A DIRECTOR of a computer sales, supply and maintenance businesses that failed with debts of about £37,000 has been disqualified from acting as a company director for three-and-a-half years.

Gary Henderson, of Malvern Way, Newton Aycliffe, County Durham, was disqualified in respect of his conduct as a director of Computers Software and Supplies Ltd.

The company, which carried out business from premises at Bede House, St Cuthbert's Way, Aycliffe Industrial Park, was wound up by Darlington County Court on October 24, 2001, with estimated debts of £37,000 owed to its creditors.

The Disqualification Order, made on February 7, prevents Mr Henderson from being a director of a company or concerned in or taking part in the promotion, formation or management of a company for three-and-a-half years.

The court found that Mr Henderson permitted the company to trade to the detriment of the Inland Revenue for more than four years, which amounted to unfit conduct.
