Something not right in the fundamentals, the company has reported profits year after year and been paying divis - I'd be asking the statutory auditors a few questions and whether the trustees of the pension fund had an adequate grasp of horizon issues.

.... and not just the dividends, they actually changed the rules governing the bonuses paid to Directors in 2016, so they are harder to clawback if/when the sh*t hits the fan

At least the chief execs going to pick up his £660 k salary, and paid till October, maybe he could put some in the pot for the people not being paid,,, That's not the chief exec, it's the former chief exec.

Grayling hasn’t caused Carillion to collapse. Management over stretching the company and poor payment from Middle East contracts eroding cash flow appear to have done most of the damage. Carillion would have had to make guarantees about their financial stability when entering into tenders for contracts and these would, in all probability, would have to backed up with statements or guarantees from banks or credit rating agencies. If Carillion satisfied these items of a tender with credible evidence, why is Grayling to blame? Your statement appears politically driven rather than a fair assessment of the situation. Grayling is not too blame for the collapse but why was his department still awarding them large contracs following the profits warning in July 17. Theresa will once again pay a visit to her magic money tree. Ultimatly the public sector will once again take the hit to pick up the mess left by greedy capitalists (feel like I'm channelling the ghost of Gusset).
I have prepared one of my own time capsules. I have placed some rather large samples of dynamite, gunpowder and nitroglycerin. My time capsule is set to go off in the year 3000. It will show them what we are really like. |

Agreed. Definitely have sympathy with the point that dividends were being paid when there was a black hole...so what role did the Finance Director have in this? You can't blame the shareholders..

A profits warning is not necessarily a precursor that the company will collapse. Assuming the due diligence was done and Carillion produced evidence of financial stability, then how could Grayling of possibly known about the underlying issues in the company? Surely ire should be directed at the civil service? They would be the one’s doing the due diligence. Edited by matt_himself (16 Jan 2018 6.28pm)

Big Q's outside Battersea Power Station this morning as it is a 'Carrillion' run site. I only deal with Careys/Keltbray/Maylim/Blu-3 on this site. The FLO/NLE site is not effected, not is the FLO/Tideway site the other side. Gonna be interesting when 33 Nine Elms Lane finally opens next month. American Embassy for those that don't know
This operation, will make the 'Charge Of The Light Brigade' seem like a simple military exercise. |
