We should like to confirm that we have contacted you specifically because you or your organisation is a listed member of Scottish Financial Enterprise, registered at 24 Melville Street, Edinburgh, Scotland EH3 7NS.
Further to our previous invitations, we hope that you now understand that our Family, with five children, was evicted some four years ago on 28th October 2003, (with our own Houseboat Home of 14 years), from a Crest Nicholson development at Penarth Marina, just inside Cardiff Bay in Wales. Our Home, which was our property, was seized, taken to England and later destroyed. Our Family’s entire personal private possessions, which were also seized, have still not been returned to us. We believe the whole matter was heavy handed and unnecessary.
Please have a good look around this website. We have nothing to hide or be ashamed of. Please understand exactly what has happened to our Family, the way it happened and why. Please understand who did it. Please understand who was responsible. Even though it has been four years, we live with the consequences every day.
We believe that our Family Campaign for Social Justice is correctly founded upon right- principles, of decent, correct morality and ethics. We are also mindful of the issues raised in connection with Corporate Social Responsibility.
Our Family has respectfully made various enquiries to try to focus the minds of individuals and corporations involved or associated with this matter, including the Board of Directors at Scottish Financial Enterprise and in particular, Board Member, Mr. David Shearer of the Crest Nicholson Group. Numerous Family appeals were also submitted to Mr. Shearer in his capacity as director of HBOS plc, when that company was, in turn, listed as a major shareholder in Crest Nicholson Plc. For the benefit of doubt, we understand that Bank of Scotland, a subsidiary of the HBOS plc group, is now currently the co-owner of the Crest Nicholson Group, via the consortium investment-vehicle known as Castle Bidco. This entity is in itself, a subsidiary of West Coast Capital.
We fully accept that your organisation may not be involved in any way whatsoever with the events or what has happened to our Family. However, we believe that you would want to know of your associations with those who are.
We confirm that we are aware that Scottish Financial Enterprise held their FSE Annual Dinner (and The Innovators Awards Ceremony) at the Edinburgh International Conference Centre on 29th November 2007. Against this backdrop and our circumstances, and your organisations' known membership of Scottish Financial Enterprise, we respectfully invite you to, please help us, in our Family Campaign for Social Justice.
We would be very grateful if you would immediately bring this matter to the attention of the Board of Directors of Scottish Financial Enterprise, in particular, Mr. Shearer, Chairman of the Crest Nicholson Group. However, if you consider that an alternative method of approach is more suitable, we would be happy to hear from you directly.
We hope that you are not offended in our approach, but feel sure that in the circumstances you will understand.
Should you have any queries or concerns, please contact us.
Kind regards,
Yours sincerely,
Marie Louise and Vince Shalom
With our daughters, Hannah, Naomi, Rachel, Rebekah and Jessica
