Director Disqualification Orders start on Simon Ford and Paul Ford on 29th January 2015 and started on Simon Earl on 23rd October 2014.

First he rips hundreds of clients off in Vinance by never actually purchasing any wine for their money then when that goes south goes on to found Electus wines to presumably rip some more people off. And stating that his Vinance past is of no interest to new clients... I'm speechless.<br /><br />Hope no one makes the mistake of investing with this dodgy individual againAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1567042805993048802.post-62453705376651406852014-11-10T13:10:58.175+00:002014-11-10T13:10:58.175+00:00Jim,

I find it quite mesmerizing that he would set up a new wine business just weeks after the spectacular bust of Vinance - I'm glad you reported it and I hope this post will serve as a warning to any potential investors.<br /><br />I had the displeasure of dealing with Simon Ford for an extended time after the Vinance debacle, trying to salvage my investment. Our 'relationship' has gone through several stages - begining from him ignoring any of my attemps to contact him, to being very aggressive and unprofessional when pressed.<br /><br />To any potential customer (in Asia, North America or Africa) : Avoid at all cost!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
