KPMG, the administrators of airline parts supplier Aero Inventory, has billed over £2m in time costs for their first month in charge.

A statement of affairs and creditors' report has highlighted the firm's time cost equate to £2,012,075 for administration work for AIUK and a further £17,000.50 for work in respect of AIPLC, between 11 November and 11 December.

The firm believes it will be able to repay preferential creditors in full and a dividend to unsecured creditors of approximately 1.1p in the pound.

Jim Tucker, Richard Heis and Allan Graham were appointed joint administrators in November.

Theft ????

£1 million pound a month ????????

They're as delusional as Gordon Brown!

"It's not the hours you put in, it's what you produce from what you put into the hours."

Remuneration should be based on results i.e. as a percentage of realisations, net of agents fees!

What about the unpaid former employees???

As a former Aero Inventory (USA), Inc. employee who is owed around $5200 American from AI, I have to say that I am deeply offended with what appears to be a complete lack of regard by the media for the losses incurred by AI's former employees who have yet to receive their final paychecks.

A $5K loss may seem like nothing in the grand scheme of things but to myself, who is currently in the process of trying to buy my first home, and my fellow unpaid former co-workers, it means ALOT. Shame on you and your faulty news coverage.
