Thunderbrook Feeds - your thoughts & experiences please

[IveRunOutOfNamesToThinkOf]

i followed this thread, kind of in two minds. I've never fed TF, mostly because it seems pricey and mine are fine on plain unbranded straights. Therefore I've never dealt with TF, and wondered if maybe the bloke was just one of those 'marmite' people who irritated some but was loved by others.

But this!!!! Why is he not locked up???? Let alone running a company [/Q

That was always my opinion too, I’d heard negatives before about the manners of this person, everyone can have a bad day or two. Happy horse happy life though!

This chilled me though, I know there is nothing proven but surely this should have been reported somewhere? If not for one bad experience i would have still been purchasing their feed

 

[I'm Dun]

wow! I thought nothing could surprise me about this company but I am absolutely stunned by that.

Well after doing some research on the company I came across this. I’m sorry, it’s not about feed, however it does hugely impact the ethos of the company and the said person in particular. You can find the original yourself by searching Thunderbrook Complaint on Facebook

Im relieved I no longer buy from them, I do not want to fund people like this

Wow.

 

[Ownedby4horses]

Good God, that communication trail is truly disturbing and totally inappropriate in every form. I cant see the Facebook page as not one Facebook.

can anyone screenshot and post?

 

[Ambers Echo]

That is just appalling. It's also interesting how toxic cultures in companies just carry on for decades affecting successive teams. Poor customer service, bullying, abusive practices tends to be cultural not worker- specific. I have friends who use Thunderbrooks on our yard so I read the thread out of curiosity in case there was an issue with the feed itself like that synthetic Vit E issue. I did not raise the customer service stuff with them because they were obviously ok with it. But I'll tell them about this. They will absolutely not want to be buying from a sexuslly exploitative ar$e like him. Urrghhh.

 

[TPO]

Jeezo!! Was not the update I was expecting on this thread.

I put him on my blocked list years ago because he was abusive, threatening and aggressive online towards others. Just had a check and he doesn't appear to have a profile anymore.

The job website is in the Philippines. I'm fairly confident that he wasn't looking for equine nutritionists from there. What a disgusting human and that explains why it wasnt taken further in the UK.

 

[brighteyes]

Wow! That's mad! Chuckled a bit at 'not in a pervy way'... Then returned to horrified about this guy - is the photo him?

 

[ycbm]

WTF?!?!?

Bad customer service is one thing, that's a whole new level. He deserves to lose his whole business.

[Scarlett]

Honestly, I'm not surprised in the slightest by the most recent information that has come out regarding the male employee. He gave off those vibes years ago.

Another man that's clearly gone unchecked over the years while bullying and degrading women, as many on here have experienced.

Appalling that he not exhibited this behaviour towards customers, but that he had the gall to use his influence as an employer to try and attract victims.

Awful.

I can’t seem to open this one. What is it?

Screenshots in post #179

The other people in partnership with him at TB must be aware of this and have made the decision to continue working with him. Great brand, owned and staffed by good people....oh no wait, what have the majority been saying for years about everyone there 🤔

 

[Fluffypiglet]

Blimey, that's appalling. I wasn't fussed about the customer service as I only buy the treat tubs but that is a whole different level of yuk that I do not want to support! 😡 Any recommendations for nice treats that aren't TB and don't have alfalfa in?! Jeez....

 

[cauda equina]

Simple System Haycare, yum yum!
They're not produced as treats but fit the bill very well

 

[ycbm]

It's the same as the screenshots.

 

[littleshetland]

WTF! I do occasionally buy TB products.......not any more.

 

[ycbm]

Carrots. Grass nuts. Celery (ask Red/Rigsby!).

 

[HBB]

WTAF!!? What a repulsive, revolting man he is, his behaviour is sickening!

Do you not think his silence on that FB post is deafening?

 

[Fluffypiglet]

Carrots. Grass nuts. Celery (ask Red/Rigsby!).

Not tried celery! He likes bananas and carrots obviously...

 

[Regandal]

Dear God, that is so gross 🤢

 

[cauda equina]

This 6 year old thread had died a natural death and then was resurrected twice by posters saying we're all mean and it's a great company
I bet they wish they hadn't bothered now

 

[IveRunOutOfNamesToThinkOf]

I’ve been waiting for one of those posters who defend the company to return and give their reasoning behind how this is also somehow ok….

 

[TGM]

Then returned to horrified about this guy - is the photo him?

It certainly looks very much like him!

 

[Frumpoon]

Let me get this straight...he's deliberately targeting Filipino women for nudes/s*x chat under the guise of offering them a job??

That is all kinds of exploitative, dishonest and wrong!!!

Given that most amateur horse owners in this country are women we should be able to put him out of business?

 

[ester]

I'm inclined to think that it's terrible enough to warrant it's own thread. Staggering.

ETA yes I was thinking that about the customer base too frumpoon.

I did wonder about starting a new thread, but as quite new to posting didn’t know where best to put it, or even if it would be allowed. I suppose it’s possible there are people who won’t read this given it’s a zombie thread resurrected on multiple occasions

If any one wants to start one to reach more members feel free to use the screenshots I put up, I didn’t know how to link to the actual page. I need to go to work now but it sickens me to think this exploitation happened over a year ago, and yet because it wasn’t in this country there’s been no action/responsibility taken or media of any kind to highlight this

I certainly would have stopped using them immediately if I’d been aware when this was first disclosed. To think I’ve been helping fund a person like this…

 

[Surbie]

Wow! Was not expecting that when I opened the thread. That is both very creepy and vile. I will not be buying anything from TB in the future.

 

[Gloi]

Thank you for the warning.

 

[Shilasdair]

That's hideously exploitative of women from underdeveloped countries - I hope Thunderbrooks go out of business - and that this man is investigated fully by the police.

Up thread some of you are saying that, as horse owners are mainly women, we should stop supporting this business. I believe that there are very few male horse owners who would support this creep either!

 

[MuddyMonster]

I'm so, so glad I stopped using them. I feel disgusted I unwittingly helped fund a sexual predator though

This is absolutely shocking. I really, really hope TB go out of business over this, at the very least.

I've got the popcorn ready 🍿🍿🍿🍿🍿
