A former boss of Inc & Co and his business associate have been banned from operating as company directors for a combined 23 years.

Scott Dylan, 41, has been banned for 13 years while David Antrobus, 39 and also formerly of Salford, allowed £13.9 million to pass through two companies using unauthorised bank overdrafts – with Dylan himself receiving £1.675m.

The duo opened bank accounts for the two companies in spring 2021 and made millions of pounds in transfers before the accounts were frozen by Barclays Bank, which subsequently demanded repayment. 

They subsequently defied the freezing injunctions, leading to contempt of court proceedings and jail terms for both.

Their bans as company directors begin on Christmas Day after a High Court ruling earlier this month.

Dylan was described by the judge as the “driving force” behind the operation, which was “little short of a scam”. There was “no legitimate purpose” for the removal of the funds, the judge added.
