Since this thread is about Fraser Eagle I feel the need to say that this refers to Alan Robinson and not Alan Dyson (owner of Fraser Eagle)

It is but a thin line between ownership and directorship
EN for Business - Fly like an eagle
extract-
Dyson is now sole owner of the original group businesses, although management have stakes in some recently-formed subsidiaries. Dyson very much takes a back (non-executive), seat in the running of the business nowadays, according to Dean: “It has to be quite a clinical relationship because otherwise it can get quite sentimental at times.”

alan was the owner when they were at tanpits
but is now a mere director and has been for some time
as the whole op was taken out of his hands and run by accountants

Well coming back yesterday from spuggies there was coach transfer from lockerbie to lancaster train stations and it was Frazer Eagle doing it. Also there was frazer eagle management consultants hanging around making sure you got on the right coach. I didnt travel on the Frazer Eagle coach .. it was full .. went on one that they'd hired in their name.

[coachman]

they have lost that contract too

[lancsdave]

Heard a rumour that they have actually gone in to administration today.

[coachman]

yes its true .fraser eagle in administration ..but its not down to credit crunch just poor bad management .
