Boss of Glasgow-based call centre lived life of luxury as staff lost jobs weeks before Christmas

The businessman behind a failed call centre – which was handed £10million of public contracts – was leading a luxury lifestyle as staff lost their jobs just weeks before Christmas.

David Harper was the boss of Glasgow-based Go-centric, which collapsed this month, leaving 650 staff – who were paid about £9 an hour – out of work. But the Sunday Mail can reveal how the 42-year-old, who is linked to three failed companies, was enjoying lavish holidays abroad and lives in a £2million mansion.

We can also reveal how his collapsed firm – which handled Covid test and trace for NHS Scotland – was at the centre of an investigation over data breaches.
