Home Builders Federation Condone and Tolerate Members Who Bully?

Shalom Family Campaign for Social Justice | 01.05.2010 23:52 | Education | Social Struggles | World

Bullying is wrong. Everyone knows it. It’s been just over one year since the Shalom Family Campaign for Social Justice approached the Royal Society of Arts AND The Home Builders Federation (HBF) asking for help. That effort seems to have been met in wilful ignorance and with contempt. So, another Family appeal was made at the HBF AGM and Open Council Meeting in London last Wednesday.

28th April 2010 - 10.30am. The Home Builders Federation stage their AGM and Open Council Meeting at the Churchill Hyatt Regency Hotel London. Having previously been ignored by The Royal Society of Arts ("educating children"..., "especially girls"..."building towards a brighter future") and The Home Builders Federation, at their HBF AGM last year, (see website http://www.mvpicton.co.uk) members of the Shalom Family return with a fresh appeal. Vince Shalom and daughters return again, to ask for HBF help, with HBF member, Crest Nicholson, who has established a documented history of heavy handedness and bullying.

Dear Mr. Stewart Baseley,


(Mr. David Pretty, Mr. Philip Davies, Mr. Mike Freshney, Mr. Malcom Harris, Mr. Mike Gaskell, Mr. Morris Homes, Mr. Andy Yallop, and Mr. Neil Fitzsimmons,)


Home Builders Federation Member The Crest Nicholson Group


With reference to the above, please help our Family. Please do not ignore our Family appeal.


Simply put, we kindly suggest that The Crest Nicholson Group, one of the Home Builders Federation members, is a corporate bully, presently lacking in terms of ‘Corporate Social Responsibility’.


With malice and forethought this company, led by Mr. John Callcutt CBE, (Chief Executive Officer at the time) callously orchestrated and brought about, the total destruction of our Home of 14 years, which also lead to the whole loss of our entire personal Family possessions.


We kindly invite you to see the fuller details of our morally, ‘just cause’, at our Family run website at  http://www.mvpicton.co.uk


Essentially, if John Callcutt and Crest Nicholson had allowed our requests, for us to be able to fix our own home, at our expense, even though this was after – Crest Nicholson had caused a night time grounding accident to it, then none of this needed to have happened. As things stand, it is a total shame to John Callcutt CBE and your Home Builders Federation Member, Crest Nicholson.


We again kindly invite you to consider the total losses that our Family has suffered. The loss of a perfectly decent, safe and satisfactory Family Home of 14 years, the loss of our entire Family possessions and the decimation of a perfectly sustainable way of life.


You are kindly invited to ask us any questions you feel appropriate. Furthermore, you are invited to see our full file records of the accounts with this company. We would ask that you kindly petition your member, the Crest Nicholson Group, to reconsider their position in this matter.


We kindly reiterate that whilst we accept that you may not be entirely responsible for the conduct of your members, we do believe that you would want to be seen to ‘keep them in line’, with the very high standards to which your organisation would seek to obtain, and proclaim.

Thank you for your time in reading this appeal.


We look forward to hearing from you.



Yours sincerely,



Marie Louise and Vince Shalom
With our Daughters Hannah, Naomi, Rachel, Rebekah and Jessica

Hand Delivered by members of the Shalom Family to the above address and again presented to the Home Builders Federation at the HBF AGM & Annual Industry Lunch, Wednesday 28th April 2010, at the Hyatt Regency Hotel, London. Due to teaching and educational commitments, both Marie Louise and Hannah Louise, regrettably, were unable to attend this event.
