I am not a client of this firm but I have been the subject of their attention. My Company is in dispute with one of their clients who is a Recruitment Agency in the catering industry. I believe their client misled me when I engaged their temporary staff. This did cause us severe issues and me significant personal anxiety. I published a Google review about their client sharing my experience and concerns. There is a genuine public health and safety interest with my experience and what I published was true. In my post I explained that due to my mental health issues of being Bi-polar and currently chronically depressed, due to their client's behaviour, I actually considered suicide. Lester Aldridge responded by saying that my posting was childish and issued threats. They should realise the consequences of making such statements in response to someone with a declared mental health disability. I hope that they contemplate training and counselling to reassess how they respond in future. I have passed my concerns onto the SRA and, at their suggestion, to the Mental Heath Charity Mind.
