Half a billion quid to become competitive again suggests recovery will be hard, slow work Carillion will forever hold the title of most self-deluded outsourcer but Capita, on the account provided by the new chief executive, Jonathan Lewis, deserves a place on the podium. Two years ago, the share price was £10, the dividend was lifted 9% and the group boasted that its profit margins were about to get fatter. Capita, in short, was presenting itself as an oasis of calm in a sector already under stress. Now the company is issuing 1bn new shares at 70p

Unscrupulous builders can close an insolvent firm, then start afresh under a new name, leaving homeowners who have paid deposits thousands of pounds out of pocket – and with unfinished workPensioner James Bidwell* decided to invest his savings in a conservatory and bifold doors at his home in Sevenoaks, Kent. Sussex Double Glazing submitted a tempting estimate via a job quote website and its director, Luke Tester, visited Bidwell’s house to assess the job in February 2017. The quote was £21,760 and Bidwell was asked to pay £6,435.50 by bank transfer as a deposit. That was the last he saw of Tester. “By April I had heard nothing and started chasing,” he says. “If Luke responded to my messages it was with lies about progress. After 20 emails and over two months since I paid the deposit, I advised that I was cancelling the contract and demanded my deposit back. He said I didn’t have a leg to stand on.”
