The failure of two eco-friendly building companies, now in liquidation owing nearly $1 million, is due to others failing to pay, the owner claims. DEBBIE JAMIESON reports.

Christchurch businessman Dan Tremewan is a former bankrupt who has had several businesses put into liquidation. He says the liquidation of his businesses, Welstruct Limited and Welhaus Christchurch Limited, is due to a client and a contractor refusing to pay him.

He continues to be involved in nine companies, which own several properties in or near Christchurch, and has links to high profile developer of The Tannery Alasdair​ Cassels, who is the uncle of Tremewan’s wife, Lucy.

Liquidator Brenton Hunt said the liquidation investigation was in the early stages and he had recommended to the Ministry of Business Innovation and Employment (MBIE) that Tremewan be prohibited from being a company director in future.
