This mob has a history of opening and closing businesses dating back to 2006.
My wife and I were unfortunate to be duped by the crooked charms of the infamous Manj Sanghera, when we were looking to buy a bi-fold door for our new extension. He is a very charming and assertive man who made us feel very comfortable with purchasing our doors from him. Once we had paid the £1980 deposit which he seemed extremely desperate to have paid all the charms and promises of a 4 week turn around soon vanished. I actually paid £400 pounds extra to have the door manufactured and fitted within 4 weeks.
However, upon payment of the deposit I was left with making phone calls every day to have a surveyor come out and measure up but no surveyor every turned up and our calls to Manj Sanghera went unanswered. When once he answered his phone all I can describe as a young boy answered the phone and asked us to call the production manager Imran.
After my first conversation with this Imran who I can only describe as being extremely rude and very badly spoken (English it appears is not his first language), I was fearful that I may never see any doors and my deposit was probably gone for good. Almost each time I spoke to Imran when I could eventually get through to him I was given lie after lie. However, when I pointed out to him that he was contradicting what he had told me previously he would then begin to get aggressive shouting in a high pitched tone.
We couldn't believe this had happened to us so I took it upon myself to do further checks and I came across these reviews on trust pilot, to which I also added my issues/concerns however the comments have all been removed.

I have also come across these online:

http://www.trustpilot.co.uk/review/mwgaas.co.uk
Now the new website:
http://bespokebifolddoorsystems.co.uk/
Before the comments were removed from Trust Pilot I contacted one of these customers and he/she told me that Manj had called all the customers and said Phil has run off with all the deposits that were paid. Manj said the doors were made but if they wanted them then we would need to pay MWG AAS the fabrication costs to have the doors delivered and fitted.
Later that evening this same customer received an email from Phil, saying not to pay Manj any monies. He explained what he had done and that he was no longer a part of the company. In support of this Scheuco, a multi-million pound company have confirmed that Phil is an innocent party and when the customer went back to Manj to let him know his games weren't going to work he stopped answering the phone.
Sadly stealing and defrauding innocent people is nothing new to Manj Sanghera, this man has a proven track record for fraud and theft and has served time in prison for this. Please view the links below to his criminal past.
In 2003 he was imprisoned for fraud:

Again he was sent to prison for fraud:

Now I am no legal expert but I'm sure someone with a criminal record is not able to hold the post of a company director or obtain banking facilities when that person in the past has been convicted of credit card fraud. Would be great if someone could clarify this point.
I urge anyone who has any other information on him to come forward, we need to see him and his team of crooks put away.
I found a review where they applied for liquidation before his mum passed away. Any Trading after that were illegal.
Again we require this info to prove they have been trading whilst insolvent. I have tried to contact the lady who posted this review.
I also urge any historic customers to come forward from December 2011, and January, February 2012 when he last declared his companies bankrupt.
If you have any information please post it on to the Blog and let’s expose this low heinous thieving low life criminal.
