Mone-linked firm PPE Medpro owes £39m in taxes

PPE Medpro, a firm linked to Baroness Michelle Mone and her husband Doug Barrowman, owes £39m in taxes on top of the £148m owed for breaching a PPE supply contract during the Covid pandemic. The company was put into administration, with the government intent on recovering the owed amounts. Despite having a significantly smaller amount available for unsecured creditors, options are being explored to recoup the owed funds. The ongoing situation highlights the challenges faced during the pandemic in securing essential supplies and the legal consequences for failure to meet contract obligations.
