I must have missed the info about him doing it before. Can somebody point me in the right direction?

Somewhere up thread someone said he had previously had a company doing hampers, but had had a break due to 'illness'. He started back up earlier in 2012.

I'll have a look and see if I can find it.

Actually if you're looking, you should be looking for the right thing. Neil and his wife Caroline were previously directors of a gift hamper business that went bust owing around £7000. It was their website that said about coming back to hampers after a break for illness. More bullsh-it.

Thank you. It was the "going bust owing £7k" bit I was wondering about.

Sorry, I misunderstood. I don't recall the going bust before bit - where did that come from?

I'm looking for it now. It was posted ages ago, before Christmas I believe. There is a link to the details of the defunct company which if I remember rightly didn't have "hampers" anywhere in the name of the company.

Tiniest bit about all this in mirror yesterday

I did email them, twice, so I'm glad they said something. Shame they didn't pick up on it earlier though and actually investigate.

Can't find the post but once I'd remembered he had spelt Neill with two 'l's in his first [STRIKE]con[/STRIKE] venture, it was easy to Google a link to the failed company.
