A couple-run company that received £272million in PPE contracts owes £5.5million in unpaid taxes – but insists it will pay.
Steve and Kate Dechan were told to pay back the money following claims that many of their masks were unusable.
They have been living together in a luxury five-bedroom, £3.5million farmhouse in the Cotswolds, after upgrading from their £350,000 home in Stroud, according to The Sun.
heir company, called Platform-14 Medical, was landed with a winding-up order in the High Court for failing to pay National Insurance and corporation tax.
In April 2020, one day after winning the PPE deal, the couple set up a separate business called Tracingboard, which they used to purchase their huge estate.
