Original Times article exposing Asif Hamid as a criminal: https://wirralinittogether.blog/2026/04/26/a-screenshot-of-the-sunday-times-asif-hamid-criminal-article-saved-here-in-the-event-it-ever-gets-deleted/
Here’s the answer:
The call centre proposal for Asif Hamid’s Contact Company at Liverpool’s Kings Dock has been scrapped.
Development Sites Sold: In March 2022, Liverpool City Council put the undeveloped plots at Kings Dock up for sale, effectively ending the plans for the 45,000 sq ft office building.
Conflict and Backlash: The original plan, announced in 2017, faced significant anger from developers and the public because it allocated prime waterfront land to a business owned by the Liverpool LEP chairman, despite the site’s masterplan prioritizing tourism uses like an Olympic-standard ice rink.
Current Status: The sale of the land marks the “final death knell” for the call centre scheme, with the council now seeking experienced developers for a mixed-use landmark scheme instead.
