No joy for Facia creditors
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Creditors of the collapsed Facia retail group were denied the opportunity to question former directors of the company at a creditors' meeting in Leeds yesterday.
Stephen Hinchliffe, former Facia chairman, did not attend on advice from his lawyer. Christopher Harrison, the former finance director, did attend and chaired the meeting. However, he declined to answer questions.
Around 40 Facia creditors attended the meeting at which BDO Stoy Hayward was appointed liquidator. This was the choice of Sears, whose footwear businesses are a big creditor of the Facia group.
Stoy Hayward was appointed liquidator of Facia and all its subsidiaries including, Contessa, Sock Shop, Oakland Menswear, Red or Dead, Oakland Menswear, Torq Fashion, Salisbury's and Dovetail cabinetmakers.
