Avro Energy sent money to firms run by owners

The young boss of a collapsed energy company that has left more than 580,000 families fearing higher bills this winter is at the heart of a web of firms that appear to have led to his family earning millions of pounds.

Jake Brown, a 27-year-old former non-league footballer, founded Avro Energy in 2014 while studying law at Birmingham University. The collapse of Avro’s consumer division on Wednesday was the biggest failure of a household supplier. Experts predict that customers could face up to £400 a year more on their bills.
