John Mulkerrin's Comments

Thanks John. I couldn't find any information on the CIC regulator site.

Thanks for this John.

Can I call you this afternoon between 3 and 5pm?

Kind Regards,

Chris Jordan

John,

Can we have a conversation sometime?

i am not sure how this works? I have left a comment and had an E mail confirmation, but I cannot see it on the site?

Am I doing something wrong?

Thanks,

Hi John

who is Joseph Mclaughlin? He has sent me a note via the site which sounds very dubious.

Kind regards

thanks john just about to escape on holiday but around this afternoon … or in a couple of weeks time

Hi John, all ok? You responded to our initial post and we look forward to you phoning.

Cheers,

Stew .

Hi John thank you so much for such a prompt reply" Are you a lawyer? Do you work with start ups? I would love a chat if you're available? grazie simona

Is it possible to talk to you direct please John.

I am currently looking at options to either disolve or continue with our CIC being dormant.

I would really value a quick chat with you.

Steve Blake who was our MD and a very good friend of mine died on 28/12/17 and as an not active CIC we need to work out the best thing to do.

Unfortunately we have zero funding available to even seek advice.

Thank you, John Mulkerrin, for accepting me into the association, and for the initial advice. Apologies for the late response, just finding it too easy to get taken off track at the minute.

What I am hoping to gain from membership is to be steered in the right direction. The CIC I am looking to form is going to be loosely based on the Men's Shed phenomenon, that is currently sweeping the country. It will have a specific task to work with former serving members of HM Armed Forces.

We want to be able to offer a workshop facility to aid the transition from service, back into civilian life. We will be offering training in woodcraft and metalcraft, and hopefully, be in a position to assist in job search, and indeed, employ some of the volunteers ourselves.

Many ex service personnel find this transition difficult due to the lack of structure that they had during their service. As a result, a lot of these people are feeling abandoned, and this can lead to them finding themselves in further difficulties, such as homelessness. Our aim is to give these people something to aim for, whilst maintaining some form of the structure that they know well, from time in service.

Any advice on this would be most welcome. Many thanks in advance to all.

Hi John 

I set up a new group but have not had a confirmation of its approval, it was the one about B-Corp certification which is a rising topic for CIC's

What is the process and when will i get confirmation of it being set up

Hello John,

I have a query re cic limited by shares v limited by guarantee, I can give you more information just checking if you're the right person, can you help?

Hi John

I am thinking about CICs with a sufficient number of members (who may not all know each other), that formally electing directors, rather than just confirming their appointment by ordinary resolution, is relevant. I was thinking of GP commissioning groups and Nene Commissioning in particular, which serves Northants and which is registered as a CIC. However looking at their website, there is virtually nothing about governance or how they are funded, and you can become a 'member' without contributing any share capital. That seems just like a public relations exercise to me and the doctors just want to get rich off the NHS, hardly in the spirit of CICs. However if any of your members represent CICs with many members - probably hundreds at least - they might be interested in what I have to suggest. What do you think? Worth discussing or wasting people's time?

Hi John

First of all thank you for allowing someone who is not associated with a CIC to become a member of the Association. I will try not to abuse the privilege. The 8000 or so CICs come in all shapes and sizes. My suggestions would probably only apply to a minority. I think the best way to start is to put an article on my blog  and put a link to it on this wall.

regards

David
