Threatening behaviour to other drivers whilst in a livered van is never a good look for a company. The passenger got out of the van twice to threaten a slower driver and the driver of a parked van after a short traffic delay. Plenty of good plasterers in town so give these a miss.

I had the company pick up truck try to run me off the road. A guy with a pointy looking female hanging out the window on a Saturday night. These aggressive tradesmen are certainly not the people Id have working for me.
