I think you have answered your own question.

I don't think it necessarily does

Can’t be too hard to track him down though…

Well it could be that Stubbs and others were conned as part of a scam. It could be that he genuinely intended to put on this dinner.

I feel that the charity might have done more due diligence on this guy before allowing their name to be used, although it’s not always easy.

Not that it makes much odds to the charities or those who have lost their cash but I'd be inclined to believe that he had genuine intentions of holding the event and subsequently made an arse of it rather than setting out to con anyone.

Hope so. The problem is, any idiot can claim they have a great idea for a fundraising event. It takes a bit more skill to do it successfully though.

Hand the money back then and engage with people. Don’t disappear. Looks like the companies that he is linked to aren’t submitting their filings etc either.

Then ran off with all the money? 🤷*♂️

You clearly don’t know the guy at all do you.

**CMurdoch** · 04-08-2021 11:32 PM

The charity and the speakers should have put in a little leg work before getting involved with this guy.
15 minutes online would have done the trick.
Well documented Walter Mitty ducker, diver get rich quick scheme guy.
Everything he touches eventually turns to ****.
Hairdressers, shops selling sports memorabilia and now arranger of charity events.
The title businessman covers a multitude of sins.
File this one under chancer.

I have just been made aware of this taken from the Capital Events social media page

Statement on behalf of Sandra and Alex Hurry on behalf of Capital Events Management Ltd.

SETTING THE RECORD STRAIGHT

Regarding the FALSE DAILY RECORD REPORT, picked up by Edinburgh News and Edinburgh Live, legal action is being considered as Alex certainly DID NOT RUN AWAY WITH 50K!

The article has mislead people.

Alex was working away from premises at Slateford Road picture framing in 2020 and his mother Sandra, following her retirement from nursing, agreed to help her son Alex by setting up a Limited Company so they could organise events.

Capital Events agreed to host an event to honour Alan Stubbs as Scottish Cup winning manager from 2016. Alex agreed to help promote, but not host the event.

The Steps to Hope charity were identified as a worthwhile charity to benefit from any fundraising on the night as Alex had battled addiction from the age of 14 and experienced homelessness in July of 2018. Steps to Hope Founder Richie Roncero spoke to Alan Stubbs and they were going to receive a donation from the sale of Alan Stubbs medal through a live auction.

The date was set for 5 April 2020. Covid 19 restrictions from March 2020 meant the event had to be cancelled or postponed. The event venue was The Prestonfield House Hotel who were saying that if Capital Events cancelled the event the £2500 deposit would have been lost. So following a discussion with Alan Stubbs the date was postponed by 3 months until 5 July 2020. But with pandemic restrictions continuing it was agreed to hold the event at a later date when things returned to normal.

Alex has since left Edinburgh to work down South and has been living in the Scottish Borders following homelessness. Like most people during lockdown, Alex suffered and battled severe depression through isolation. He fully accepts he should have contacted all tickets holders and the Event sponsor JB Contracts but had agreed with Alan Stubbs to wait until the Covid 19 restrictions were fully lifted.

As company Director, Sandra was due file accounts for the business but with no trade for over 12 months, and following a discussion with her accountant, it was decided in June to close the business down. Alex was unaware of this due to a relationship fallout with Sandra but he had never officially cancelled the event.

Alex contacted Alan Stubbs yesterday and he insisted he wanted to attend and be part of the event and was showing his faith and belief in Alex, unlike it seems many others who feel let down, understandably. Alan Stubbs had seen the slanderous article printed on the front page by the Daily Record but stated he has been on the wrong side of the press himself and advised Alex to set the record straight and seek legal advice.

As it stands, an event with Alan Stubbs will go ahead. It will NOT however be hosted or promoted by Alex Hurry as he is devastated by the false accusations and slanderous comments witnessed by his friends and family on social media.

ANYONE LOOKING FOR A REFUND, WHO DOES NOT WISH TO ATTEND THE NEW DATE, TO BE CONFIRMED AND ANNOUNCED BY ALAN STUBBS HIMSELF BEFORE THE END OF AUGUST CAN CONTACT CAPITAL EVENTS BY EMAIL -> capitalevents147@mail.com

Emails will be sent to all ticket holders with there options to attend the new date, or can claim there refund which will be given.

The people who purchased tickets through Capital Events were as follows:-

A TOTAL OF 65 TICKETS WERE SOLD!!! NOT OVER 500 TICKETS AS FALSELY REPORTED. THE VENUE ONLY HOLDS 200, AND ONLY 200 TICKETS WERE PRINTED BY EDINBURGH FIRM DORICMOR, 50 x VIP, 75 Gold and 75 Silver.

Alex apologies sincerely for a lack of contact and communication

once again,

Don't see the need for them to post the names of everyone (which I've not included) who's bought a ticket. GDPR and all that.

good point, I've now edited my post on here to remove them but the original release from Capital still holds them

**hibbysam** · 06-08-2021 07:26 PM

Ran away with a load of folks dough and went on the defensive since he’s been caught out. The old ‘it wisnae me it was her’ argument.

***Newhaven*** · 06-08-2021 07:29 PM

Guy has more excuses than a pregnant nun and left loads of folk in the dark.

If I had a ticket I would be demanding a refund ASAP.

No the first time.....

***Itsnoteasy*** · 09-08-2021 10:00 PM

I have said numerous times on .net.

Mr Hurry sold memorabilia & also done shirt framing. Shops in Gorgie, Bonnington, Ocean Terminal, The Gyle & laterally Slateford. Apart from the last one he basically done a moonlight flit from them, bumping all the landlords for rent.

Thought he was something he was never going to be.

Wouldn't trust him wi ma last £5.

Yes he was.

“Steps to Hope Founder Richie Roncero spoke to Alan Stubbs and they were going to receive a donation from the sale of Alan Stubbs medal through a live auction.”

Is that the medal that was auctioned off for charity and bought by the club in 2017?

Makes you wonder if anybody actually has spoken to Alan Stubbs and even if the charity involved know what’s going on.

The state of that statement though. Asking whoever went to the Daily Record to come forward. 😂
