A “prolific rogue trader” who lured customers in with his “charm and charisma” has been found guilty of 37 counts of fraud.
Mark Killick, who also operated under the aliases Marc Cole and Mark Jenkins, failed to complete building work at properties across the West of England between December 2019 and November 2021.
The 56-year-old, of Shoe Lane in Paulton, Somerset, was found guilty of the 37 counts of fraud and cleared of one at Bristol Crown Court earlier following a three month trial. It is his fourth conviction for fraud since 2008.
The prosecution highlighted Killick’s spending on luxury goods, including a £25,000 Rolex watch which he claimed was an asset for the failing business.
