Sorry but that is simply not correct. I was at 501 the morning that PWC were appointed - it was Wednesday, 12 September. I can remember hearing about the Twin Towers at lunch time that day and then watching the TV coverage that afternoon at home (quite a few of us went for a stroll that afternoon). PWC subsequently ordered operations
to cease at 2.00am on Friday, 14 September.
On the following Monday, the 17th, at the behest of the union, PWC got rissoled and Arthur Andersen was appointed. They reversed the cease operation and reverted to a trade on administration. The two Marks, who were the Andersen's administrators appointed, then decided to rissole Andersen and strike out on their own.
