The Sentor group of companies, which includes Sentor Solutions Commercial Ltd, Fabcourt Developments Ltd, Sentor Solutions Advisory Ltd and Sentor Solutions Ltd, has been wound up by the High Court.

The latter two companies changed their names and most recently traded as Hall Contracting Services Ltd and Clarkson Murphy Partners Ltd respectively.

CONVERTIBLE

Promotional material provided by Fabcourt Developments to investors stated that Sentor Solutions Commercial and Clarkson Murphy Partners were the Security Trustee for the investment scheme, which promised fixed rate investment products known as ‘convertible loan notes’ with high monthly or quarterly interest rates for a duration of 2-3 years.

Fabcourt Developments was in fact the successor to Sampson Property Developments Ltd, previously known as Texmoore Limited, which had operated the same scam until it entered into compulsory liquidation on 23 March 2022 following a creditors petition.

TWO MILLION

Between them, the companies took over £2 million from investors, plus a further $500,000 (USD).

Both Clarkson Murphy Partners and Hall Contracting Services had also been said to be Security Trustees for Sampson Property Developments scam.

These companies operated a fraudulent scheme.”

The companies also told investors that the loan notes were “government-backed”, and even that their investments were covered by the Financial Services Compensation Scheme (which would have entitled them to compensation if the investment failed).

Edna Okhiria, Chief Investigator at the Insolvency Service, says: “It is undeniably in the public interest for these companies to be prevented from continuing to trade.

“These companies operated a fraudulent scheme… leaving investors substantially out of pocket.”
