It is true to my knowledge that 2 post holders were removed from the HGFC/FAW (soon to be Westbeach) staff. But this in a least one case was due to misconduct to a significant level.
Strange again a new poster claims to have intimate knowledge of a company. Including disciplinary history of staff.

Regarding the unpaid wages at flight academy wolverhampton that is a historic situation that took place even before the present owners were in place, when it was still owned by Flight academy Blackpool.
The current owners took over Flight Academy (Wolverhampton) in August 2011, the instructors left over wage issues in Feb 2012. The new owner was legally obligated in respect of the wages.

I can also advise you that invoices are headed HGFC and FAW as the company has operated as 2 companies up to this point
So who was the registered training organisation?

I have had reason to use the companies services myself and have consulted my archived invoices to establish this fact.
So on one hand you have intimate knowledge of all manner of internal issues at the company and on the other you claim to have used the companies services yourself. WHICH is it? I have never been as a customer to a company and experienced such incredible disclosure.

You can be assured I would be the first to distance myself from a dubious operator due to my position
And what position would that be?

This thread does nothing but pointlessly and unfairly damage the image of EGBO and a operator attempting to form a useful enterprise.
A few points to ponder:
What exactly does 'voluntarily suspended' mean?

An action volunteered to whom?


If entering the building just which of the dizzying myriad of companies is actually training me?


Is it the name on the door, or the invoice or the credit/debit slip?


Why would I as a trainee pilot or PPL being paying a care home?


If for any reason I have a dispute which company is it actually with?


Why might my money going somewhere else entirely when I key my PIN into the PDQ machine?


If Instructors appear to have had their TUPE rights ignored during the dance of Companies House what chance do I have if I perceive a problem?
So how do you know that its damaging EGBO? It may be doing exactly the opposite, that is protecting the innocent supplier (such as mechanics, the airfield itself, or the customers)

I strongly suggest that you are heavily involved with all three companies.

Should anyone wanting to buy services from any of the three companies then caution should be made and check that the company providing the service is the company you pay and who gives you a receipt.
