David Stanley Redfern review: Unpaid wages

I was employed by David Stanley Redfern LTD also known as DSR ASSET MANAGEMENT. My role was to help people invest their money in property overseas. Once a client had decided to purchase a property or a plot of land they would send a cheque to the head office where, we were told, it was put into a client account for a seven day cooling down period, and then the money would be transferred to the developer.

We (the staff) started to receive calls from clients and developers asking where the money was and why it had not reached them. Some clients had placed 40, 000 GBP as a deposit and it had never reached the developer. I started to ask questions about the funds on behalf of my clients, when I was sacked (along with 4 other people).

I was owed just under 4, 000 in wages; I received a cheque for 900 GBP which was returned unpaid. Mr. Redfern refused to speak with any of us regarding our unpaid wages. I was left with no other option then to go to the employment tribunal, along with several other members of ex -staff.

We all won our case and received a 30% increment on the monies owed. We are now in the process of taking out a winding up order against David Stanley Redfern LTD. If we are successful David and Anne redfern will be barred from being directors, which will affect the five other companies that they are directors of.
