One way to get a round in
A pub boss who owned a Lake District pub where you could pay for your pint with vegetables or labour in the garden has been banned from being a director after running companies under TWELVE barred names.
Business Live previously reported how Hannon and his firm Coastal and Country Inns took over the Hare and Hounds pub in the Lake District in early 2020. The pub featured a barter board on the wall showing the price of a pint - that could be bought in return for labour in the garden or local produce such as winter greens, potatoes or carrots.
Despite this, Hannon continued to be the director of 12 companies called 'Coastal' or 'Country' - seven of which were set up after the Creditors' Voluntary Liquidation came into force. Nicola Daley, defending Hannon, said while her client had failed to address everything that he should have as a director, this was not a case of dishonesty to avoid financial obligations.
"He knows he will now be prohibited from being a company director for a period of time. That doesn't mean that he is simply intent on perhaps going back and relying on benefits. He wants to continue to work but work also in the appropriate way."
