My posts have largely been based on information freely available from Companies House. I have properly reported on the affairs of a wine investment company, which has failed to supply wine to some of its investment clients. A company that chose to continue to employ Michael Moore though he faced charges of fraud arising from a previous investment company. <br /><br />Tom White now talks of putting safeguards in place for The MVP Wine Club – Montevino Partners Mark 3. Such safeguards should have been in place from the very beginning.

Tom
Thank you for your response and your email ...<br />Tom <br /><br />Thank you for your response and your email to me today (14.2.17)<br /><br />You accuse me in the email of slander. Slander relates to the spoken word while libel to the written.<br /><br />You accuse me of destroying/ ruining the reputation of Montevino Partners. However, apart from attempting to shift the blame for the failure of both Spirited Ventures Ltd and now Montevino Partners Ltd you have provided no instances of inaccuracies in my post, very largely based on documents filed with Companies House. <br /><br />However, I am certainly prepared to amend anything in the post that is inaccurate. <br /><br />You claim you were not aware of the full seriousness of the charges against Michael Moore. However, as sole director at this time it was your responsibility to ascertain the seriousness of the charges that Moore faced, especially as Montevino Partners was seeking to persuade clients to invest in wine with doubtless many cashing in other savings and investments to pay for wine that in some cases has still not been delivered. <br /><br />I believe in one instance a client of Montevino Partners has had their entire life savings of over £100,000 wiped out. Your company failed to buy this wine – it wasn’t myself. What happened to this money? <br /><br />You suggest that my coverage of Spirited Ventures Ltd being wound up in the High Court in July 2016 on petition of HMRC is somehow inaccurate. How so?<br /><br />You did indeed email me in May 2016 following my first post on Montevino Partners. Your response claimed that Spirited Ventures Ltd originally belonged to ‘Martin and John’ and that ‘we had purchased’ it from them. There is no record at Companies House that Martin was ever a director or shareholder of Spirited Ventures Ltd. <br /><br />John Jeffries did incorporate Spirited Ventures Ltd on 19.7.2013 with £1 share capital. You were appointed director on 19.5.2014 and Jeffries resigned on 28.5.2014. <br /><br />You also claimed Montevino Partners was not a dormant company but instead was active from November 2014:<br /><br />Thomas White: ‘Montevino Partners Limited was registered straight away as we wanted to protect the name at first, but we use MPL as our retail sales outlet and is not dormant as from November 2014 we have held our premises licence and our barclaycard facilities, we have changed offices at end of 2015 and the premise licensing has been reapplied to new premises, I believe we may be late filling our accounts.’<br /><br />If this was the case why were accounts to 30th April 2015 for a dormant company (Montevino Partners Ltd) filed in your name with Companies House on 11th January 2016? <br /><br />On 4th May 2016 I sent you an email covering these and other points but have yet to receive a response.<br /><br />Part of my email of 4th May 2016:<br /><br />‘You say that Montevino Partners Ltd was not dormant from November 2014. However, please see attached the accounts to 30th April 2015 filed with Companies House on 11th January 2016 signed by Thomas White. Your next accounts to 14th April 2016 are due by 12th May 2016. <br /><br />I can find no record at Companies House of Martin Egerton Gill ever being a director or a shareholder of Spirited Ventures Ltd or Montevino Partners Ltd. I would be very grateful if you could please let me know where I can find confirmation that Gill owned Spirited Ventures Ltd.’<br /><br />You now claim that Montevino Partners was ’a good firm early on and was doing some good stuff’. This is not borne out by the sole set of accounts filed for Spirited Ventures Ltd. The accounts to 31.7.2014 showed a loss of £165,000 with £188,069 owed to yourself as a director’s loan. The accounts were file din your name. <br /><br />What was the actual deficiency for Spirited Ventures Ltd when it went into voluntary liquidation in July 2016? Why were private creditors not included? <br /><br />There are substantial wine orders yet to be delivered to clients of Montevino Partners, what happened to private clients money please? <br /><br />What expertise and experience do you have in organising wine events and wine retail that will enable The MVP Wine Club to turnover £1.7 million in its first year. <br /><br />I look forward to your response.<br />Jim's Loirehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06696024920441263899noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1567042805993048802.post-68870181557469269412017-02-14T11:46:51.317+00:002017-02-14T11:46:51.317+00:00Jim,
I have to comment, as once again you are de...Jim, <br /><br />I have to comment, as once again you are destroying more peoples lives.<br />I fully admit we got the call to support Michael during his charge, was in hindsight the wrong decision for the board and myself.<br />But our understanding of the seriousness of that charge was underestimated, the reputational damage you have single handedly done to Montevino had led us to financial collapse, and financial ruin of the shareholders and myself and potential losses to our clients, hope your pleased with yourself.<br />As previously discussed with you the changes required from SVL to MPL, these are well documented and it was voluntary done, not high court as you suggest there was a mix up granted. The Ideas and plans to do other enterprises like the Wine club and retail site called Wine Genie were derailed by the fact we came under fire.<br />I am not perfect as my clients know, I have made mistakes and I'm human but to publish a PB that is confidential must be breaking some legal rules, As I did not send you this.<br />The NewCo we wish to form is to be customer led and put right the wrongs that happened to Montevino, believe it or not we had a good firm early on and was doing some good stuff until the press of my employee's past caused this.<br />I tried to engage with you but your obnoxious behaviour angered me.<br />But you are now potentially going to kill any attempts the clients and I make to rescue this, and I feel thats unfair to the clients and me. If this is not posted as a comment then we know that your integrity is in question, I hope not. <br /><br />Tom WhiteTomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17228446561086447165noreply@blogger.com
