The Judgement

Unwin, signed a 10 year disqualification undertaking, while Ibbotson

signed a seven-year disqualification. Greenwood, was earlier also
banned for nine years.

These bans on acting as company directors would be effective from
November 2013. The undertakings prevent the men from being involved
directly or indirectly in the promotion, formation or management of a
company for the duration of their bans.

It was revealed by the BBC’s Inside Out West Midlands programme that
Unwin had received a 12-month suspended sentence in 2002 after
selling £1.2m worth of construction plant that was not his. The
programme also uncovered the fact that 30 other firms run by Unwin had
gone into administration or liquidation.

In June 2009 the Tamar Group itself went into administration.
