New Zealand league legend Graham Lowe's former recruitment company has been put into liquidation owing Inland Revenue almost $1 million.
But the 10-staff business that Lowie Recruitment Ltd operated is still running and was sold to another firm before the insolvency, liquidators said yesterday.
Although the business - still trading as Lowie Recruitment - continues to use Lowe's nickname, the former Manly, Queensland and Kiwis coach is no longer involved in it, a staff member told the Weekend Herald.
The business is now run as a division of Pounamu International, a company co-directed by former New Zealand Rugby League chairman Andrew Chalmers.
Mr Chalmers directed the now-liquidated Lowie Recruitment alongside Mr Lowe, who resigned from its board in October last year about two months before liquidators were appointed.
