The owner of UK battery start-up Britishvolt risks being wound up within weeks after one of its former employees started legal action to reclaim months of unpaid wages
The former employee of Recharge Industries on Monday served a statutory demand on the company, which gives it 21 days to pay the outstanding wages.
If the debt is not cleared, the former employee would be entitled to go to court to pursue bankruptcy proceedings against Recharge.
In February, Australian entrepreneur David Collard’s Recharge agreed to buy Britishvolt, including its development site in Blythe, for £8.6m and subsequently made an initial payment of £6.1m.
