Beware Ben Drewitt: Employee stole our kit.

[pants0512]

Hi All,

Bit of a heads up for those employing. We recently had a new chap come to us with view to joining the apprenticeship. He was employed for about 6 weeks all in. During which time we kitted him out with usual PPE including boots, kevs and hi viz t's. He was sporadic in his attendance to work. Siting family issues. Which we were accepting of and made allowances for with a view to a long term employment. My staff repoerted him to be a hard worker and "switched on" operative. Cut to the chase.....One day he reports to have moved to Cardiff to look after his sick father. Taking our PPE with him. At least £500 worth. He now ignores email and other contact attempts. He did suggest his new employer may buy the kit from us so is clearly using it for another employer. Grr!! He also owes one of my staff £50 and another 2 guys at our yard other money borrowed. We have made a police report. Beware this Guy!!
