Conduct: 1. From 01 December 2019 to liquidation on 04 October 2021 Keith John Huckstepp (“Mr Huckstepp”) failed to ensure that Stella maintained proper accounting records as required by Section 221 of the Companies Act 1985, or in the alternative, failed to preserve and deliver up to the Liquidator such records as were maintained. As a result, it is not possible to ascertain or verify: • The reason for payments totalling £130,671.43 received into the company bank account between 06 December 2019 and 04 December 2020 and whether it represents genuine business income. • The reason for payments between 02 December 2019 and 04 October 2021 totalling £133,846.41 and whether they represent genuine business expenditure. • The reason for the payment of £14,141.60 on 22 June 2020 to a third party company and whether this represents genuine business expenditure. • The reason for payments totalling £41,629.00 to an account said to belong to him. • Whether all income and expenditure has been accounted for correctly to HMRC. • Whether he was eligible for the £8,587.20 that he claimed for himself under the Corona Virus Job Retention Scheme from HMRC. 2. He applied for a government backed Bounce Back Loan (“BBL”) and failed to use the BBL for the economic benefit of the company in that: • On 15 July 2020 the company received £20,000 BBL from Barclays Bank. • On 15 July 2020 the full BBL of £20,000 was transferred to another bank account, said to be a personal account belonging to him. • He stated to the Liquidator that this was money owed to him for a van purchase, wages owed to him and personal debt he had got in to. • He has failed to provide any evidence to support the reason for this payment to himself. • He has failed to use the BBL for the economic benefit of the company, instead he has used the BBL for the economic benefit of himself. • The company went into liquidation on 04 October 2021 owing £20,394.34 to HMRC in respect of VAT and CIS and £25,000 to Barclays in respect of the BBLs.
