Jerome Mol

Jerome Mol (aka Jeroen Mol)

Who is Jerome Mol? Like most people, it depends who you ask. Looking at his Linked In profile (http://www.linkedin.com/in/jeromehmol) you will see that it lists a dizzying array of companies that he has been involved with. It suggests that his career began in 1987 with Prolin and that today he is back working with this company and many more including GP Ventures, Evineage, GPXS Services and Bay Area Holding. He describes himself as “a serial entrepreneur” .. “who roll up their (sic) sleeves” which is an interesting description in light of the causes of the failure of GPXS Holding Ltd.

What is more curious though is his description of his time at GPX Holding from January 2005 to 2010. It reads:

“GPXS improves enterprise productivity with mobile IT management software, applications, training and support, especially focussed around the BlackBerry platform.

GPXS was established in December 2002. The company is privately owned, raised $10million from private investors and has two successful spinoffs todate, GPXS Services AG and Colibri Mobile BV”

Not that one would expect him to, but he doesn’t mention how the company folded. You can see the full story here http://thetruthaboutgpxs.com/demise-of-gpxs-holding/

It is interesting to note that many of the companies he was involved in ceased to trade or he ceased to be involved with them in the 2008-2010 period. As well as GPXS Holding he is also no longer involved with

  • Vizuri Ltd (since Nov 2008 after 7 years)
  • Tornado Inside (since Dec 2008 after 10 years)
  • GP Teampark (since Dec 2008 after 6years)
  • M7 Software (since Dec 2008 after 3 years).

 

Similar to his reference to GPXS Holding Ltd, his comments on his involvement with these firms says nothing abut how his time with them finished or what the standing of those companies is now.

However a check at Companies House in the UK does reveal an interesting pattern. Jerome is listed as having been a Director of six other UK companies in his time. These are:

  • YellowTrack Ltd: Jerome started work with them in Feb 2006 and the company was dissolved in Sept 2010 for not having filed any Company Accounts since 2004 and not done any Annual Returns since 2007
  • Test Publishing Ltd: The company was dissolved in 2010 and the last Accounts and Returns were filed in 2008. Jerome was a Director from Sept 2008 until its dissolution in 2010
  • Leander Fz Facilities Ltd (previously Evineage Ltd): This was a company funded in the “Wholesale Alcohol/Drinks sector” in 2009 which Jerome became a Director for in August 2010 before it was dissolved in Dec 2010. And yes, you’ve guessed it, after 2009 they never filed any Returns or Accounts at Companies House
  • Sogeti UK Ltd: A “Hardware Consultancy” that Jerome became a Director for in 2005 and held this position until 2008. The company is still trading and has made all returns to date to Companies House

So the situation that saw Jerome as a Director of GPXS not filing any Returns or accounts to Companies House as required under UK Companies’ Law has happened in more than just the case of GPXS Holding Ltd. I find this a concerning trend.
