Covid Contracts

Castle Industrial Supplies are the only direct winner of a covid contract, supplying Warrington Council with PPE. Digging deeper though and we find significant links to other contracts.

One of the shareholder of Havwoods Global Holdings is none other than Sydney, Australia based Dean Hales, son of church leader Bruce Hales. The Dean Hales empire includes many companies such as, Medco Solutions in Australia & the US. Medco Solutions were awarded contract with a value of over £1 billion in the UK! Dean is also a shareholder in 2SAN, who won a contract in Australia to supply RAT's/LFT's. He is also the brother of Charles & Gareth Hales, two more sons of church leader Bruce. Charles & Gareth were the owners at the time that Unispace was awarded contracts worth £673 million by the DHSC in the UK. They are also the owners of Sante Global, which was awarded a further contract of £273 million by the DHSC in the UK. Also being awarded a contract for a further £273 million by the Dutch government. Following on from the covid contracts, 2SAN have been included in a framework agreement in the UK. 2SAN Global earlier in 2022, appointed four of the senior leaders of the UK's infamous Test & Trace team.

Coincidence

One oddity we came across in our research. Strongdor Sales Director, Terry James, who happens to be the brother in law of Simon Whiley and the son in law of Oliver Whiley, was formerly a director of his fathers business, Sterling GP in Stokesley near Middlesborough. Stokesley is in the constituency of one Rishi Sunak, Sunak can be seen pictured here in 2021 visiting the James family business.
