The administrators of UK employment agency Transline are pursuing debts owed by its directors, reports The Times.  Qualitycourse, trading as Transline, filed for insolvency in 2017 and was then acquired by the Russell Taylor Group with Clare Boardman and Daniel Butters, of Deloitte, being appointed as administrators. Deloitte stated that about £1.3 million is outstanding in directors’ loans, and an overseas related company is being pursued for another £963,000. Deloitte said that it would “continue to pursue the recovery of the directors and related company loan accounts” and added that it was reviewing “whether there are any matters that might lead to a recovery for the benefit of creditors, such as potential claims that may be brought against other parties either connected to or who have had past dealings with the company”. Deloitte has received 113 claims from secured creditors representing £33.5 million, far more than the company’s estimate of £10 million. The collapse of Transline left it owing millions to the HMRC which accounted for the difference in estimates.

Transline ran into difficulty in 2017 after it faced severe criticisim over its provision of temporary worker to Sports Direct.
