It has been brought to my attention via THF (The Hockey Forum, for those who don't know), that a number of EIHL directors resigned over the summer and were replaced by people and companies not involved with any specific clubs. Our own Neil Morris was one of them.
The new directors make for quite an interesting read though (thanks to a bit of an investigation at Companies House):
First up is 'Twillingx Ltd'. Based in Cardiff, they appear to be owned by a Cardiff based Brit, and a Swedish gentleman (Mr P. Hemden, and Mr A Christiansson respectively). No details as to the nature of the business are given. Listed as 'Other'.
Secondly we have a Swedish buildings company, 'Frejhuset Ab', who appear to be involved in the manufacture and construction of 'modular buildings'. Based in Malmo.
And Finally we have another Swedish gentleman, named Mr Lars Ake Olsson. There are no further details given for him.
Now, to me this is interesting in the extreme. Presumably, to be granted seats on the EIHL Board of Directors, some money has been invested in the EIHL/shares in EIHL Ltd have been purchased. If this is the case, then it explodes the myth that the clubs run the league on thier own.
Could this mean that there is to be further investment in the EIHL?
EDIT @ 2pm:
It appears that Twillingx Ltd are operating out of a building which is owned by Tomas Enerston under the name Engerstrom which may be a non anglicised version of his surname), erstwhile former owner of the Basingstoke Bison, and that he may be involved in the company also. There is also some speculation that one of the companies involved (most probably Twillingx) could be bankrupt, but I have no verification of this.
Whats worrying is that Enerston may be involved
