The violent past of the man behind Victoria plc’s troublesome subsidiary
In November 2010, Batash Karim stood before the judge at Bradford Crown Court.
The 31-year old, who lived at Gordon Street in the Yorkshire town of Keighley, was on trial for his part in a violent attack that left a man with life-threatening injuries. During the trial, witnesses described how the victim — who denied in court that he was a member of a local drug gang — had been struck with weapons including an axe and kicked and punched by a group of men.
Karim and five others were cleared of attempted murder but found guilty of the lesser crimes of unlawful wounding and violent disorder.
“You went out armed with weapons, prepared for a confrontation and taking the law into your own hands,” the judge told the six men, while handing down 18-month prison sentences, according to a report in the Bradford Telegraph & Argus. “It was a horrendous episode of public disorder in Keighley late at night.”
That same month, a 31-year old Batash Karim stepped down as a director of Ezi Floor Limited. Karim had incorporated the manufacturer of carpet underlay four years earlier in 2006, listing his address as Gordon Street in Keighley.
Are the two Batash Karims the same person?
According to Victoria plc, it should not matter. But it is a question that has long troubled shareholders of the Aim-quoted carpet maker, whose shares briefly plunged as much as 20 per cent last Monday after its auditor warned there was a “risk of material fraud” in its accounts.
Grant Thornton’s qualified audit opinion focused on a host of issues at subsidiary Hanover Flooring, identifying “risk factors of fraud”, breaches of money laundering regulations and “potential irregularities in respect of certain transactions”. Notably, Victoria’s management and board imposed a limitation of scope, preventing Grant Thornton from carrying out further audit work on these issues at Hanover.
Victoria purchased Hanover in 2021 from Batash Karim, who stayed on as the manager of the carpet distribution business. He is also a director of Hanover Flooring alongside Geoff Wilding, Victoria’s executive chair, who since taking the helm in 2012 has spearheaded an acquisition spree of more than 20 flooring companies. |
Spamming with BS ? The shorters have gone ;-) |
Dry traders taking 63p and 64p again 😴 |
The other pertinent point is that he keeps on adding! Still more TR1's to come I think! |
Actually if 2 insiders are buying something probably isn't brewing ! But also much reduces the chances of something not good happening ! |
Yup. Something is brewing for sure. |
Wow another 1%. His holding is now worth £3.4m |
Saqib Karim adding
Over 5% now |
This was over a quid 2 months ago, £2 in June, IMO with the cost savings coming through, with even flat revenue this should be £100m +EBITDA p.a. so I wonder if it may get a few tips and others buying into the NY recovery play and building frenzy that Labour want to create.....let's see.
DYOR and merry Christmas |
Wish a certain few would stop spamming this thread with BS |

He may still be buying too |
What does Karim - an insider - know that the market doesn’t? No-one invests that much capital without a very high degree of confidence in the future upside. |
Yep you wouldn’t want to be out of this at the weekend |
