perth restaurateur Scott Taylor’s company owes at least $3.5 million to creditors.
Mr Taylor and his sister Angie Lee Taylor are co-directors of Element WA, the company which ran The Trustee, Beaufort Local and Enrique’s School for Bullfighting.
Element WA was placed in voluntary administration on October 30. Just weeks later, the brother and sister opened a new restaurant on St Georges Terrace called The Butcher’s Arms.
Mr Taylor, 40, declined to reveal how much his company owed suppliers, when contacted by The Sunday Times in November.
But administrator Jeremy Nipps, from Cor Cordis, confirmed this week that at least $3.5 million is owed to creditors including landlords, suppliers, the Australian Taxation Office and a bank.
The figure includes at least $518,514 owed to The Trustee landlord Brookfield Place, $338,519 owed to the Australian Tax Office, $221,322.07 owed to Beaufort Street Local and Enrique’s School for Bullfighting landlord Benjamin and Co, and $6928 owed to wine supplier David Mullen Agency.
