Order Tramadol 50Mg Online Winding-up order issued despite the operator reportedly having a payment scheme in place

Ace Travel (North West) went into liquidation at the weekend. Founded 10 years ago it had an O-licence for 17, employed around 60 staff and ran more than 30 routes, most of them contracted from MerseyTravel, but including the Liverpool City Sightseeing tour.

According to the Liverpool Echo, HM Revenue & Customs (HMRC) issued a winding-up order against the company despite an offer to pay. “I can’t believe they have done this,” Ace Director Alan Denson told the paper. “We did fall behind with payments, fair enough, but we had a payment scheme in place and we would have paid it by the end of the year.
