Gone Bust: PPE Medpro fails to pay back £122 million by the Deadline set by the UK Government. 

Yesterday, PPE Medpro, established by Baroness Michelle Mone and her husband Douglas Barrowman, failed to repay the £122 million it owes the UK government due to a breach of contract for not providing medical gowns that were sterile enough. According to a report in the Scotsman newspaper, the UK Department of Health & Social Care won its legal case in court, which was supposed to force the company to pay up.  PPE Medpro had until 4 pm yesterday to pay the required funds to the UK government. According to a report in the BBC, Health Secretary Wes Streeting has vowed to track down all of the money owed to the government, which, with interest, now totals £145 million. It is unclear if the company will ever pay back the money, as according to accounts filed in July of this year, the company’s assets total £666,025.
