The director of a Wandsworth clothing firm which collapsed owing more than £34,000 has been disqualified from taking part in the management of a company for 10 years.
Saif Uddin, of Lostock House, Union Grove, Wandsworth, had been a director of Quality Clothings Limited, a dressmaking company trading in Whitechapel. The company went into liquidation in July 1999.
The Companies Court also considered Mr Uddins conduct as a director of another, Hackney-based, clothing company which went bust in 1995.
The court heard Mr Uddins company records failed to explain cash withdrawals of more than £150,000, or the disposal of company vehicles worth almost £30,000.
Company records also showed it owed almost £150,000 to Customs and Excise because of incorrect VAT returns.
