Mrs Margaret Hodge Department of Trade and Industry (National) 7th Floor
Dear Mrs Hodge,
I sincerely hope you will be kind and patient enough to read and understand the contents of this email.
I have received your response from Martyn Wyn-Griffiths
I am not surprised at the contents of the letter
I have met Mr Wyn-Griffiths about (4) years ago and subsequently ;
Submitted to him documentary evidence including (11) witness statements - (3 attached) that substantiated my claim that my business had been stolen by Government Agencies or employees of government agencies to whom I had approached for help.
It is worth mentioning here that - because I did not have funds to employ a solicitor - I tried to take the matter through the legal process on my own - my efforts were defeated -
(Because my submissions were not correctly presented to the court - your predecessor in his attempt to conclude the winding up of the Training and Enterprise Councils - (applied successfully to the court to make me bankrupt - this was subsequently overturned - as an inappropriate action to take against me)
Not mentioned in the reply from Martyn Wyn-Griffiths is the fact that;
1) I contacted the OGC, about 2002 and as a result was invited to a meeting in London, I requested permission to take my colleague and associate Debasish Sen to this meeting
3) As a result of discussions with OGC - I sent to OGC, a copy of my training programme On CD-ROM
4) OGC - Informed me that - Ian Williams was the person at SBS - who was developing a procurement policy and I should deal with him - they also sent the CD-ROM to Ian Williams
5) I successfully applied for an Innovation Grant in 2005 - Debasish Sen, as my associate acted as my consultant
noteworthy is the fact that Ian Williams tried to contact UFi and did not get a response for (9 months) - it was only after I put Ian Williams in contact with Pete Sutton of UfI - (who had also seen my programme that their co-operation became alive.)
11) My associate Debasish, who I have been very closely connected with since 1998, in his capacity as Deputy Chairman of the Federation of Small Business - in now sitting on the National Procurement Forum with Ian Williams - together with the Chairman of the Federation of Small Business - Kent and one other person from FSB Kent
12) None of these persons were involved in this area of work - before they had sight of my programme - through my associate Debasish Sen and Ian Williams
13) this has been done in absolute secrecy and without my knowledge - by Ian Williams while at the very same time on a monthly basis Ian Williams and myself had discussions relating to the fact that when his project was completed - he wished that I bid for the project
14) Having ripped my business - my associate does not speak to me any more -
In conclusion : with respect it will always be the case that the head of a department will defend his or her staff.
I have been involved in developing this project over a period of (10) years - I have borrowed money from friends and the bank to invested in the project, I have had minimal support from government agencies, my partner has invested a small fortune in the business,
It is shameful - that for the past (15) years - every project that I have developed has been stolen by a government agency or employers of government agencies
1) Dr Philip Blackburn - past Chief Executive West London TEC
2) Veejay Amin - Chief Executive of Changing Futures, Brent
3) Debasish Sen - Deputy Charirman FSB Kent
To name only (3) -
I am currently (66) years old and all I am trying to do is - not spend the rest of my life in abject poverty - yet all that I have has been stolen - I can't afford legal representation, I have no one to turn to - so all I have to look forward to is a very slow and extremely painful death - in poverty
All the statements that I have made can be substantiated and coroborated by witness statements one is attached)
My partner and myself would be very grateful to have a meeting with you personally so that we can outline our problem - this should not take more than half an hour - of your precious time.
We will also be extremely grateful if Mr Martyn Wyn-Griffiths had no further involvement in this matter
Very best regards, we look forward to hearing from you.
