He actually stated he was employed by Britannia Law as a debt collector.
He did not enjoy the job and felt increasingly uncomfortable with their practices which whilst legal he felt were morally questionable. Left the company after 9 or 10 months if my memory serves me correctly. Also said this was when he was about 25.
He denied knowing any Nottingham crime syndicates and has never been involved in drug dealing or money laundering.
He admitted to having changed his name once (from White to Hilton) for what he said were family reasons and has not gone under any other names.
He stated he is not a property developer, he buys and sells land. He specialises in problematic land either with covenants or waste issues, sorts out the issues then gets planning permission and sells on.
Usually does this as a sole trader but occasionally with partners. He explained his companies without trading histories as companies created to buy specific plots of land but where he was unsuccessful at the auction stage. He has some history of conflict with councils over planning but claimed that was an inevitable factor of the business he is in.
Other than that he cracked 3 or 4 jokes at the former owners expense which obviously were going to be well received with an audience of 200 Iron fans.
Whether you liked or indeed believe his answers he did not duck any questions and actively encouraged them. He also said he was happy to answer questions from Iron fans at any time going forward.
