A gambling addict pretended to be his ex-colleague to earn thousands signing off fraudulent building cladding forms.
Thomas Clarke tried to certify dozens of EWS1 forms meant to show lenders that the cladding on high rise buildings met appropriate standards.
The forms were part of measures brought in to strengthen building regulations after the Grenfell Tower fire but he used them to make money for himself in a desperate bid to pay off gambling debts.
