Wellington investor faces bankruptcy bid

Shocked furniture suppliers bear the brunt of Eon receivership

A moneylender whose shareholders include Fay Richwhite will get its money back from the receivership of high-end Auckland homeware store Eon, but furnishing suppliers are not so lucky.

Staples Rodway was called in as receiver at 4pm on Tuesday, a year after Eon moved its Auckland store to the Britomart precinct.

NBR understands that moneylender Blackbird Finance is owed a sum of money but should be repaid from proceeds of a closing down sale now on at Eon.
