'Cult' Leader family biggest Covid winners

The leader of the Plymouth Brethren, Bruce Hales, has four sons, Gareth, Dean, Gregory & Charles. In the course of our investigation into the Plymouth Brethren, we found that they link to over £2.5 billion of the £3 billion Covid contracts won by members of this highly secretive cult. 

The companies where the Hales family are either shareholders, directors or have strong links are Unispace, Sante Global, Sterilab Services, Core Supply Group, Coulmed Products, Westlab, 2San, Medco Solutions, Klondike Lubricants, Inivos. In total these ten companies were awarded Covid contracts worth over £2,500,000,000 (£2.5 billion) across the UK, US, Australia, Netherlands & Canada. 

Unispace £726 million (UK £684 million, USA £42 million).
Sante Global £850k (USA)

Core Supply Group £272 million (Netherlands)
Coulmed Products £127 million (USA)
Westlab £21 million (AUS)
2san £14.5 million (AUS)
Medco Solutions £1 billion (UK)
Klondike Lubricants £1.25 million (Canada)
Inivos £121 million (UK)

TOTAL £2,556,000,000 (£2.556 Billion)

Unispace & Sante Global

The Hales family link to Unispace through Gareth & Charles being the main shareholders. They sold Unispace after the contracts were won and it appears that the contracts then novated to Sante Global. Gareth & Charles are the main shareholders in Sante Global. The UK contracts were awarded via the VIP route following communication with government minister Michael Gove.

​Unispace Global Ltd accounts show that the Ultimate parent company was Unispace Global PTY Ltd. Confirmation of the sale of Unispace and the owners.

Sante Global Ltd accounts show Gareth & Charles Hales with significant influence and control.

Sterilab Services

Sterilab Services contract for £272 million on the UK Government Contract finder website, lists Sante Global LLP as the supplier. There is currently an ongoing court case, where Sante & Sterilab have taken the DHSC to court.

Sterilab Services contract to supply Lateral Flow Test/Rapid Antigen tests to the UK govt, shows the link to Sante Global. We still find this unusual as this does not appear in the register of contracts on the UK government website. 

Core Supply Group

Core Supply Group is owned by Lincoln Clarkson and they share the Ox Tools premises in the Netherlands. Employees show on linkedIn that have worked for both Ox Tools & Core Supply. Ox Tools main shareholder is Dean Hales. The Sante Global website also uses the Core Supply contract as showcasing their success. 
​ We can show Lincoln Clarkson as a director of Ox Tools Netherlands. Ox Tools Global CEO is Dean Hales. We have also included a picture of the premises that both Ox Tools & Core Supply Group operate from in the Netherlands, Oud Camp 22, Maasland, 3155DL. Ox Group Netherlands BV changed their company name to Core Supply Group.

Coulmed Products

The Coulmed Products contract is again highlighted by Sante Global as a Sante success story on their website. ​ Products are showcased as a success by Sante Global on their website. The managing director of Coulmed is Mike Macdougall. Mike's brother Rob Macdougall according to his linkedin is also a director of one of Dean Hales companies 2San. 

Westlab

Westlab is owned by the Grace family in Australia and again we have evidence of them working in close conjunction with Sante Global.
A  linkedin post shows them working in collaboration with Sante Global. We also have evidence similar  to Coulmed & Core Supply where Sante Global claim this contract win on their website. The link between Sante & Westlab was also reported in the Australian media.

2SAN

The 2SAN major shareholder in Australia is Dean Hales. They are also the company that recruited a senior leadership team of thirteen  former Test & Trace employees.

Medco Solutions

Medco Solutions PTY Ltd & Medco Solutions LLC both show Dean Hales as the main shareholder.
He is also listed alongside Ross & Luke Robertson the UK directors  of Medco Solutions Ltd in a company called Meraki Global Investments. The directors of Meraki Global Investments also include Lee Hazell, brother of Anthony Hazell of Unispace/Sante Global.

Klondike Lubricants

Klondike Lubricants operate from the same premises as 2SAN in Canada.   The company  is owned by Brad Mitchell, who worked at Ox Tools, the company owned by Dean Hales. Hales also owns Orvato Healthcare. The address is the same in Canada for Klondike Lubricants, Orvato, Ox Tools & previously 2SAN. It is worth noting that 2SAN appear to have changed many if not all of their global addresses since conception.

Inivos

We didn't want to leave Greg Hales out, so we did a bit of digging and we found a link to Inivos. Under their previous company name, Inivos received a trademark on their Deprox brand in the UK. Strangely enough there is also a trademark for Deprox in Australia which is registered to Greg Hales. The address used to register this trademark was owned by Bruce Hales & his wife.   

Contracts for 'Cult' Leader

In summary there were ten different companies listed above who were awarded contracts worth over £2.5 billion, all with major links to the  family of cult leader Bruce Hales.
