Krannich dissolved

[Somecamel]

I use creditfocus btw- £12 a month- worth it to keep a check on whats going on ( and competitors)

 

[Gavin A]

me too, though tbh I barely use it.

I'd not thought about using it to check on the competition, though it might at least help me to know which companies are actually still active.

Since hearing of this we've found a site: https://www.duedil.com, free registration.

It says Krannich had a pretty sizable turnover last time they filed accounts and a fair wad of cash in the bank...

We've looked at our competitors too

Krannich is in good health.

Long chat with them, they forgot to file a particular document with companies house and one of their competitors started circulating a 'rumour'

The data should be fixed if you do a credit check again on them.

Krannich's comment was 'Unfortunatley companies are not subject to the libel laws (only individuales can be libelled) else we'd be seeing them in court"

Hmm, that seems very strange.

Classic situation in business, the runour spreader had requested an account at krannich and were turned down.... perhaps bad fellings :33:

tbf, this rumour wasn't without substance, they were / still are listed as having filed their intention to dissolve the company with companies house, and tbh it's not possible to do this by just forgetting to file a bit of paper, you actually have to file specifically that you intend to dissolve the company. There does seem to be another Krannich Solar part registered, so I'm thinking maybe they were planning to transfer the holdings from one company to a new company for some reason, and then dissolve the old one, but ballsed it right up by filing the paperwork in the wrong order.

Either way, its a pretty big gaffe to accidentally submit a notice of intention to dissolve the company with companies house when you didn't actually mean to file it, so they deserve to take some stick and raised eyebrows for it IMO.

This is exactly how I see it, which is why I haven't closed the thread or renamed it yet. Whatever is happening is very strange and I think it is a bit odd for anyone to start suggesting libel.

especially when combined with a false assertion that companies can't sue for libel - of course they can, see eg the mclibel trial in the 90s, where Mcdonalds sued a couple of eco campaigners for libel.

I feel dirty posting this from the carter ruck website, given that they are about the lowest of the low when it comes to lawyers, but...

Who can sue for libel or slander?

Individuals, companies, firms, certain charities and trade unions can all bring proceedings for libel and slander. Governmental bodies (local authorities and central government bodies) and political parties cannot - but if the allegation reflects on them, individual councillors, civil servants and politicians can all bring actions in their own name.

Whatever Krannich are doing I'm sure it's to reshape their company as things go slow

Had a chap from Dulas round today and he was fairly sure that Krannich UK was being wound up - he'd heard something from Krannich Germany. He also told me Krannich UK were telling everyone it was business as usual. The plot thickens. Or doesn't. Nice to have a bit of a gossip though...

 

[Worcester]

Just give Kurt a call ....!

Dulas wholeslae came to see us too, they seemed desperate as they've never bothered before. Dulas installation no longer use Dula Wholesale (despite owning 10%) as they buy Ying Li from Segen!
