Reputable Property Company Attacked Online By Convicted Fraudster
My business, Parkcrest Construction is a well established property developer in the New Forest Area. It has thrived on the basis of an excellent reputation.
I discovered that a website titled ‘Parkcrest Construction Information’ had been created with the sole intention of besmirching the reputation of my name and that of Parkcrest. It used a domain name that insinuated it was connected to the long established, very reputable estate agents, Murray and Hayward.
Astonishingly, it transpired that the registrant of this site was one Hamish Robertson – the son of a convicted criminal, Paul Robertson, who disgracefully used his position as a GP to swindle a disabled pensioner out of his life savings. Jailed as a result he was unsurprisingly also struck off by the General Medical Council.

It appeared to be an attempt to malign the reputation of myself, Parkcrest Construction and Murray and Hayward. It disingenuously stops short of libel, but the intentions are clear.
His wife Ann appears to have authored the site, which is irony in itself, since she too later became embroiled in controversy when it transpired that she had set up a counselling service – and used previous patient records to write offering their services. The BBC reported on this at the time under the title:
Disgraced GP sets up counselling service
Hamish Robertson, the son describes himself on his twitter site as: an 18 year old A Level student, medical school reject, waiter – he doesn’t mention though his murky family history or his penchant for setting up malicious websites.
Annoyingly, it has proven very difficult to get the offending site removed – but at least people can judge for themselves the difference between reputable people and businesses and this family with questionable moral issues.
