Garry Pettigrew, a Scottish businessman, has been banned from serving as a company director for nine years after transferring £2.98 million in assets to connected firms amid the collapse of NHS contracts. The Insolvency Service ruled that Pettigrew breached his duties by moving equipment from Healthcare Environmental Services Limited to HEG Sustainable Solutions Limited and Starryshaw Consultants Ltd between October and December 2018, just days before the firm lost key NHS contracts. The company liquidated in April 2019 with debts exceeding £15 million. Pettigrew was disqualified following a Court of Session ruling on 20 August 2026, which cited ‘flagrant’ breaches of director responsibilities. He was also fined £1,000 for contempt of court in 2025. The Insolvency Service emphasized the ban sends a warning against prioritizing personal interests over creditor protection during insolvency.
