A well-known figure from the Manchester tech scene has been banned as a company director until 2033.
Jack Mason is a former CEO of Dreamr, which he co-founded with Mylo Kaye. The app developer went insolvent in 2019 owing hundreds of thousands of pounds to HMRC.
Mason subsequently co-founded Inc & Co, a disparate collective of digital businesses, with Scott Dylan and David Antrobus.
In 2021, Mason directed eight companies to move more than £12 million through unauthorised Barclays bank overdrafts to companies controlled by Dylan and Antrobus.
Mason failed in his duties as director to prevent those unauthorised overdrafts, the Insolvency Service said.
In 2024 the trio were each handed 22-month prison sentences for breaching freezing orders connected to these overdrafts. The judge accused them of “lying prolifically” to cover up their actions.
Only Dylan – now based in Dublin, and formerly based in Salford – has been jailed to date, after serving half of his sentence. Mason, 36, continues to live in Barcelona.
