The organiser is Billy Coull, and look: he’s sorry

The organiser of the Wonka fiasco was Billy Coull, and according to Companies House he is the director of the entire House of Illuminati Ltd company.

He’s grovelled over how the Wonka experience has gone down, speaking to STV news: “I’m really shocked that the event had fallen short of the expectations of people on paper. My vision of the artistic rendition of a well known book didn’t come to fruition. For that I am absolutely truly and utterly sorry.

“There was every intention to hold the event, from the pictures, despite not being in the best light hopefully you’ll be able to see that there was every intention to hold the event. Unfortunately there was unforeseen circumstances and the event didn’t come to light.

“These issues were technological in nature. We had ordered a holographic paper that didn’t arrive on time. The holographic technology in itself is absolutely fabulous technology and unfortunately there was a delay in postage.”
