Plymouth Brethren Church PPE Contracts Thread

This gives an outline of 22 contracts won by the companies that are owned by members of the Plymouth Brethren Church.

The odd one makes sense they supply PPE the majority don't. It also seems odd that they canvass for the Tories!
1) Unispace – £348 million - 3 Contracts. Unispace directors include Charles & Greg Hales as well as Anthony Hazell. Greg is the son of Bruce Hales the worldwide leader of the Brethren.
2) CMT Equipment - £0.9 million – 2 contracts. Anthony Hazell & Greg Hales Directors. As per Unispace. They also won a contract with 4 other suppliers for £204 million – though no breakdown is available to ascertain the value to CMT.
3) Clandeboye Agencies £107.5 million – Nick Walker – Director. Trustee of One Global School Knockloughrim. (Andrew Walker - director formerly Director of Causeway Vision with Garth White of Ascot Signs)
4) Ascot Signs – £2.79 million 2 contracts – Garth White – Director. Trustee of One Global School, Knockloughrim.
5) Tower Supplies £40.5 million 2 contracts – Jonathan Aris – Owner. Trustee of Bournemouth Gospel Hall Trust.
This one makes sense as PPE is their field.
6) Medco Solutions 660k – Ross Robertson – Director. Trustee of Fulmer Education Trust. Originally showing over £10 million. Business with no assets, just started.
7) Blueleaf - £4 million – Charles Campbell – Director. Trustee of Broomhill Trust
8) Techniclean – were awarded 20 mill contract – no longer showing any record??? Director Michael Barter with various links to Brethren.
9) Toffelm - £3.88 million – 3 contracts – Charlie Leflaive. Trustee of Greenfield Gospel Hall Trust
10) Halco Europe £1.6 million – Nigel Haughton - Director. Trustee of Hereford Gospel Trust
11) Oxford Safety Supplies – Along with CID products - £976k. Stuart Robertson Director. Trustee of Lime Walk Gospel Hall
12) CID Products – Along with Oxford Safety Supplies – as above. Jacob Soulsby Director. Trustee of Ashley Gospel Hall.
13) Eastpoint – 546k – Unclear if this is the right Eastpoint? As 2 different companies in Lowestoft. Director David Temple. Graham Temple. Trustee of local Colville Gospel Trust.
14) Denka UK – 349k (plus a share of a further £639k contract) – Director Patrick South. Trustee of Derwent Valley Gospel Hall
15) Streamline Corporate – won share of the 639k contract as per Denka. Graeme Paterson and Paterson family suspect trustees of Kirkcaldy Gospel Hall.
16) Southgate Packaging – 217k. Director Stephen Turner. Trustee of Downham Gospel Trust
17) Oska Care – 700k. Director Garry Critchley also a director of the Plymouth Brethren church

18) Orcagel – 416k. Director Garth Woodcock also a director of OskaCare and an array of other Unispace businesses
19) Lion Safety – 418k. Director Roger Lewis – suspected links to both Gospel Hall in Grangemouth and through former director Kevin Michel to Perth Gospel Hall
20) Accora – 248k. Director Timothy Drake. Trustee of Causeway Gospel Trust. Anthony Drake trustee of The Mowbray Gospel Trust.
21) Agile Medical £18.48 million – Director Christopher Glass is also trustee of Haven Gospel Hall Trust.

I wonder if they supply Grimsby Town Bobble hats!

🧵Robert Jenrick donation from The Spott Fitness, linked to Centrovalli Ltd, BVI.
It is interesting for a number of reasons.

Centrovalli were linked to registered charges previously with a series of charges all going to Cordant Group PLC. A company that went into administration
Centrovalli according to the administrator are likely to only receive 10-12% back of the £6 million of charges with Cordant.

Cordant Group PLC major shareholder was Phillip Ullman. A major donor to The New Conservatives Ltd. The Danny Kruger, Mirian Cates group. Image
Ullman is a regular writer in the Telegraph, and appears on Talk TV as well. I would say his immigration views appear to match with Jenrick.

Kruger is backing Jenrick for leader.

If you dig deeper then you will find a lot of links to Blue Labour and Baron Glasman

🧵The Australian Tax Office (ATO) raid on the Plymouth Brethren offices in Sydney.

I am informed this involved 25+ investigators from the ATO. They were there from Tuesday 19th March. They have taken away computers, phones.

Brethren companies won £3 billion of Covid contract.
I believe ATO visited 12 brethren linked premises as part of this unannounced raid.

In response to the Sydney Morning Herald brethren spokesman Merrick Lloyd Grimshaw said "the church does not operate any businesses or occupy offices at the location where the ATO has visited”.
Grimshaw (sometimes known as Lloyd sometimes as Merrick) just happens to be director of the following brethren charities PBCC Services PTY Ltd, Rapid Relief Team (RRT) Ltd and the Plymouth Brethren Christian Church.

Covid Contract Profits 🧵No 1

There are 6 companies that DHSC/UKHSA/SCCL spent more than £1 billion with during the Covid pandemic

This thread looks at the profit of 5 of the 6. I am missing information around Full Support Healthcare
These five companies are:

Innova spend over £5.2 billion for testing
Uniserve spend £1.3 billion for PPE & logistics
Life Technologies spend £1.2 billion for testing
Serco spend £1.1 billion for various Covid services
Tanner Pharma spend £1 billion for testing
Innova Medical Group (IMG) supplied Lateral flow tests & in total DHSC & UKHSA spent over £5.2 billion on these tests!
I do not have the breakdown of the company accounts as they are a US based business. What I can show though is how some of the profits have been spent
