CUK and Gorilla Accounting

Re SJD owning CUK, I recall I said that on here a year or two ago and got my post edited and a polite slapped wrist PM telling me it wasn't true. I must've read it somewhere though, so evidently I'm not the only one who somewhere along the lines had misunderstood SJD's (possibly non-existent) involvement.

From what I can recall the speculation was not that SJD owned CUK but its former owner, Simon Dolan. All should be revealed soon however, the new law requiring companies to declare who owns a company is now in force and I think all has to be revealed to Companies House. As there is potential jail for offenders I presume there are not many who will not comply.

A couple of months later we got a bunch of letters through the post to our clients (where we're registered office address) saying words to the effect of "we know you're with SJD and they've just hiked their prices, why not come to us." Naturally I was slightly less impressed by this. Raised questions in my mind as to where they got their marketing data from, and also how good it was (at least one of those clients left SJD to join us a whopping 5 years earlier). I also think whilst there's nothing illegal about it, stating negative stuff about a competitor in your own marketing material leaves a bit of a sour taste in my mouth.

I've had those letters and I also left SJD almost 5 years ago. I agree with you: the negative nature of their marketing would put me off and even though it was incorrect it also felt like a bit of an intrusion.

Actually, the directors, secretary, associated companies and the company address are all interesting in their own way. It will also be interesting to see what further information comes into the public domain in due course.

The shareholder will be an LLP whose owners are offshore companies belonging to the true owner. Since they're registered in Panama, all should be revealed shortly.

I'm with Gorilla and very happy, I just don't band it about all the time because I think it's pathetic how much some people (ahem) blatantly chase referral bonuses for things

Anyone who trusts anything they get from CUK forums is asking for trouble. You get what you pay for.

The only thing pathetic is the fact you can't post a single thing without having a dig and often failing miserably resulting in you looking like an even bigger pillock.

I had a joke with MS and TF over the referral bonus for IPSE for a bit and it's over. Get over it. If anyone asks what is the best for (X) I'll tell them. You might notice this month is the first time I've ever put forward a referral code for IPSE or QDOS, I've never done when I was SJD and I don't remember telling many people to mention me when calling Gorilla. Can't see how that is blatantly chasing referrals.

How about actually posting something useful rather than sniping and trolling you ******* pillock.

P.s FYI in 7 years and 23k posts I've got 1 referral. Way to go me and my blatant referral chasing.
