Film producer’s 50 firms struck off companies register, leaving workers unable to chase fees

Scores of Alan Latham's firms were removed by Companies House, including one set up for movie starring Liz Hurley

A prolific film producer, whose projects have starred the likes of Frasier's Kelsey Grammer and Four Weddings and a Funeral's Anna Chancellor, has had scores of his production businesses forcibly removed from the UK's companies register, leaving workers unable to chase unpaid fees.

Alan Latham, whose low-budget films have previously raised questions over his use of tax credits, has seen 50 of his film businesses compulsorily struck off by Companies House, according to data compiled by the film workers' union, Bectu.
