A 'cowboy' builder has 'lost everything' after his customers shared bad experiences of his service on social media and said they had lost thousands of pounds. Over the last few months, homeowners have taken to Facebook to reveal the identity of the Lancashire builder who they say has left them in the lurch when it comes to their household renovations.
Three customers told LancsLive they have been on the receiving end of "lie after lie" from builder Michael Brennan. But he says the 'unfair' comments have forced him to close his business Ruby Constructions and Renovations Ltd based in Bamber Bridge.
Mr Brennan claims comments about his company posted in a Facebook group after a few unfortunate experiences have 'blown everything out of proportion'. One customer, Brendan Conlin, 56, from Lostock Hall, planned for an extension at the side of his home and says he agreed to pay £12,400 with Mr Brennan's company.
