End of the road for asphalt firm’s boss
Company director Paul Winskill has what might be called a colourful history.
In 2011, the millionaire boss of a road-surfacing business was ordered to pay nearly £53,000 to his secretary after he exposed himself and told her to perform a sex act.
Judge Dawn Shotter said: “The company have refused to apologise or even acknowledge sexual harassment even took place.”
Then in 2014 he was found not guilty of having a builder beaten up over a £12,000 debt for work at his luxury Wirral home.
Now he’s been banned from being a director for eight years following the collapse of his company Premier Asphalt Limited.
He siphoned around £1million from the firm while it was insolvent, owing more than £5million to creditors, says the Insolvency Service.
