Grooming business evicted from prestige Manchester location
King Street Grooming, a male salon on Manchester’s upmarket King Street has been evicted from their premises by landlords.
The business was owned and started by Inc & Co, the turnaround business whose owner Scott Dylan was jailed in November for contempt of court over the offshore transfer of assets.
A notice from lawyers CMS acting on the instruction of the landowner, Glasgow City Council (the public body which runs the Glasgow pension fund) was pinned to the premises on Friday.
According to filings at Companies House, majority stake in the business had been sold to Zeeshan Assi, whose registered address is Inc’s former offices on Mount Street in Manchester, from which they were evicted last week.
Also holding a minority stake is Luthias McCash, who has also acquired Skylab Agency from Inc & Co.
In the High Court in London, on the 30th of October 2023, Judge Rajah handed down a sentence of 22 months in jail to Scott Dylan, Dave Antrobus and Jack Mason after his earlier July ruling that they were in contempt of court when they moved business assets offshore in breach of a freezing order granted to Barclays Bank, which further alleges that they are the victims of a £13.7m theft.
On the Rainmakers website this week we outline other consequences of the jailing of Dylan.
However, in a notice on Instagram yesterday the grooming business laid the blame for the eviction squarely at the door of the previous owners and management.
It said: “mismanagement by previous owner and director Jack Mason and his company INC&CO, has come to light. Attributed to this, is a series of undisclosed debt, one such debt being to the current landlord. A full settlement and an advance on upcoming rent was made, however, the previous actions in relation to KSG, and the wider issue of Mr Mason absconding the country to avoid custodial sentence, negated the landlord’s interest in KSG 1 Ltd.”
It goes on the claim that they are entering “a legal process to regain control of the premises” and that a “confusing” notice that the business was permanently closed was “due to the administrative error on google.” (sic)
