A top businesswoman has been banned as a company director for 11 years over Covid loan abuse.

Anna Daroy secured £100,000 in Bounce Back Loan funds for her management consultancy Globepoint Associates Ltd in 2020, when it should only have received £50,000.

The 61-year-old, who has had a 35-year career in the public and private sectors advising boards and executive teams, should have repaid one of the loans when she realised her company had received double the amount it was entitled to, the Insolvency Service said.
