Misco UK’s old building on the banks of the River Clyde in Inverclyde has been sold off in a £1.1 million deal.
Computer reseller Misco UK went tits up last year and has fallen into administration. The purchase by the Easdale brothers, who own McGill’s Bus Service, takes its recent property investments to more than £5 million.
The Inverclyde warehouse, located in the west end of the town adjacent to Royal Bank of Scotland’s mortgage processing centre, is to be marketed for lease by agents Breck Sutherland within the next few months.
Misco maked a huge mistake by shifting its “high level customer service agents” from the UK to Hungary. A report into the company collapse said that the large majority of back-office functions were moved to a sister company in Hungary, this included its high level customer service agents. This meant the loss of the UK-based customer service team with expert knowledge and a downturn in sales.
In the end the tax man forced the shut down of the whole operation after the company could not flog itself off.
