Davefevs Posted October 7, 2019 Report Share Posted October 7, 2019 Sad when any local company collapses. 35 employees, one of whom I know is a City fan. £40m turnover too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bristol Rob Posted October 7, 2019 Author Report Share Posted October 7, 2019 Mods - might as well move this to non football chat or delete it, it was only relevant if they were still South Stand sponsors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CyderInACan Posted October 7, 2019 Report Share Posted October 7, 2019 All that sponsorship didn't really work then! Shame for those who've lost their jobs at Dribuild and the wider implications on the supply chain etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kid in the Riot Posted October 7, 2019 Report Share Posted October 7, 2019 This sounds like a very similar story to Helm construction who went bust at the end of last year. They were big sponsors of Bristol Bears. Both companies appeared to have grown very quickly in a short space of time, and that can be a recipe for disaster if the work dries up.

It didn't help Dribuild that they had several ex sports 'stars' on their books being paid £000's as 'entertainment' people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From that article 'But problems began to surface last month as subcontractors struggled to get paid on time. The firm fell into administration with up to nine county court judgments still outstanding.' Non payment of sub contractors has been on going for well over 18 months, another shitbag company screwing over subbies. I'm surprised the digger incident in Liverpool didn't happen in the extension at the Premier Inn in WsM over 18 months ago the way they were behaving then and using any excuse not to pay people.
