A bogus gas fitter and the company he owns has been fined £24000 after carrying out illegal inspections on mobile catering units in the Suffolk area. Anthony George Hewitt, from Halesworth carried out gas safety record checks using the names of legitimate Gas Safe registered engineers.  Lowestoft Magistrates court heard that he signed off LPG installations as being safe, and in doing so misled his customers and compromised their safety.  Mr Hewitt and Hewitt Plumbing Solutions were both fined £12000 each , as well as costs.  The HSE said that "This was a shocking case. Mr Hewitt knowingly deceived his customers for financial gain, but he compromised their safety in doing so."
