More trouble for the Pubboy empire?

The Pubboy empire, assembled by former BRW Young Rich list member, Mark Alexander-Erber, appears to be in more trouble, with the Financial Review reporting today that six Pubboy pubs have been put on the market.

Property reporter Ben Wilmot wrote that:

Sims Partners was appointed as voluntary administrators to seven Pubboy Group companies to look at the possibility of a reconstruction. But it is now acting as liquidator.

The appointment of a liquidator contrasts with the passionate comments of Alexander-Erber to Crikey in February. After Crikey questioned BRW’s assessment of Alexander-Erber’s wealth (which was estimated by BRW as being $20 million in 2006) and the future of the Pubboy chain, the colourful self-made entrepreneur hit back, on Crikey’s website, claiming that:

Adam Schwab are you kidding — Pubboy hasnt collapsed — if you call restructuring the group that was built up from scratch … going broke then you havent got a clue … if you want facts … call at any time but that that would be to easy to report the facts.

According to receiver, Jack Bournelis of PPB, Alexander-Erber’s role in the restructure won’t be major. Bournelis (who was appointed by Pubboy creditor ANZ) told the Financial Review that “there had been no deed of company arrangement proposed and Mr Alexander-Erber has no ongoing involvement with the hotels”.

The impending liquidation of Pubboy and lack of involvement by Alexander-Erber appears to contradict some of the comments on the Pubboy website, which notes that:

The Pubboy Group has had an amazing year …..not only has it been recognized as one of Australia’s fastest Growing company for the second year (2005 and 2006) in a row in the prestigious BRW Fast 100 company list, we were nominated for Entrepreneur of the year by Ernst and Young.

Crikey tried to take up Alexander-Erber’s offer to “call at any time”. Unfortunately, we were unable to reach Pubboy as the telephone at its head-office is no longer connected.

    HI everyone, my daughter used to work for Mark and she has told me a lot of things about pubboy, some good, some bad, but mostly bad. Actually my daughter said that NORWICH is actually Mark. oh by the way, Mark does not have the PORSCHE anymore because the financing company has confiscated it months ago, together with the black Range rover huhuhuhuhuhu.

    See my daughter is a very good girl. I will give you a clue. She looks like ROSIE O’DONNELL .

    Adam,

    A lot of employees from this group lost a lot especially our superannuation. We don’t believe that the pubs will be sold at a decent price, you should see the state of all these pubs…… Alexander-Erber is all BARK bowwowwow, NO BITE at ALL.

    Adam, can you please ask Jack how we can claim our monies because I don’t think that we will get our money back from alexander-erber. Is alexander-erber’s house at rose bay for sale? how about their paddington apartment? or their place at hunter valley. someone saw alexander-erber driving a jaguar and a prado (black). please ask Jack if alexander-erber is liable to all thepeople that he owes money to?

    We feel that we are at a lost.

    All I can say it is about time this loser got his just deserts.. I am ashamed to admit it but I once worked for this knob jockey. Mr Alexander-Erber .has an over-flated opinion of himself. He is a shady underhanded individual who would not pay creditors. It got so bad that the garbage company refused to collect the rubbish because they were owed 60days in payments.Plumber stopped taking calls and the refridgeration repairman told us to take a hike under NO circumstances would he EVER do work for him again due to not being paid. Not to mention the fact it was difficult to get paid on time. A meglomaniac whose fall from grace is being applauded by many.. Mark you can keep your disgusting beer and shove it where the sun doesn’t shine…I hope you fall hard and dont recover.. You are a sucky person who deserves this and a whole lot more…
