The former Director General of the Institute of Directors has been disqualified as a company director for 11 years after abusing the government’s Covid Bounce Back Loan scheme.
Anna Daroy, 61, of Abbots Morton, Worcestershire, secured two maximum-value £50,000 loans for her management consultancy, Globepoint Associates Ltd, in May 2020 — despite businesses only being entitled to one.
The loans, totalling £100,000, were obtained within just five days during the pandemic. Investigators found Daroy failed to repay one of the loans even after realising the company had received double the amount allowed.
Globepoint Associates went into liquidation in March 2023, with both loans outstanding.
