can i pursue a director for money

[bmj]

i did work for a limited company and they are going bust but, the parent company that the director ownes is still going strong. can i get money from the other company.

No - hence the words "limited" - the director's have a limited liability - limited to the share capital.

Unless of course you took out a personal guarantee or a cross company guarantee.

I am afraid you need to contact the receivers and lodge your claim with all the other companies - the only good thing is that the crown (ie inland Revenue) are no longre classed as preferred creditors and have the same rights as you do.
