The true story of the most dramatic "Greenfield Startup" failure in British manufacturing history

Malcy – The Wilderness Years

When UK Hardboard was in it’s final few weeks, the existing team of Malcolm, Sean, Bob, Graeme, Guy and Hazel did various tasks, such as bring the business plan for the new hardboard mill up to date, and visit a couple of potential backers in France.

From That point, back in 1989, until about mid 1992, none of them heard from Malcom very much. He went through a series of financial backers, who supported him with offices, secretarial support, and work, while he continued to try and raise the capital to build the mill.

Then, in 1992, we heard he had found his latest backer, and was set up in offices in Imperial Road, Fulham, London
