I had a deeply concerning experience…

I had a deeply concerning experience working with Nick Johnstone the owner of (Forelock and Load) on a barn conversion project for his mother. Throughout the project, I found him to be unreliable and difficult to deal with. There were multiple challenges, including safety concerns due to CDM compliance issues. Additionally, an incident occurred on-site during working hours involving the sale of an item to one of our staff members, which raised serious concerns.

Beyond the project, I also experienced behavior that felt intimidating, making me and my team uncomfortable. Based on my experience, I would strongly advise others to be cautious when dealing with this individual.
