I wonder if the Duncan Cameron listed as the petitioner is this one?

Knowing Stingrays connections with motor racing, there would be a certain synergy, perhaps?
The power and destructive power of the internet - the tentacles spread far and wide. And it's getting worse every day.

It sure is! But the point of the court deposit is to deter people issuing winding up petitions ad lib for questionable claims or differences of opinion. It's a major action and shouldn't be entered into lightly.
This petition is at least not brought about by a bank or government entity forcing their will on the smaller creditors.
After 25 years as an accountant I've seen both sides of this many times, sadly there are no winners.

You may already know, but I have picked this up, from the ARVM website. All very sad, particulary the second paragraph.
Stingray RV Limited announced on the 1st August that Winding UP Petitions had been issued on 31st July. All the staff were laid off on 18th July. The Company, owned by Simon Leith, has traded for many years and moved to Daventry 6 years ago. They had been one of the major American motorhome rental companies in the UK, in particular to the motor racing scene. They also bought and sold American motorhomes and for the last 2 years had been the UK distributor of Winnebago motorhomes after they bought the Dudleys name and stock.

How tragic......
When we were searching, he was one of the people we found particularly helpful. He had what seemed to be a super headquarters at Daventry, and all his staff seemed really on the ball.
He will be greatly missed...:sad:

I don't miss him. He owed me money. I suspect had owed lots of people money. I paid stingray 3500 to rent a van for goodwood revival and now I have no van and no 3500. What about some sympathy for creditors like me. ???

Think anyone with only one working brain cell would pay money in advance by credit card so they could claim it back.

I met Simon Leith numerous times and we bought our Damon Daybreak off him. He came across as a typical showman and was probably still telling people that Stingray would take over the world an hour before the winding up order was issued. Christine called him a flashy sod but I suppose you have to have a certain amount of front in that industry. Sad news for his family and for the guys who worked for Stingray RV.
If anyone is looking for a right hand man that you can depend on every time then Attila, Simon's fleet manager I think, is one of the nicest, most helpful guys you could ever meet (probably been snapped up by now anyway)
Of course I also feel sorry for those customers who have lost money and I guess there will be a few of them.
