Steve Paul remembers clearly how he found out about the Carillion collapse. At the time he was running his plastering and flooring business in the West Midlands.
His company, SDP Floorscreeds Ltd, had big contracts with Carillion for building floors on the £300 million Midland Metropolitan Hospital project, in Birmingham.
On the day, in January 2018, Steve got a call from one of his supervisors on the Metropolitan project. It was about eight in the morning.
