Shrewsbury man in court over fraudulent trading allegations
A Shrewsbury businessman has appeared in court accused of fraudulently trading as a building company.
Richard Nicholls faces two charges each of fraud concerning building work to a house, in Finsbury Park, London, under the name of GMD Construction Ltd; fraudulent trading relating to Active East Ltd; fraudulent trading relating to Side & Rear London Builders Ltd/SRBL Ltd; and one offence of participating in fraudulent business in respect of Side & Rear.
He was jointly charged with co-defendant Glen Charles when they appeared before a judge at Inner London Crown Court on Wednesday.
Nicholls, of Hotspur Street, Coton Hill, did not enter any pleas at the hearing before Judge Nigel Seed QC.
Charles, from London, is also charged with one charge of fraudulent trading as KG Enterprises Ltd and denies all the allegations against him.
The eight charges dating between 2016-2018 have been brought by Southwark Council.
The matter was adjourned and both men were granted bail.
