Purplebricks has fallen-through The final chapter in the sorry tale of Purplebricks has come to light after the company today announced it is selling the firm’s assets and business to Strike for £1, pending approval by its shareholders. It also marks one of the UK’s biggest corporate falls from grace – Purplebricks was valued at one stage in the billions of pounds – and has now been sold for less than a KitKat. Today’s announcement reveals that CEO Helena Marston (pictured) is to resign from the company as will the rest of the board except the CFO Dominique Highfield and it will exit the stock market and cancel all its shares. https://thenegotiator.co.uk/breaking-purplebricks-sold-to-strike-for-just-1/
