Mr Yaqub’s disqualification came into effect on 14 December.
Four other directors of Maple Grow Limited have already offered disqualification undertakings totalling 32 years to the Secretary of State.
Commenting on the disqualifications, Claire Entwistle, Director of Company Investigations North said:
“The order given by Birmingham County Court in respect of Mahmood Anwar Yaqub sends a clear message to other company directors; if you run a business in a way that is detrimental to either its customers or its creditors you will be investigated by the Insolvency Service and removed from the business environment.”
