United KingdomDavid Spencer-Percival, a former recruitment tycoon who sold his possessions including a collection of classic cars to fund his business ventures, is now facing a High Court battle against bankruptcy. Spencer-Percival founded the recruitment firm Huntress, which grew to a £100 million-a-year business before being sold. He later used proceeds from selling his assets to launch Spencer Ogden, which became successful before being sold in 2020. His latest venture, Life Science People, was compulsorily wound up after HMRC petitioned the courts over unpaid debts. Less than three weeks later, Alexandra Vintila, a former recruitment consultant, filed a bankruptcy petition against him. The case was initially heard in the High Court but was transferred to Central London County Court. Spencer-Percival, who represents himself, has appealed the decision, and the Chancery appeal remains ongoing. In a 2014 Forbes interview, he mentioned his extensive car collection, including a vintage Ferrari, Bentley, and Aston Martins.
