            Maybe it's because they have decided to learn and move on.

                Well given that the bulk of the relevent posts in this thread were made back in 2009 you are a little late to the party.

                You could start by explaining why the Von Essen partnership is shown as Dissolved as of 10/5/2011.

                That kind of thing tends to make people twitchy when you are holding their cash.

                  I have no knowledge of any company called Von Essen Partnership but will do some investigation and report back. Von Essen is a company, not a partnership, incorporated in Switzerland.

                    I have now completed my investigations. The entity you mention was formed in 2009 for a specific purpose. Since it was dormant and un-used it was dissolved as is best practice in corporate administration. I hope that this answers the query satisfactorily but feel free to message me if you need further information.

                    I have also been asked about Von Essen Hotels. Von Essen Consulting has no connection of any kind with the hotel group.

                    Von Essen Hotels which runs 28 luxury hotels has gone into administration. Administrators at Ernst & Young are trying to find buyers. Barclays and Lloyds Banking Group reportedly appointed administrators after the five-star hotel group breached a covenant regarding minimum payments of interest. Banks can appoint an administrator if they hold a qualifying floating charge under new debentures granted after 15th September 2003. If the bank holds an older debenture it can appoint an Administrative Receiver. But it should be pointed out that the administrator has a duty to act in the interests of all creditors not just on behalf of the bank/floating charge holders.

                    Angela Swarbrick, joint administrator at Ernst & Young, said: "It is business as normal for the hotels and customers of von Essen Hotels can continue to enjoy their stay." The hotels themselves have not gone into administration.

                      and what pray tell - was the "specific purpose"...and why would you need to complete an investigation of an internal matter? Surely a cup of coffee and quick natter would suffice, seeing as you are a member of the senior management team and people should really be returning your phone calls.
