Something is afoot with AML/Knox

[WTFH]

I don't have any details yet, but something is going on, and when it involves these guys, I'm not convinced that it's altruistic.

Whether it is related to the investigation into Baroness Mone and her PPE contract, or Barrowman and his charity, HMRC's interest in MSC, or anything to do with their friend resigning, it's hard to say.
What W.A.S. a semi-legitimate part of the group has spun off to a new business.

[WTFH]

OK, we're getting somewhere...

MMI Global Unlimited have added Knox Limited as a person with significant control, now the majority shareholder of Baroness Mone's business (13/06/22)

Pipeline Accounts which became Carnegie Knox has split in three. The original Carnegie Knox showing a loss of £900k last year, but the other businesses doing quite well

Timothy Clive Eve became an IoM resident in May 22.
Daniel Clay has set up Brooks Farm in March 22, and changed his address on 14/06/22
but here's the bit that needs more investigating...
Wharfside Accountancy Services set up in March 22, Daniel Clay being the sole director, but the person with significant control is PAC Group Ltd. Formerly known as Pulse Accounting, formerly known as Egerton Young. PAC Group Ltd has a sole director and 100% shareholder called Daniel Clay.

What's so interesting?
Well, Carnegie Knox have relocated to the same address as Wharfside, and that address has A LOT of companies recently changed address to there.
Both Carnegie Knox and Wharfside are still operating, but Wharfside are about to take on their customers (under the guise of rebranding).

This is due to happen in August.

And this information is all on a public domain?

And this information is all on a public domain?

All, apart from the last 2 sentences, is available to anyone who goes on to CoHo and searches.

The last two sentences are from a very reliable source.

Right you are!

Anything with a ‘worx’ in the name raises my suspicions immediately.

[WTFH]

Not many steps from there and you have Paul Ruocco, Anthony Page, Voirrey Coole, and a load of businesses based at Blackfriars House, Parsonage, Manchester, England, M3 2JA (either on the 1st floor, 7th or "Knox")
This includes AML TAX, APV, Aston Property Ventures, Body Icon, Klaba, NEO Space, etc etc.

I was with Carnegie Knox, received this last week

----------------------
As you will be aware we moved our Aberdeen office to The Wharf in Birmingham a little while ago.

We are now taking this opportunity to relaunch and are changing our name to Wharfside Accountancy Services. What does this mean for you?

You will see no change in your accountant, FreeAgent and Xero, the services we offer and how you engage us. The only change will be your agent registered with HMRC will be Wharfside Accountancy Services.

You will shortly receive a new engagement letter to sign, agent registration forms and a new Direct Debit link from your accountant. They will also include their new contact details.

The changes will take affect from 1^st August and we will issue our first invoices for accountancy services on 25^th August for August accountancy services.

We will be expanding our services offering to not only contractors but to all types of small and medium businesses.

Your accountant will be in touch next week with some further details.

We look forward to continuing to work with you.
