Looks like BCUK are folding just seen on the FB barrow conversions site.
Don't know how true that is though as whoever posted it says it's a mate of a mate that's said it, he fishes with the owner and by all accounts he's let slip he's packing it in, kit up for sale on selling sites etc...

Someone else posted the other day that Mitch Plowman has a history of folding companies then setting back up in another name. Apparently this time he's going to start up again doing ordinary garden barrow conversions.

Looks like he runs alll his companies the same way. Can't be arsed with his customers, provides an awful service to most then shuts up shop when word gets out.

It's true, he's ran away and the company is no more. Within 45 days it'll be liquidated.
The shop is completely empty and the scamming c**t is selling off equipment on marketplace.
As has already been said, he's starting up again doing wheelbarrow conversions and you can bet your bottom dollar these are the same wheels, wheels purchased using customers money of which they never receive.
100's and 100's of people left in the lurch and it'll be a race to claim money back now

I feel lucky now as I only ordered handles and actually got them. To think that so and so called my wife a liar on the phone

I just hope people who have outstanding orders get their money back, one way or the other, banks etc.

Apols but this was an obvious example of major cash flow / supplier issues from the outset - a timebomb waiting to happen. Feel sorry for all those that took the risk as the marketing and product itself looked good . . .

Mate - are you being straight up. I know guys that have shelled out with this firm and waiting for gear, there decent blokes that don't suffer fools lightly. That Mitch Plowman bloke needs to sort this out as i can tell you now, he will have massive problems with some of the guys that he has mugged off that already has his address in Dorking and will be traveliing down to get their coin back. We are talking a lot of money here.

What a feckin chancer that bloke is.

For 12 months or more this clown and his company have been taking the piss. Nailed on to go under at any moment.

So can someone explain why people were still paying over their hard earned right up till the last minute?

Not like it's a secret is it? Posts on every type of social media going for months now, if you've been burned you only have yourself to blame.


This type of thing only goes to show how easy it is to mug off a Carp angler, no prizes for guessing why it's so easy.

Apparently already started up a youtube channel for his new equine barrow company. Don't know how the guy sleeps at night.

He has obviously been getting away with this for years, taking peoples money and then dissolving the company etc

This time though - he has done it to people that will not let him dance off into the sunset with their money. All the names of the directors and addresses have been clocked on Companies House.

The knock on his front door is inevitable.

Anyone know much info about ‘The Barrowman' is this just a coincidence that a new companies started up on the back of Bcuk folding or an actual genuine person? There isn't that much info i can see on the site with pictures etc or where the companies based - Thanks in advance.
