Yea I see Monster Tuning have gone into liquidation. There Facebook page is advertising a new company called PMS Telford remaps.

They posted this a little while ago:

With a little searching I found that PMS Telford Maps is a trading name of Priorslee Motor Services Ltd which has been trading for 13 year, the directors are Mr Gerald Jones, Mr Adrian Jones & Ms Sarah Smith and Mr Rikki Purchase, the director of Monster, has no interest in PMS. It appears that they have bought the Monster Tuning name and maybe some of the assets.

I know that some may have no interest, but there will be some who have their own views on the man, his business and work ethics but this forum is not the place for that.
I only put this up for those who may have missed it elsewhere.

I am not sure that I agree with Dan and John that Monster Tuning has gone into liquidation.

As John says it is interesting what can be found on the internet. There is a lot of information available to the public FOC.


JWL posted a link to the Shropshire Star dated 5/1/16

Quote:

Rikki James Purchase, 37, and Aimee Purchase, 35, both of Hunters Gate, Much Wenlock, stand charged of the theft of £667,175.71 from MI Engineering Ltd between March 2013 and August 2014.




According to Company Check HERE Mr Purchase is not an active director but has been the director of 5 dissolved companies

According to Company Check here Mrs Purchase has held 3 directorship, one with MI Engineering (see Shropshire Star) appointed 18/11/05 and resigned on 15/3/15, director of dissolved company RJP and sole director of UK Remapping Ltd from 14/7/15 which was incorporated on 14/7/15.

According to www.monstertuning.co.uk UK Remapping Ltd is trading as Monster Tuning. UK Remapping is shown as a still active company.

One thing I have noticed is that the public records on sites such as Company Check do not appear to be consistent

I can not find any evidence that Monster Tuning has gone into liquidation.

My surmise would be that PMS Telford has just become agents/dealers for Monster Tuning/ UK Remapping/ Tune It Ltd etc.

Please do NOT confuse UK Remapping Ltd a newly incorporated company with Remaps UK Ltd which is based in Kent and been going 6 years.


Please remember under UK law you are INNOCENT until proven guilty!

Priorslee Motors have no affiliation with Monster Tuning and have no financial arrangement with them at all. They have not brought the Monster tuning company name or indeed anything else to do with the business, they simply are a ecu dealer who use Monster to convert their files. Thanks

Hi Brendan

Have a look here:

https://www.thegazette.co.uk/notice/2440926

Shows the official London Gazette notice of the winding up order, I feel sorry for all the innocent parties caught up in this sh** storm!!

As Helen has pointed out PMS only used Monster's services to decode ECUs, however having the PMS name appear all over the Monster Tuning Facebook page might cause confusion over the businesses being more involved with each other. 2014 110 2.2TDCi XS Station wagon

Hi John,

That is very interesting. Well spotted Thumbs Up

It would appear that, 1) Tune It Ltd, 2) Monster Tuning 3) Monster Tuning Ltd have been some form of a succession of companies.

Now UK Remapping Ltd is trading as Monster Tune who's sole director is Mrs Aimee Dawn Purchase whereas Monster Tuning Ltd director Mr Rikki James Purchase has applied for liquidation.

Rather interesting when you couple that with the report in the Shropshire Star and the relationship between the different company directors. Whistle

I know where I will be going for remaps! Yes I will be visiting other forum sponsors Thumbs Up

Welcome to the forum Helen, hope you are going to continue to post.

Brendan
