Former SPQR Owner Banned From Running Companies for 8.5 Years

Chris Rupe, the former owner of the Auckland restaurant SPQR, has been banned from managing companies for a period of eight-and-a-half years.

The prohibition prevents Rupe from running a company until 2034, according to reports from the NZ Herald and NBR.

The legal restriction follows the failure of SPQR, which was recognized as one of the most well-known restaurants in Auckland.

NBR reported that the ban was issued after Rupe’s management of the business was found to have been deficient.
