Two Leamington Spa businesses liqudated
Two Leamington Spa-based companies have been ordered into liquidation in the High Court on grounds of public interest. It follows an investigation by company investigations section of the Insolvency Service.
The service said Online Staffing Limited and Recruitment Web Solutions Limited describe their business as recruitment specialists in advertising the latest job opportunities in nursing, healthcare and education.
The investigation found there was no legitimate business carried on by either company.
Registrar Barber, who made the liquidation order, said at court: "The information obtained by the investigator suggests that the companies have been used as vehicles for fraud by passing themselves off as reputable recruitment advertising organisations in a bid to procure contracts with the advertiser and subsequently seek payment for their purported services."
Company Investigations supervisor Chris Mayhew added: "The action we have taken against these and similar companies sends a clear and simple message that the Insolvency Service is determined to clamp down on unscrupulous companies and ensure that those who run companies in this way do not get away with it."
The sole recorded director of both companies was Sharon Downes.
