Re: Marlin & Cabot - Dangerous Consolidation?
Haha this should be fun, they're both highwaymen who will be found out - this is great news really as it takes that shitty company Marlin out of the equation, unless they will trade as separate entities of course.....

Re: Marlin & Cabot - Dangerous Consolidation?
Marlin was bought by Cabots debt portfolio owed to it, so in theory Cabot have borrowed against their debt logbook to purchase Marlin, yet who or what suggests that Cabots debt logbook is accurate and worth anything, let alone a couple of hundred mil......
Me thinks dodgy accountants and directors will have some answering in the months / years to come. However I think it's great cos at this rate, if one biggie collapses then the whole house of cards will go with it. Can't think of a nicer group than Cabot and Marlin :lol

Re: Marlin & Cabot - Dangerous Consolidation?
Hopefully the sackings will continue until morale improves.
As they say there's plenty of fish in the sea.

Re: Marlin & Cabot - Dangerous Consolidation?
Ken Stannard, Marlin’s CEO, has been appointed chief executive officer of Cabot.
All under one umbrella operating as standalone "brands" for the time being.

Re: Marlin & Cabot - Dangerous Consolidation?
Yes so was Lewis, CL Finance and Robinson Way when Hoist purchased them. Then oh dear Lewis and CL Finance were deemed losers and staff are now busy trying to be super debt collectors as the axe hangs over them. So synergies always mean sackings somewhere.
Couldnt happen to nicer people.

Let's hope they lose all their data when they try to integrate their "state of the art " debt/or enforcement/ tracking systems.
It would appear APEX pays its helpdesk staff above minimum wage.

I hope the umbrella blows inside out and gives them all a soaking and poke in the eye.

Gonna look out on EBay for surplus cheap polyester suits hardly worn, hopefully with knees and elbows still intact.

Re: Marlin & Cabot - Dangerous Consolidation?
I wonder how many people have been pushed over the edge by his company. I wonder how many sleepless nights have been caused by his company. I wonder how many family break ups have been caused by his company. I wonder how many people have very low esteem because of his company. I wonder how many people have a pretty shite life because of his company. How many have turned to drink or drugs. How many have fled their homes. The list goes on. Just how many people's lives his disgusting company has touched and ruined.
Nothing to be proud of.
What a leech. Feasting on others misfortune. Whole industry stinks. Hope he chokes on his millions. Either that or have a spectacular business failure and one day has the debt collectors knocking on his door.

Re: Marlin & Cabot - Dangerous Consolidation?
“The fact Marlin has today grown into a highly profitable and recognised industry leader is testament to what you can achieve when you assemble a great group of smart, motivated and ambitious people. I see significant growth potential in this sector internationally and, in due course, hope totake advantage of new opportunities to team up with other partners to replicate this success in new markets.”
a great group of smart, motivated and ambitious people I don't think that those are the adjectives I would use. To him it was a niche market, just like selling sand collected of the beach. He saw the hole and exploited it. Morals don't come into business.
take advantage of new opportunities He could attack world hunger and malaria, but I bet he won't. He will be spreading his 'his joy' internationally.
