Good work from @FT

“Some significant deals have not yet been made public despite the coronavirus procurement rules stating that departments must publish a contract award notice within 30 days of its agreement”
(EG Nightingale Hospitals & contact tracing contract)
DHSC awarded 4 of the largest contracts for Covid-19 testing services, inc
£151m to Hologic Ltd
£133m to Randox Laboratories (Owen Patterson)
£64m to Life Technologies
The companies were recruited to supply materials & training to medical laboratories & to test key workers
The PestFix Contract for PPE is a puzzling award. Not sure if their expertise in PPE.

There are two Pest Fix companies in Companies House.

Same Directors for both. Looks likely father and son from years of birth,

John and Matthew England
One is Pest Fix Contracts Ltd and it really doesn’t seem to be too busy.

In fact it looks as if it might be in debt overall.

Now why would the Government award it a contract of that size?
Extermination and disinfectant services
Disinfecting?

Maybe it was the other Pest Fix?
Nope.

Pest Fix Ltd is even worse. Same directors and address.

Only ever filed dormant accounts. Even less busy. Doing nothing.

Files accounts. £2

Two £1 shares.

Zero
Yet it was awarded a contract for the “supply and delivery of £109 million worth of PPE.

I’m surprised that passed even basic due diligence. Especially for something so crucial.

What PPE exactly.
In fact it looks as if there has been a very recent shifting around of control in the England family who have started a series of companies in April and May this year between them, in addition to a couple of existing v. small operations, and 1 bigger more successful company
The oldest and most successful company in the family is
CRISP WEBSITES LTD. Started Nov 2002.

Directors
Daniel England (DOB 1972- Engineer)
Matthew England ( DOB 1976 - software engineer)
Joseph England (DOB Oct 1942 - Engineer - resigned May 2020)
Terry Burrows ( DOB */9/1979)
Terry Burrows has just been appointed seemingly to replace Joseph England.

He describes himself as “Managing Director”
But Daniel England became the person with significant control in May 2020.

901 shares divided between Joseph, Linda and Matthew in 2015.

Has that changed?
But, unlike all the other companies, including whichever was awarded that surprising multi million £ Gov contract, it actually makes some money and has both assets and more assets than liabilities.
The next oldest company is Bird-X Ltd. Formed in 2008

Joseph John England
Matthew John England
Daniel England all shareholders but just Joseph & Matthew Directors.

Last filed accounts suggested it had a £9,398 balance
Now a series of companies being formed in 2020

Radiant Holdings Ltd (April 2020) with Daniel and Matthew England as shareholders (500 £1 shares each) and Directors
Dragon Industry Investments Ltd. Inc May 2020

Daniel and Matthew England.

Some sort of Holding Company.
Maxtoro Ltd Inc May 2020

David England
Yuan England (10 years younger than Daniel - wife?)

That is a lot of activity in April May 2020 following the award of the multi million £ PPE contact to a pretty penniless company with the same family.
A correction re Pest Fix Contracts Ltd.

Whilst Joseph & Matthew England are Directors of dormant Pest Fix Ltd (£2 balance sheet)

It is Daniel & Joseph England who are the Directors of Pest Fix Contracts Ltd, Matthew having resigned some years ago.

Daniel majority shareholder
