Wiltshire police have just posted on their FB page about a chap who ran these companies. I understand that he was nothing to do with Bloomfields Horseboxes in Nottinghamshire.
He was the Bloomfields agent for the South so they must have been aware. They would have dealt with him and didn't do their due diligence very well before awarding him the contract. They also knew he had financial problems 2 years ago but didn't act.
