Antonios “Tony” Solomon obviously knows the Safened well. He was among the founding directors in Sept 2014, along with Rudolf Booker, and was recalled in February 2016. Tony Solomon lists the two companies Tonishirl LLP and Solomont Limited as experience on his LinkedIn profile. However, he goes by the name Antonios Solomon at the UK Companies House with these companies.
Solomon has a close relationship with Rudolf Booker and Payvision. He is also registered with this full name as a director of the Payvision spin-off Cetler BV, which took over ethically undesirable business areas from Payvision, such as porn, in 2020 following the takeover of Payvision by ING.
We wish Antonios Solomon a/k/a Tony Solomon, all the best for his new job at Rudolf Booker and friends.
