neither shareholders nor directors will appreciate being associated with this site but they can thank rick bailey for this because he is responsible for evading payment of outstanding debts stretching back to 2020.
Thwaites Publicly Ridiculed
Apart from the obvious what was Buchanan thinking of when he tried to rip-off his Creditor for a measly £285, and there again what was Bailey later thinking when he declined to intervene? Whatever either of them were thinking they never could have imagined being referred to as a pair of twats many months later! Back in March 2022 when it was all kicking off and realising their tactics had failed most intelligent businessmen would have tried to rectify what was a fast unfolding Internet crisis for their employers Daniel Thwaites PLC but that description doesn’t apply to this pair. In March the Creditor had already published 3 or 4 default notices on the Internet and warning signals should have flagged up but it didn't. Knowing the Creditor's company was a one man outfit the next bad decision they made, was assuming it wouldn't have the balls to take on a very much larger company like Thwaites but they got that wrong as well. What they didn't know then was they were dealing with a Cold War veteran who completed his national service some 60 plus years ago and his squadron's motto was 'Hit Fast and Hit Hard'. Returning to Buchanan and Bailey clearly their reputation is not going to be enhanced by this site but, they are their own worst enemies thinking they can continue to behave like a pair of absolute twats and not suffer the consequences. A big concern for them now is how their fellow directors will react when viewing the evidence presented here, not to mention what Thwaites shareholders will make of it all.
Today's date is the 11th September 2025 and whereas the default notices back in March 2022 numbered just 3 or 4 websites but now that has increased to more than 138 sites. Meanwhile the outstanding debt has mushroomed significantly because of payment penalties incurred by Thwaites and it now amounts to £233,065.00 as of November 2024.
Thwaites Shareholders :
Apart from the following institutional shareholders, Daniel Thwaites Plc’s controlling shares are held by the Yerburgh family and they control the purse strings. Rick Bailey also became a shareholder after marrying into the Yerburgh family in 2001 and surprise, surprise he was made a director of Daniel Thwaites the following year in 2002 and within a couple of years he was their CEO. This begs the question was he awarded a directorship on merit or was he simply in the right place at the right time? Interestingly, since taking charge Thwaites has sold off more than 250 Pubs leaving them with less than 200 remaining, wonder what happened to the proceeds.

I left Aztec Hotel at 11pm bed was too uncomfortable
Room wasn’t ready on arrival bed wasn’t made up until 5pm! The extra bed was given a single quilt inadequate for a double bed. Room was too small even though I had spoke to property twice about number of guests. Bed was uncomfortable and dangerous has sharp metal down the side. Really bad for children staying in the room.

Came hungry left even hungry!! Not good at all
Ordered a 'special' red tai curry worth £20. Came in a tiny dish, rock hard microwaved rice, raw slimy prawns and a huge dollop of cheap curry sauce. Both soup starters we had came cold and one tasted as though it was drenched in Sambuca! Came hungry left hungry. Expected so much better from other reviews but wont be returning anytime soon! Awful

Dont bother
Food is okish. I had the steak and asked for medium but it came out rare. The grey haired older woman that runs it is so rude and obnoxious. Love, you live in a little pub that no one cares about. If you were so important you would have retired 20 year ago but instead your on your feet everyday. You’re deluded !

Awful stay at the Cottons hotel
Dirty beds, ants and loud rooms. Over booked rooms (and keys to said rooms given out to multiple sets of guests!). Other guests starting fights and stealing. Items missing from food order at breakfast. This is NOT a four star hotel. I wouldn't stay again even if it were given to me for free. Sorry.

Awful, depressing place - Avoid
Before I even arrived I had a bad experience with Victoria in reservations who was rude and unhelpful. My room (and the whole hotel) was tired and shabby. The spa was not clean and there were several drunks in the sauna etc. (one of whom said she worked there !). They were serving alcohol in glasses around the pool area. Breakfast was a disaster-with the fruit salad arriving after the cooked breakfasts...I could go on. ..suffice to say this is an awful place on the edge of an industrial estate.

A bloody awful meal
Overpriced food, poor quality. My friend found foreign objects in her pudding, and sent it back. Some staff had attitude, and not acceptable to be moved out of the dining area to continue with our drinks into a packed standing room only bar area from an em[ty dinning area. Was advised this place was recommended, it was crap.

Conned on afternoon tea.
Booked the afternoon tea for myself and friend for their birthday. On the website it says the price is £30. We enjoyed the food and service itself, but when it came to pay, our bill was £60. I questioned why it was double and the waitress said it was pp for the AT. On the website and menu there is nowhere it states its per person. No * used or small print, and was not explained when booked/on arrival and being seated.

Mismanagement at the Aztec Hotel
We booked and paid for a signature family room, but when we opened the door, there were other people in the room. Quite embarrassing experience as obviously the room was double booked. Eventually we were given a standard double bed room and the sofa was turned into an extra bed for our son. There was no compensation.

What the heck was going on?
The food, whilst I can’t say has been bad in recent times, it is not what it used to be and it has gone down-hill. The customer service however, has noticeably declined. Gone are the friendly and helpful staff who could guarantee a decent service, rather it appears to be more of a bunch of kids in charge here, arguable more interested in socialising than taking down the details of orders correctly, nor ensuring all meals arrive somewhat together – if at all.
