Staff at a failed call centre which was handed £10million in public contracts will get less than half of what they’re owed after it went bust. Go-Centric collapsed weeks before Christmas with unpayable debts of £3.8million and made hundreds of staff redundant.
It came in contrast to the lavish lifestyle of its boss David Harper, who lives in a £2million mansion and took holidays as his company ran into trouble. Liquidation documents show 564 workers are owed an average of £1535 each but are only guaranteed £641.
The Glasgow-based firm, which worked on the NHS Scotland’s Test and Protect service during the pandemic, also owes cash to the taxman, Glasgow City Council and businesses run by Harper’s husband and mum.
