VAT fraud at Heathrow Engine Centre now known as Bray Engineering Ltd

In 1994 three directors of Heathrow Engine Centre have been charged with VAT fraud alleged to be in the region of £7m, posted on http://community.invisionpower.com/topic/207194-warning-heathrow-motors-do-not-use/page__st__80, a community page for customers of Heathrow Engine Centre with reviews dating back to 2006.

Michael Rowan, Karmal Bhullar and Melvyn Frankal, directors of Nationwide Engine and Gearbox Distributors Limited trading as Heathrow Engine Centre, were charged in June, said a Customs and Excise spokesman.

Rowan, Bhullar and Frankal are free on bail awaiting a committal hearing likely to be held on 3 December.
Heathrow Engine Centre ceased trading on 30 September and is being prepared for liquidation according to engineering director Bhullar (see Motor Trader 10 October page 1).
The future of the business is unclear, as it is not known whether the firm will be sold or liquidated. “I’ll let the receivers sort that out,” Bhullar told Motor Trader.

17 years later, the same Michael Rowan is active at Bray Engineering Ltd office at Clock Tower Road. 

Of course, Heathrow Engine Centre went in to liquidation, reformed under Brent South Trading Ltd. This company also went into liquidation and re-formed under Bray Engineering Ltd.

    I have it from a good source that reconditioned engines aka bray engineering have liquidated and after speaking to them thursday several times and they were rattled about something and were fobing me off with bull about a workshop fire.
    Then friday no one is answering the phone, which I have never experience before, they all ways answer the phone in case its a punter they can rip off.
    Maybe if anyone is local to either of there yards, maybe they could take a look

      Thank you for your comment. We are receiving reports that the police and local authorities are in the process of getting to the end of their investigation. We believe that is the reason why they are ‘in hiding’. We will keep putting pressure on them.
