Facts, ken?
I agree facts are important so let's get them right. As of July 2023 (latest filed information with Companies House) Stewart Milne Group Holdings Limited, the ultimate parent company of everything that has gone bust stated that it was controlled by (owned more than 75%) one Stewart Milne Esq. He was attempting to sell his shares in the business but had failed to do so.

I have no idea what he did or did not try to do to keep it in business but obviously his low ball offer to the bank was of no interest to them
