Property tycoon threatened to send his 'friends from Manchester' to 'thrash' award-winning landscape...

Mark Harrison, CEO of a £1.2million firm, hired expert Alasdair Cameron. The pair fell out over £650,000 landscaping works at a Surrey homeA multi-millionaire property tycoon has been accused of threatening to have an award-winning landscape gardener 'thrashed' in front of his 'fragrant wife'.

The businessman says he has missed out on a major deal due to the exchanges being shared within the property industry, court documents reveal. The businessman had hired the gardening expert's firm Alasdair Cameron Landscaping to design and carry out works at his home set on three acres of gardens and woodland in Kingston-upon-Thames, Surrey.

Lawyers for Mr Cameron have told the High Court that Mr Harrison made the threats when challenged over an alleged shortfall in payments for work carried out in 2021 and 2022. Mr Cameron also said the businessman 'owed ACL money and had not paid for plants and materials which were at his property and which he was asserting ACL must not remove, despite him not having paid for them', she added.

The phone conversations took place on May 7, 2022, with Mr Cameron's lawyer insisting he 'did not raise his voice or behave unreasonably'. She says Mr Harrison responded to being told the gardener needed time to remove stone which had not been paid for, by saying: 'You try and take anything off site, and you will have a visit from two of my friends from Manchester.

He then hung up before Mr Cameron called back and 'made clear that he did not want him coming to his home', Ms Wilson added. The tycoon has made a subject access request under the Data Protection Act to force Mr Cameron to reveal who the information was shared with. 'Mr Cameron subsequently, on a date unknown to Mr Harrison, prepared transcripts of the recordings using electronic word processing equipment.

'Upon making further inquiries, Mr Harrison discovered that the recordings/transcripts had also been made available to other professional contacts of Mr Harrison in the property investment industry.'
