The Maggie Beer Products gourmet foods business remains immersed in red ink but a restructuring program has prompted a glimmer of optimism from 48 per cent owner Longtable Group that the maker of ice-creams, pate, quince pastes and sauces can eventually make a profit.

Longtable, which also owns the Paris Creek premium dairy business, revealed on Thursday that Maggie Beer Products had suffered a bottomline loss of $1.23 million for 2017-18. This compared with a loss of $2.13 million in the previous financial year.

The Maggie Beer Products business was built over decades by Maggie Beer, who has a national profile through a string of cookbooks, television shows and as a frequent guest judge of Network Ten’s MasterChef series.

Two weeks later Ms Sampieri said Mr Le arrived at the offices of Mr Whiteman and Mr Le was covered in bruises and scratches and had a limp.

He told me he had been hit from behind with an iron bar and when he was on the ground they were kicking him.

Ms Sampieri told the court she didnt report the matter to police or the conversations she heard about the alleged assault to police, because I was scared for myself.

Liquidators Andrew Yeo and Gess Rambaldi of Pitcher Partners are investigating allegations creditors, including the Australian Taxation Office, were ripped off when more than 360 companies were phoenixed by a suite of companies controlled by Mr Whiteman, either in his own name or, as the court heard this week, under one of his…

WEST Perth creditors can get back 4 per cent of what they are owed or get nothing.

That is essentially the message after administrator KordaMentha released its recommendations this week into the finances of the Joondalup WAFL club, which went into voluntary administration last month with about $790,000 debt.

It means if the Falcons owe a creditor $100,000, the entity would get just $4000 back.

The Government will give new powers to the Insolvency Service to crack down on reckless directors who phoenix their firms.

The Department for Business, Energy & Industrial Strategy (BEIS) has unveiled a series of new measures on corporate governance and insolvency which include new powers for the Insolvency Service to investigate directors of dissolved companies where they are suspected of having acted in breach of their legal obligations.

Under the new powers, which will be set out in further detail in the autumn, the Insolvency Service will be able to fine directors or even have them disqualified.

Prominent Albany construction business Tectonic Construction Group entered liquidation last week with immediate effect.

Tectonics website said the company had operated for more than 30 years in the region building homes and commercial buildings.
