The Company operated in the sales of new and used high performance vehicles.

The Company began to experience financial difficulty in 2021 when the Company’s costs began to fall behind with payments being missed. The Company was also not making payments to the secured creditor Aitch Group and as a consequence of this Aitch Group contacted the Company to ascertain the difficulties that it was facing. Following a review of the Company’s trading records, the director, David Styles, identified certain transactions which have been reported to the police and which are currently under investigation.
