Subject: Complaint Regarding Staff Behavior - Urgent Attention Required Dear Admin, I am writing to formally lodge a complaint about the unacceptable behavior exhibited by two of your staff members, which occurred during a recent interaction with me and my family… On 24/08/2024.. I was involved in a situation with a male staff member, whom I believe is named Matt, and a female staff member with long red hair. This encounter left me feeling intimidated, bullied, and subjected to what I believe were racist remarks. Additionally, their actions caused my children to become extremely distressed to the point where they were crying and screaming. I had to seek refuge at a friend's house to calm them down, which was both unnecessary and deeply upsetting. Here is a summary of what occurred: 1….. Accusations and Aggressive Behaviour: The female staff member accused my husband of bumping into her colleague's car…. When I asked for evidence.. she changed her story and then abruptly left the scene when I started to question her… This was extremely unprofessional and confusing. 2. Racist and Offensive Language.. The male staff member, Matt, confronted me in an aggressive manner… He used foul language in front of my children, despite my request for him to refrain from swearing. He then made a remark that I found to be racist and deeply offensive, stating, "Oh, people like you..." When I asked for clarification, he laughed and continued to use derogatory language, calling me a "crazy woman." This behavior is not only unprofessional but also discriminatory. It is deeply concerning that your staff would treat a customer in this manner, especially in front of children. I believe it is crucial that Martin & Co. addresses this issue immediately to prevent such incidents from occurring in the future. I would appreciate a prompt investigation into this matter and a response detailing the actions that will be taken to address the behavior of these staff members. Thank you for your attention to this serious issue. Sincerely, Bebo

Bebo Thank you for your posting regarding this matter, which I have already looked into. I am sorry to hear of any upset you and your children may have experienced, however I do not believe that this is the right forum to address this dispute. The incident on Saturday was a personal matter, with an argument between private individuals over damage to a stationary, privately-owned car in an accident irrefutably caused by your husband, who was driving, but which you denied, causing inevitable frustration. You are not a client or customer, the male colleague you refer to was not on company business and the female colleague you mention was there only in the capacity of a witness, having actually seen the accident occur. We have endeavoured to foster good relations with our neighbours in South Croydon over the last 15 years and will continue to work to be a productive part of the community. Therefore, as a gesture of goodwill, we will pay to repair the damage to our colleague’s vehicle, in order to avoid the need for a claim against your insurance. Please contact me directly at the office if you would like to discuss this matter any further. Peter Brown Director
