Richard Howson (former CEO of Carillion)

Okay, so this nom isn’t all that sexy, or even interesting to be perfectly honest, but here goes.

Howson was the CEO of Carillion – a construction company – between 2011 and the company’s demise in 2017 before going into full liquidation in early 2018 owing creditors shitloads of money it never had.

Under his watch he has been accused of falsifying, misleading, lying, fiddling – whatever you want to call it – of fucking about with the company accounts during his term of office.

The Insolvency Service (acting on behalf of the Secretary of State for Business and Trade), investigated the company’s demise and concluded that Howson should be banned from being a director for 8 years!

Now what I find particularly galling is that not only did he fuck over his creditors (who will see next to nothing of getting their money back), but this cunt basically defrauded everyone connected with the company both internally and externally and yet only ends up with some stupid ban!

And yet in the real world if you don’t pay your TV licence, or pay a fine, or try to defraud HMRC or the Benefits people, you could face a prison sentence. So WTF isn’t this shithead facing a few years behind bars?

Moreover, how is it fair for companies deep in debt to go into voluntary liquidation and have their debts wiped from the slate and the CEOs and directors can walk away facing only a short-term ban but still have some of those “missing millions” stashed away in some off-shore account!

Perhaps members of ISAC should become directors of some made-up construction company called Cuntrillion, fool customers into handing over shedloads of money, pretend we’ll do some work, and then call in the administrators, but not before redirecting all that cash to some off-shore bank in the Cayman Islands.The worst that could happen is a ban from being a director. But think of all that lovely money!

Anyway, Howson is a complete cunt, but will be laughing all the way to the bank at such a trivial “sentence”

  1. Sweet Carillion.. Good Times never seemed so good.
    Sorry couldn’t resist..

    Bit like that fat tongued tv chef Jamie oliver, restaurant chain goes bankrupt but that cunts still worth 100 million plus.
    Bleed the prick dry..

  2. Well if he wafts off to some exotic location a whitey with money sticks out like a sore thumb. Hopefully he’ll end up on some beach pyre at a Bongo Bongo barbecue.

  3. These corporate cunts hire the best accountants so they can exploit every loophole left open on purpose by our Great Leaders who also use exactly the same process of “creative accountancy”.

    Small business and the self employed should be free of red tape and all assorted bullshit but someone has to pay to let the Fat Cunts steal all the pension money and wipe all debt for them.

    Immediate Oven.

  4. I once interviewed by the scruffiest cunt I’ve ever seen at Carillion. Five o’clock shadow, bad breath, stunk, he would have made a good tramp if he’d have smartened his self up a bit.

    • There’s nothing like a smug BBC news report to wind you up and fuck up your Sunday. Or any fucking day for that matter.

  7. this is corporate finance it’s all bullshit smoke and mirrors.

    it goes on everywhere and it’s bullshit.

    • That was a time Mis, when at a disco it seemed to confuse dancers as to whether it was a slow set and ask a bird up or a dance freestyle, only to find its neither and usually an embarrassment
      Never bought into New Romantics Shite, as I was aged 20 and way too cool for cats.

    • And his wife look the type that hires someone to decorate the mansion and then tells you to call Richard Carmillion for payment. Oh fk

  12. I was once on a project with Carillion a contractor. That was years ago and they were sly. money grabbing cunts even then. An example being “right, how do we get all the money out of the risk pot set aside by Railtrack?” (shows how long ago it was).

  13. That header pic is either a terrible personalised christmas card.
    Or him and the missus are releasing a christmas album..

    Misappropriation and wine.
    It’s beginning to look alot like bankruptcy
    Run richard run
    And many, many more.

  14. If he’d waved an England flag, they’d have been all over him. But a teensy bit of financial fraud to the tune of millions, no problem.

  15. Sounds like a future Chancellor or CEO of a metropolitan council at least.

    The ability to spaff other people’s money is a must in government……

  17. Some of my jobs, over the years, have brought me into contact with various members of the criminal fraternity, so I’ve been told many a tale.

    Jailing ‘white collar’ criminals seems like a good idea, and it should be, but the problem with doing it is that the way our current judicial systems treat them means that it ends up being both a waste of time as the courts do seem to treat them almost with some unwonted degree of deference (open prison for you, sorry to do it to you, old chap…), and counter-productive in the long run.

    Take, for example, the case of the perpetrator of an infamous fraud ‘back when’, one in the tens (if not hundreds) of millions over a couple of decades (money which they never traced other than to the first-level financial black-holes it was funnelled into – up to about an estimated £350 million in today’s money ). He got caught, jailed, ended up in an ‘open’ prison, spent his time boasting about how much the money he had squirrel’d away was going to make in interest etc and, to pass the time, was running masterclasses – teaching his fellow white collar inmates how to do ‘things’ (e.g. offshore banking for fun and profit) and how to try avoid making the same mistakes that finally got him caught, rather than the prison punishing or reforming them, it was running as a glorified advanced business school for financial crooks with this guy being the visiting professor of advanced henious financial fuckery.

    Incidentally, a decade later after him being jailed, I pick up a newspaper and there he is, out and about and on the times rich list with a £100 million+ personal fortune…but always remember folks, crime.does.not.pay.

    I’d give some other examples but, well, see, I do so value my kneecaps…

  18. Thank goodness we’ve now taken back control of our borders, our laws and our money.

  20. Just like those banker cunts who caused the 2008 recession.
    Not one single arrest or criminal charge was made.

  21. Expert fiddling fucker is written all over his face, along with knickers dropping wife has extra security.

  22. Bird of prey
    Flying high,flying high
    Am I going to die.

    Politicians nor judges of court nor these new age school teachers can discern the indifference, of what these predators bring to the table , even if they strike at the heart of the new born lamb.

    Blinded by not very nice people it just continues, as the extremes of left are currently in the driving seat.
    Why didn’t they just stick with their Ladas, to be Quirky cunts in worn out tweed elbow patch sports jackets like the cunts they always were
