TIM ALLAN - Tax

All round cowboy builder Tim Allan has been a very naughty boy. SIPit Scotland was put into liquidation by HMRC and evidently unpaid tax was the key factor. We have been informed that he has been doing a Craig Whyte recently - that is deducting PAYE and NI from his employees over the last few years but not passing it on to the taxman. He had quite a few employees so it'll be a tidy sum defrauded from HMRC. For those of you who have not heard of Craig Whyte he is the man who bought and broke Rangers FC - another thoroughly dodgy character.

Be interesting to see HMRC vs TIM ALLAN /SIP Construction Company as a parallel prosecution to the Rangers case. The main difference is that Rangers have assets. Mr Allan made sure he had none so his creditors get nothing. Mind you the satisfaction of his wife Catriona and daughters having to visit him in Barlinnie would only be a pyrrhic victory. We're still wondering why he didn't get disqualified as a Director years ago.

Development isn't necessarily progress

In this post modern era, one of the biggest mistakes we get suckered on is the idea that 'modernisation', 'change' or 'development' represent progress. There is very little correlation between development and progress. However we can announce that progress has been made, in a very simple way, as we have planted over 100 trees on the plot, some as hedging, some as coppice and some fruit trees. Jayne's grandson Rowan is eight weeks old and has had a tree planted for every week of his age.

In the next two weeks, we'll have a lot of the missing components for our house kit and have commissioned some missing SIP panels too. That too is progress.

TIM ALLAN - SIP builder

We keep hearing more horror stories about folk who have had very negative business dealings with this smooth tongued scouser. Unsurprisingly he has still not contacted us as his role as director would have required, and in our experience, is an entirely unfit person to be permitted to have been the director of any company.

I've even had the director of SIP PMC - his current outfit- on the phone asking me to remove all mention of SIP PMC from this blog as they are 'entirely unconnected' with Tim Allan.

Sorry, but you have decided to employ him knowing his track record and, as I was informed, are a creditor of his last failed company. Well SIP PMC, you will be judged on the character of the people you choose to employ. If you want to risk your business by being associated with TIm Allan then it is a business risk you have chosen, and not one chosen for you - unlike the fraud he perpetrated on us.

Anyone reading the various review sites will have come to the same conclusions as us about this outfit.
They are very dodgy in their trading practices and came within 24hrs of having civil proceedings instigated by us - as we only got our refund at the very last moment. We had to cancel our debit card as they had the details.
