Jeff you are on the right tracks his name is simon C****** He is a member but I just checked his profile and he hasn't posted on here since december
Right this is how the guy in question works he owns the rounds and gets w/cs to do the work on a self employed basis. He will target beginers where possible. He maintains the rounds on a george type program and retains ownership of the work .I met him when he first moved to the area (tewkesbury) and Duke was the first person he took on in this manner I was the second. Later people were tied in by a contract which said you would pass all work to him you picked up for a 1 off payment from him. I told him no way any customers I got were mine but duke didnt. The other part of his business was a sort of hire side where he would assist the new guys by getting the kit for them and also provide them with pure water for a weekly charge. Me and him fell out when he started to mess me about and because he had decided that he would go and give 50% of my work to this new guy. The first I knew about it was when I got a revised list off him with the work gone. That was it I was off. Just before christmas I was helping another ex window cleaner of his who had fell out with him because he had offered to arrange his public liability for him. They paid their premium to him and all was fine until they asked for a copy of their certificate. He refused to show it them (it didn't exist) took all their work off them (a husband and wife team) and stopped providing the water for them. He stitched them up big time all over a certificate he couldn't produce. I helped them by giving them some customers and letting them use my ro system for their water needs untilk they got their own and were back on their feet. They have manged to get back about 20% of the customers he had provided to them but thats still 80% of their work gone. Another Trick of the guy is to put cleans he has done himself onto other lists so he can avoid the tax. The whole reason he uses self employed is because he can avoid being vat registered. So I guess prehaps someone should give the taxman a tinkle about this conman!

He's a scumbag who should be named & shamed in my opinion.
