland, 1023 , New Zealand.

John Edward Clancy owned Global Group Holdings NZ Ltd from 8 September 2009 when the company was incorporated until 30 November 2011, at which time ownership was transferred to the Trust as noted above.

See: https://www.business.govt.nz/companies/app/ui/pages/companies/2314973/shareholdings?backurl=%2Fcompanies%2Fapp%2Fui%2Fpages%2Fcompanies%2Fsearch%3Fmode%3Dstandard%26type%3Dentities%26q%3DGlobal%2520Group%2520Holdings%2520NZ%2520Ltd

John Edward Clancy claims he is currently an owner and director of Global Homes Ltd. He incorporated this company (No. 2280020) on 8 July 2009 and remains its sole director. He changed its name to LF Holdings Ltd on 28 May 2014. He currently owns (individually) only 5% of the company shares. The remaining 95% he holds jointly as a trustee of the “Clancy Trust” which was set up by his accountant Richard Townsend Somerville. Clancy Trustee Company Ltd, owned and directed by Richard Somerville, is a trustee of the “Clancy Trust”, along with John Clancy and his wife Youngmee Clancy.

FALSE CLAIMS  – Re: “Global Group New Zealand Ltd”

New Zealand Companies Office Records prove there never has been a NZ registered company called “Global Group New Zealand Ltd“.  However, two companies have been named “Global Group NZ Ltd” :

  • Global Group NZ Ltd – Co. No. 1795177 that was incorporated on 28 March 2006, but was struck off the register of companies on 23 July 2008 (at least five months before Clancy claims he began working (January 2009) as an “Operations Manager” for the non-existent “Global Group New Zealand” ! Co. No. 1795177 had three Korean directors: Seong Woo Cho, Geong Sik Lee and Hyung Kuen Son. Geong Sik Lee owned all the company shares.
  • Global Group NZ Ltd – Co. No. 5286701 that was incorporated on 23 June 2014 and which remains on the Register. This company has no involvement with the building construction business whatsoever.

Other than the two listed above, no other companies have been incorporated in NZ with the same name..

The list of “responsibilities” Clancy states he performed as Operations Manager of a non-existent limited liability company, is open to serious challenge.

CLAIMS Re: Masters Degree 

John Clancy claims to have a Master’s degree in Business Administration and Management at Paramount California University awarded in December 2014.

Lieff Cabraser Legal has been investigating allegations that Paramount California University (PCU) is a diploma mill, issuing worthless degrees to American and international students.

See: http://www.lieffcabraser.com/Case-Center/Paramount-California-University-Fake-Diploma-Fraud.shtml?gclid=CNKvgO6Y2cYCFRJxvAodpOsJ3g

The PCU website (http://www.pcu.edu/) has been shut down due to the online degree scam findings and the fact that the ‘University’ has no accreditation.

In order for accreditation to have any meaning, it is important that  an online college’s accrediting agency be recognized by the Council on  Higher Education Accreditation (CHEA) or the U.S. Department of  Education.

PCU’s claimed accreditation on the CHEA website is false. Its claim to have received a Bronze level award from the USDLA is false as it is not on the USDLA website.

See: http://www.geteducated.com/forum/5-online-college-accreditation/1727-paramount-california-university

John Clancy also claims on his Profile that he has been:

General Manager – Operations

at JEC Joinery Installations Ltd. / Linear Installations

Location: New Zealand
Company Industry: Construction
Job Role: Management
July 1984 – July 1991

Interior construction and fit out company. Based in Burton on Trent with assembly plant in Bolton England) and manufacturing facility in Nigeria.

Key Project to Credit:
• Handled Projects with budgets in excess of 500,000 UK Pounds.

CLAIMS QUESTIONED.

No company by the name “JEC Joinery Installations Ltd” has ever been registered in New Zealand based on Companies Office records.

Prior to coming to New Zealand Clancy was involved in failed companies in the UK. A Director’s Report based on his registered UK address, states:

JOHN EDWARD CLANCY 903673208 Registered Address: 34 The Maltings, Elton Close, Burton Upon Trent, Staffordshire, DE14 2SU

Director Overview John Clancy holds 0 appointments at 0 active companies, has resigned from 1 companies and held 4 appointments at 3 dissolved companies. John is not registered as holding any current appointments. The combined cash at bank value for all businesses where John holds a current appointment equals £0, with a combined total current assets value of £0 and total current liabilities of £0. Roles associated with John Clancy within the recorded businesses include: Director, Company Secretary

So what level of quality due diligence did officials at Housing NZ undertake before awarding contracts to John Clancy directed companies to rebuild housing in Christchurch followingt he earthquakes there?

Very little it would seem.

The Christchurch Press reported on 12 April 2014: “John Clancy, of Global Group, which has built apartments in Riccarton … is doing more in Linwood, Waltham and Edgeware.”

See: http://www.stuff.co.nz/the-press/business/your-property/9933798/Development-levies-add-up-to-45k-to-new-homes

The Press reported on 21 May 2014 that John Clancey’s ….

“Global Group has built 38 Christchurch apartments in 10 months and will add another 100 in the next year.”

See: http://www.stuff.co.nz/the-press/news/10065962/Slow-consents-anger-industry

Housing New Zealand officials will no doubt try and play down the financial debacle that is unfolding in Christchurch involving companies directed by John Edward Clancy, arguing that only a tiny fraction of the total houses rebuilt involve him and/or his companies. Already one of his companies involved in the rebuild has been put into liquidation owing over one million dollars to creditors
