The staff keep getting told by one of the main investors and the finance manager that the company is winding itself up and that a liquidator has been appointed etc. We're only getting this information by phoning up and pestering people. However, there seems to be no real movement week after week and there has been no formal communication with any of the employees, including a P45. It's bad enough that no-one was paid and the company ceased operation, but to then ignore the staff afterwards is terrible.
The ex-CEO's petition to wind up the company IS scheduled to be heard next Friday and is advertised in the London Gazette as mentioned above.
