The blaze destroyed gift shops—operating under names like “House of Treasure” and “Kingdom of Treats”—that were already under investigation for unpaid business rates totaling hundreds of thousands of pounds. The company behind them, Bwn Beverage Ltd, led by 29-year-old London-based director Rumi Chowdhury, had previously faced asset seizures. Council leader Jane Meagher condemned “rogue businesses” that dodge taxes, emphasizing fairness for compliant operators. Enforcement actions, including asset and bank account seizures via Sheriff Court, are being aggressively pursued. Criterion Capital, while prioritizing safety and thanking emergency crews, is now being probed for ties to the non-paying company.
