My fiancé has done work for them and is owed a lot of money, he has been chasing for 6 weeks and always told he will be paid by the end of the week, I have now decided to get involved to help, a simple google search reveals some of the story’s others have shared. It’s frustrating that he didn’t google them before starting doing jobs for them.
Can others advise if they’ve been successful with getting paid?
I will be going as far as it takes and plan to set up a Facebook page, report them to watchdog, I think we all need to join forces to take this company down, stop them stealing money from customers and tradesman, it’s disgusting how they are still going.

The problem is if you shut them down they start a new company again.
As far as I can see, unless anyone knows different, no company that wants you to pay them for leads or who contact you offering to supply you with work, whether for a fee or not, is to be trusted.
What is certain is that they will have been paid by the customer.

Won't work and will potentially land you in legal hot water. Stealing (theft), for example, has a technical definition and what you've described isn't theft it's breach of contract. Wrongly accusing someone of theft is libel, doing so with the intention of damaging their reputation, pretty much leaves you without a defence. In fact, even if the accusation is true, making it with the intention of causing repetitional harm is libel in the UK.
What I would recommend that your fiancé does three things:
Firstly, ask the local Trading Standards Department for advice. They may already have the firm in their sights and will be interested in collecting evidence showing a repeated pattern of fraudulent behaviour.
Secondly, use the small claim court procedure as explained here
Make a court claim for money
How to take legal action if someone owes you money (small claims court), how much it costs, what happens next. Includes information from withdrawn guidance EX303, EX304, EX306, EX321, EX325 and EX350.
to recover the money owed.
Finally, to avoid this happening again, find out about 'credit control for small businesses'. Make sure any advice found on the WWW is up to date and specific to the UK. Their accountant, assuming they have one, should be happy to go through the basics.

Do not use this company! Only sent two invoices off and first one took weeks of chasing for them to pay.These are just some off the reviews I found in a single search.

Thought it was a one off, sent invoice and again no payment, can't even got hold of them. Customer on site told the engineer how much they were being charged and it was extortionate!
Were currently going down the courts route now.

They'll be back.
The Administrators progress report suggests there won't be enough for any dividend for unsecured creditors.
The trouble with these firms run by people with no moral fibre is that they learn the process well. They just run up debts fold the company and start again, it gets easier each time. There are a couple of firms near us that do this on a regular basis - the name only gets changed a tiny bit each time and the general populous is none the wiser. If they knew then I suspect that quite a few would chose not to use such a company , but it’s probably slander or defamation or some such - got to protect their rights…..
Consider reporting them to the Insolvency Service. Unless any exception applies, anyone who was a director in the 12 months before the company went into liquidation is banned from taking part in the management of another business with the same name. This ban lasts for 5 years and also covers names which are so similar they suggest an association with the previous company.
Having been once-bitten, before dealing with a new limited company I look them up on the Companies House website, which tells you who the directors are and cross-references them to other businesses they been involved in running. If any of these have gone bankrupt that's a red flag.
Get information about a company
Get company information including registered address, previous company names, directors' details, accounts, annual returns and company reports, if it's been dissolved

I know this is an old post but I sadly worked in the office years ago and it clearly hasn’t changed! I’m surprised they’re still running!
I’ve heard how much they bad mouth the engineers and purposely delay payment for reasons ERG are to blame for! 🤦🏻♀️
If you want more info about the company & CEO, feel free to reply ☺️
