Cloaca Maxima

Cloaca Maxima, based at Dean Trench Street in London is a secretive consultancy was incorporated by Dennis Stevenson in 1996 ^[1]

One of the directors of Cloaca Maxima is Heneage Stevenson, trustee of the arts organisation Second Movement and development manager at Bee Bee Developments ^[2], a company that was the largest landowner in mid-town London. On its website, Bee Bee Developments claims to have relationships with a number of private sector organisations, particularly banks, including Halifax Bank of Scotland ^[3]

What is in a name

Observation: Cloaca is a technical biological term for the "anus analog" in some primitive organisms (fishes, certain birds, and some mammalians); it also means: "A sewer or a privy". Given the nature of the name, one suspects that it was coined in jest, and thus indicates the nature of the organization.
