Hopefully going into admin will allow the employment of Ted's daughter to be terminated. If she is still at the club, it will be a joke

See my update to my post re director status - seems to accord with what RDM posted just above.

A non-executive director is still a director with full legal liabilities if they are registered as a Director. The law makes no distinction between and Executive and a Non-Executive Director. The key point is are they a "True" director?

And yes, only "True" directors are exposed to being banned, and that decision is taken elsewhere and after the report on the directors' conduct submitted (by law) by the Administrator and, if appointed, the Liquidator, and speculation is both futile and also potentially libelous, to be honest.

Agreed. Need a completely new start.

The "Non-Exec" directors were not formally named as directors on the 2010 annual return to Companies House. As per my previous post, Ted, Eric & Ray are named as directors while Diane Maskill was named as Company Secretary.

Usually the company secretary is a director , they are the one responsible legally , every limited co has to have a company secretary

Wrong pal.

They may be a director, but do not have to be. In quoted companies it is very unusual for the Secretary to be a director. Many many very small companies have the owner as the sole director, and his.her spouse as company secretary.

Every company does NOT now have to have a Secretary. My personal service company does not.

The secretary has certain legal responsibilities, and is usually the only real "Officer" of the company when the term "Directors and Officers" is used. But the Secretary's legal exposure is a fraction of that of a Director.

Been both, on various occasions and in various companies.;

I did say ' usually ' as in my experience ( wrongly it would seem ) it has been a director as ' secretary '

Tell us more …

Nudge, nudge, wink, wink, say no more, say no more!!!!
