The company behind Bothwell House has been accused of failing to pay staff, suppliers, and contractors tens of thousands of pounds
A city centre restaurant that closed suddenly six months after opening has been accused of failing to pay staff, suppliers, and contractors tens of thousands of pounds.
However, it has been alleged the company has been failing to pay contractors and suppliers for several months, racking up bills that 'could go into six figures'.Jenny Barlow, who was brought on as general manager for Bothwell House, became concerned about the running of the business when her contacts began coming to her to ask when they would be paid.
"I became the point of contact for people who were chasing their money because they were getting nothing from the owners. Contractors left work unfinished because they weren't being paid. "I know there's no chance of recovering anymore for me but I am genuinely p***** off and would like to know how you protect other honest business operators from what is one of the worst cases I've seen in 20 years?"
A number of staff members spoken to by Glasgow Live said there were clear signs of trouble before they were called into a meeting on Monday and told they were being let go.Luke Robertson, a member of the floor staff, said: "When we opened there were live performers but that was stopped because we couldn't afford to pay them, the wine and cocktail lists were always changing because they couldn't afford certain things.
"The owners still operate a number of hospitality venues around the country. We urge any workers experiencing issues at any workplace under the umbrella of ‘Aspirational Brands’ to get in touch with us."
