  • Mark Hollinsworth, second hand printer.

    Posted by Darren Mallaghan on 5 April 2015 at 01:49

    Hi all, it is not by choice but thought it was worth you u all knowing..:. A sales man who has been in the trade for over 10 years…. Mark Hollinswort sold me a second hand xc540 that was a piece of ****…. Mark posted me a test print that was perfectly, but when the printer arrived it was not firing on two head and had a very bad black head that was not even for that machine…. I had to put 3 new heads in the printer costing me over £2k!!! Mark agreed that the printer was faulty and agreed today pay me £1200 in compensation as he made over £2k in the sale…. Long story short…. Mark has disappeared and will not stand over his agreement with me….. I will never buy anything from Mark Hollinsworth again and advise you to do the same…. Shame on you Mark…

    If this is the same Mark I’m thinking about then he has worked for some big industry players….CWE, isub…etc…

    If I was him I would be trying to get this sorted with you as these boards rank so highly in the search engines that I wouldn’t be surprised in a few months time anyone searching for his name in google will probably see this post before any other information about him…

    Thanks for posting, I think we should all take note of this name and avoid unless he does the right thing.

    Just to confirm that my profile has been updated. I was unaware that this needed to be done. this is a genuine situation. I have a report from a Roland engineer backing up all my claims.

    Thank you for the reply Cheryl.

    Do you mind me asking did he sell you bad second hand equipment also?

    Same goes for selling your machines with him, I’ve had the same problem 🙁

    Shame as I’d known him for a very very long time, hence why I gave him the machines to sell for me (3 plotters and a Gerber Edge, all in perfect working condition)

    These days you just can’t trust anyone.

    Good morning all,
    Just thought I’d make you all aware, that Mark Hollinsworth hasn’t worked for NE Plastics since September 2014.

    wasn’t there long then. The grief I had getting money back from the guy, then he asked if I wanted to give him money to invest in another ‘deal’ 😮
    a right charmer, ….I wouldn’t no way do business with him again…its a shame.

    This is such a shame to see. I have worked with Mark a few times over the years and he is such a nice guy. I know he had some personal commitments to deal with recently so hopefully he will be back on track soon. I too have tried to contact him recently but have had no joy.

    Best of luck to everyone…

    I agree. He did sort out things for me eventually, I feel sad for him and hope things get better.
