But he hadn't met the other person had he? So I'm not so sure it's a done deal.Originally posted by jbond007 View PostWhat about this thread though ? One of the forum members has met Darren Roberts and it was deemed they are two different people

hmm...google search will give you Darren Upton's picture.Originally posted by Invisiblehand View PostBut he hadn't met the other person had he? So I'm not so sure it's a done deal.Comment

I know this is an extremely long shot but theoretically Darren Upton could have changed his name to Darren Roberts and then asked a colleague to pretend to be him if clients come calling/public situations.Originally posted by jbond007 View Posthmm...google search will give you Darren Upton's picture.
Like I say, an incredible long shot.
I believe the best evidence was from NLUK, in that Darren Upton should have been in prison (assuming no early release) while Darren Roberts was winning Contractor UK awards year in and year out.
To be honest, if I were Darren Roberts I would simply do a blog post on his company website, complete with picture, clearing up the misunderstanding

Very true about the awards. I’m back from holiday next week and sending across to Admin copies of my photo ID when get back. As for reasons leaving Dynamo as previously posted, I’ve known the tax partner in the main practice for over 25 years having trained together so the guys there have know me for many years. Left because of the level of partnership offer received from them and differences in vision, plus the Bartfields opportunity being too good to turn down in light of the above offer.Originally posted by JB3000 View PostI believe the best evidence was from NLUK, in that Darren Upton should have been in prison (assuming no early release) while Darren Roberts was winning Contractor UK awards year in and year out.

Could you also send copies of your last 50 yeara bank statements just to make sure it's not a 'holiday' at Her Majesties pleasure.Originally posted by Darren at Fox-Bartfield View PostVery true about the awards.
