Tarquin Traders on BBC South NOW

I agree with Gludy, as a creditor myself this was only the tip of the iceberg. Tarquin Boat Company is however set to go into liquidation which should result in the investigation of a whole raft of dubious practices....

I was under the impression from the programme that the Tarquin Boat Company went bust last year and is now reincarnated as Trader Motor Yachts Ltd.

I am in South Africa now and have limited time to respond at present. I will respond in more detail soon.

There is a lot more to it all than the BBC could show - a reporter in the BBC contacted me and I had uncovered a deplorable history I could not report when I had my battle with him but I did know that he was a person who had damaged some so much their lives were changed and they refused to appear on the programme.

My main concern and that of the programme is to expose this man and the family purchase of the assets so that I do my very best to minimise victims.

I would have liked to have exposed more before but there was a community sticking up for TC and I had enough on my plate using techniques ti ensure I got my money back. My campaign brought his sales to its knees so he was forced to settle with me and I then had to shut up.

Now that company has gone bust I was free again and horrified to hear of new victims.

Boating magazine articles need to be written on the BBC programme ans trade bodies need to act to ensure their members follow strict guidelines.

The more publicity on this the better.

We approached potential customers in our troubles to try to warn them and they reported us to TC so it backfired.

I will respond in more depth later.

I was also ripped off by Chappell and was in the process of suing him when he declared bankruptcy and as an unsecured creditor, I got nothing. I had thought about picketing his stand at the London an Southampton boat shows but, as I also live abroad, the logistics were too complicated.

To whom can we give our respective dossiers to make sure the Chappells never sell another boat....EVER.

Tarquin Boat Company went into administration last June and the assets were sold to the new company Trader Motor Yachts (aka Chappell family). However the old Tarquin Boat continues to be in administration but should shortly be put into liquidation and what has gone on investigated more fully. It does seem to take an incredibly long time...

Oh I see. I hope they do investigate it, but I wouldn't bet money on it unless you apply a lot of pressure.

Best of luck.
