Building Control Collapse, Cardigan Scam Update, Mega Pubs
14,000 people can't get their building work signed off after a major building control firm went into liquidation. Plus we review the new super-sized pubs popping up in London.
Today, we investigate the collapse of a major building control firm which went into liquidation in August. PWC Building Control Limited owes millions to its 14,000 customers who may have to wait months if not years for their building work to be signed off. We hear from two people affected, plus Charlotte Banks from Construction News and Lorna Stimpson from Local Authority Building Control.
Last week we reported on the knitted cardigan scam and we received dozens of emails from others who'd been caught out by it. We hear from one, plus we track down the Dutch knitter whose beautiful designs were copied by the scammers about the huge impact scams can have on small businesses.
Plus we report on the rise of the mega-pub, as we go inside two of the newest ones on the block, and hear from futurologist and the founder of Future Food Service, Simon Stenning about whether bigger pubs are a thing of the future.
