Cllr Richard Clifton, Conservative Rutland County Councillor, Shaw Trust, The Work Programme. Clifton Tea Room

Cllr Richard Clifton, Conservative Rutland County Councillor, Shaw Trust, The Work Programme.



Cllr Clifton's Linkedin Profile is a little incomplete


CDG merged with Shaw Trust  ran Work Programme schemes in the London boroughs of Hackney, Stratford and Tower Hamlets. It said the number of referrals to Barking and Dagenham in the first part of the financial year 2012/13 were "a third lower than expected and unlikely to increase", although it also declined to give any numbers.

"This will be a seamless change for Work Programme customers, employers and local stakeholders, and they will enjoy the same excellent service, support and partnership working from CDG as they did from Tomorrow’s People," said Richard Clifton, business development director at CDG.

Tomorrows People was directly linked to the Jubilee Stewards scandal so it would appear
Cllr Clifton may have a poor understanding of what excellent service is.

Cllr Clifton has spent his entire career in the employment services sector

In the past he worked for:

Sencia Limited Provider in the London area rated quite low by Ofsted

3 adequate

Low rate of progression into jobs by participants
Insufficiently thorough target-setting with participants

A Derbyshire Company and Leicestershire New Deal Provider
this organisation was a little better

Dear Martin

I'm writing to you about your blogspot page and requesting whether you can make a minor change to the content regarding my company, W2W Solutions.

I periodically search for my company online to see what google results come up to try and keep my business details as "clean" as possible.  Your page (below) came up on this search.

http://martinbrookes.blogspot.co.uk/2014/10/cllr-richard-clifton-conservative_17.html

While Richard worked with me for 2 years he left the business in 2009 - I'm pleased to say that since then I've run the business single-handedly from Norfolk and have done so very successfully.  The blog entry suggests that this was Richard's firm and is no longer running, which isn't the case. 

Having rented a room in Oakham for admin/post and paid business rates, it wasn't at Mrs Clifton's home. Also any reference to 'Conservative' that closely to my business name is deeply disturbing - a subject Richard and I would never agree on even if hell froze over.

Is it possible to make a change to your blog to reflect that the business (a quality/business improvement service) is still running successfully and remove the details of the firm being registered at Mrs's Clifton's home? I fully appreciate this request is unlikely to be a priority and you may be unable to change the entry retrospectively, but I thought it was worth a quick email so that I can preserve my business reputation as far as possible!

Many thanks in advance for your time.  

Best wishes.
