Begbies Traynor recovery expert Chris Herron is gaining a bit of a reputation for being pursued by ‘unsatisfied’ brides across the UK.

Apparently Herron is working as administrator on a second online wedding gift company that has got itself into a spot of financial bother.

The first, The Gift Registry, saw him chased by brides claiming that the company’s collapse had ruined their special day. But his skills in dodging veiled assassins led to him being recruited for the latest troubled business, Wedding List Direct. ‘While of course it’s flattering to be appointed, I fear I’ll soon get a reputation for being Mr Doom for Brides,’ he says.

TS can but wonder how many toasters and kettles poor Herron has flogged on behalf of his creditors.
