There is now a chat forum where questions etc can be posted. A much better alternative than me trying to keep on top of all the emails. I will however continue to inform and coordinate those who want to remain totally anonymous.
Many Many Thanks to Peter!

Some Albany Companies In Administration (UPDATE)
Sadly, Albany Technologies has or is now going into administration, I guess this means all UK companies will as expected. This news comes in a Letter from Shelley Ecclestone.
The Albany Group are seeking Administration for the following companies.
Albany EMEA Ltd
Albany Employment Services Ltd
Albany Management UK Ltd
Albany Technologies
The note tells people therefore not to contact the company until the Administrators have been appointed.
Although expected, it is still shocking and sad news.
I am sorry for everybody involved ! Thanks Peter.

EMAILS - PLEASE READ
There are so many email addresses now I am not sure I have everybody on the mailing list. I have sent an email out this evening 4th FEB 2010. If you didn't receive one then you are not on the list. Please email me again with the subject heading ADD TO LIST.
Mirasol Letter
IMPORTANT NOTICE
I have edited this Blog in light of the comments made below ! Please let me know if I write anything that can be construed as illegal or unethical or even hurtful. This site is for information sharing only and not to defame or cause distress TO ANYONE and that includes current or past employees of Albany or Mirasol, please help in this.
UPDATE: People are now being told by Sarah Morrey that the Mirasol money will be paid, this is the opposite of what Martin Glick is saying.
With regard to the Letter from Sarah Morrey today on behalf of the Directors of Mirasol.
I think from this letter that things are slightly better than some people have been saying i.e the fund has not been plundered.
Mirasol was not as disconnected from Albany as I was lead to believe and I was shocked to hear that :-
1) it is at the Directors discretion whether money can be distributed to members! So what is the motivation to distribute now other than goodwill !
2) This company is registered in Turks and Caiscos Islands ! Why are the telephone numbers in Switzerland???? I thought that this was basically an off-shore Bank Account at RBS.
There is an indication in the letter with regard to Legal Action being stopped, I saw this action going against RBS not Albany. I think this is very sad position to take at this stage.
I should have investigated this more at the beginning , sadly I didn't.
Here is a link to the letter in the forum :-

Does anybody know who the Directors of Mirasol are?
