General and bulk liquid haulier James Moffat and Sons is distancing itself from any formal association with Jim Hay, the man behind a string of failed haulage companies including John Adams and Sons, Finlay Guy and Eye Plc.
Rumours have been circulating since Moffat opened a new depot in Hamilton, Strathclyde taking on 11 people who used to work for Hay. They include eight drivers and three traffic operators: Jim McDougall, Bob Young and Alan Johnson.
Commercial manager Andrew Farmer stresses that Moffat is a "well-respected family fire which has been in business for 50 years: "There
are tot many rumours going around, but we have no association with Jim Hay at all."
Four of Jim Hay's companies have gone into liquidation in the past year; most recently Finlay Guy, which went to the wall last month. Finlay Guy took over from Eye Plc, which ceased trading in August.
