The recent collapse of Carillion came as no surprise to the boss of payroll services provider, Hudson Contract.
Managing Director Ian Anfield said at the start of 2017, he predicted the industry services giant would fail due to its reputation as a flawed organisation.
"To many of us who worked alongside or for Carillion, they were affectionately known as 'Carry on Construction' run by accountants rather than engineers and quantity surveyors," he said.
"Sites were hamstrung with so much red tape they could not function as they should. However, unlike Sid James and the gang, Philip Green and his chums have not left us anything to smile about.
"Now the banks and the government have finally switched off Carillion's life support machine, the question has to be asked - why were they allowed to drag things out for so long?"
