Our Family Re-Crest Nicholson Plc

(Crest Nicholson Marinas Limited)

Our Houseboat Eviction Penarth Marina October 28th 2003




Dear Mr. Matthews,


As a whole and united Family, we again wish to register our total grievance against your organisation, Crest Nicholson Plc, and we kindly refer you to the record.



You will undoubtedly recall our earlier enquiries and our extensive petitions for help, directed towards you, your fellow directors, and more generally - Crest Nicholson shareholders and the like. We certainly believe that Crest Nicholson Plc has seriously wronged our Family and that consequently we have all lost so much.



However, we also fully acknowledge that the wrong done to our Family and our Home and our personal private possessions, was vigorously executed whilst Crest Nicholson was operating under the full Leadership and Chief Executive Office of Mr. John Callcutt CBE. We also acknowledge that Mr. Callcutt has gone on to a better life- career, whilst we have had to come to terms with the legacy of his decisions. The impact on our lives cannot be understated.



We believe, as documented to the record, that John Callcutt CBE acted immorally whilst leading Crest Nicholson Plc. We also believe that in doing so, he may have deliberately misled you, your fellow directors and the Crest Nicholson organisation. We believe that he directed the company to perform what we consider to be an unacceptable and immoral act of violence against our Home, our Family and our way of life. There was a simple way that this matter could have been resolved, without John Callcutt’s dramatic approach and direction.


We reiterate that we are aware that Mr. Callcutt has moved on, that Crest’s subsidiary company, Crest Nicholson Marinas Limited has been sold off and that key management positions within the Crest Group have changed. Nevertheless, we know that you have remained Chair of the company and constantly informed throughout. God knows we have tried to inform you about everything and the way in which everything happened.


In any event, we believe that Crest Nicholson Plc have a moral duty to examine the record and put right what has been done wrong to our Family.


Whatever you may have been informed by past employees of the Crest Group, we are still just an ordinary Family who would dearly like to get on with our lives, minding our own business, just like any other ordinary Family. In the present circumstances, with such an injustice present and clear for all to see, we are not enabled to get on with our lives.


We again kindly ask you and Crest Plc to reconsider the record of events, which led to the eradication, and total destruction of our safe and satisfactory Family Home of 14 years. We again ask you to investigate this matter based solely upon the record and merit.



We kindly ask that you and Crest Plc Directors end this nightmare experience for our Family. Please help us. Please do the right thing.




We look forward to hearing from you.

Yours sincerely,




Vincent Shalom
Marie Louise Shalom


With our daughters:



Hannah 15, Naomi 13, Rachel 9, Rebekah 7, and Jessica 6

Formerly of the Houseboat M V Picton Penarth Marina Wales
(A perfectly safe and satisfactory Houseboat Home of 14 years.)

Letter Ends:



Notes:

John Callcutt CBE now leads English Partnerships, the National Regeneration Agency.

John Matthews is also Chairman of Regus Group Plc and a Director with Rotork Plc, SDL Plc and Diploma Plc.

His appointment as Chairman of Crest Nicholson Plc in 1996 came one year before the Crest Nicholson organisation invited the Shaloms to set up Home, in their own Houseboat property at Penarth Marina, in the Vale of Glamorgan, Wales.
