A Glasgow business owner has been slammed for owing thousands in unpaid holiday pay, pensions and tax to dozens of employees across the city.
Richard Davies is one of three businessmen behind the Abandon Ship and MacMerry bar chain, who have been accused of the “systematic mistreatment” of dozens of staff in Glasgow and Dundee.
Davies won retailer of the year at the Scottish Fashion Awards in 2014 with trendy Abandon Ship Apparel but was accused of abandoning his debts and leaving creditors and staff out of pocket when the clothing brand folded.
