Blue Motor Finance in Administration

If it becomes clear that there are sufficient assets to raise funds to pay the minor creditors, then they will. If there are not, then it will be a very different letter. Plus, as everything is on hold still, there is no hurry for them to do anything. They have more pressing matters to deal with.

the whole administration of BMF stinks IMO.
they go into administration and the very same day a pre-pack administration process by Hodge Bank is completed acquiring the operating business and assets.
seems rather quick and suggests, IMO, that this was pre-planned for BMF to continue (albeit under a new business) without any of the liabilities they have. it's been reported they've been losing money for years, and this compensation claim process was the final nail in the coffin.0 -
Hu? You understand how companies work? Their shareholders, potentially including their directors (though they will be minority shareholders as is owned by a larger corporate entity) have lost all the value they held in the insolvency.
The new owner, hodge bank, is predomaintely owned by a charitable foundation and so if they do turn it around the majority of profits will go to cancer research and welfare support as the foundation owns 75% of organisation
The directors, probably transferred now, are probably not going to be in their jobs too long given they oversaw the failure of the company but are needed initially for continuity
Really not sure what clandestine activities you think were going on? Hodge was a creditor to BMF so knew the business. They took the opportunity to buy the good bits when the business failed. Administrators didnt think they could achieve a better price, factoring in cost of selling it, plus its an unrelated party so the deal happened. The insolvent company now has more monies to pay towards its creditors.
