Giles was Tony Gordon's accountant who met up with his client at Underworld in November 2008 when Tony's cashflow had reached crisis point. Looking through the books, Giles discovered that Tony was up to his neck in debt. Worried that his client would soon exceed his overdraft limit, Tony suggested organising some sort of refinancing deal. However, his desperate situation looked to improve as Giles had arranged to meet a prospective buyer later in the day who was looking to purchase four properties at Victoria Court, a project in which Tony was a major investor.
