BADGER OR BUST – GREENTREES
The Badger heads to rural Norfolk to turn around the fortunes of hapless caravan sellers Greentrees Adventure Store. With a childish team of burping, farting, squabbling salesmen, a boss who doesn’t know what day of the week it is (literally) and over a million pounds worth of stock gathering dust, it’s a mammoth challenge for Ruth.
“Greentrees was an emotional roller coaster. We’ve got the Gordon Ramsay of Norfolk as the owner, we’ve got Vern, who was literally a broken man, Matt who had the biggest attitude I’ve come across in business and Mark, who didn’t show any personality at all. If you want to see conflict and you want to see how to manage attitude, then watch Greentrees.”
Ruth’s undercover filming reveals some alarming practices and with 30 other dealers competing in the area, it’s sure to be one of the Badger’s toughest challenges to date.

Hi, Im Matt or affectionatley named Cocky Matt by badger or bust. The one thing that stood out for me in the making of the programme is the complete lack of factual information. There were so many untruthes reported in our show that it really doesnt warrant being called a reality show at all. The broadcasted figures were inflated or deflated to suit, we are not surrounded by 30 other dealers as in Norfolk there is only 5-6 main dealers and so on. As for Ruth Badger trying to get me the sack, well it is true i didnt play her game but then after two weeks of someone constantly telling you they are great cos they are on the telly and you are just a worthless caravan salesman enough was enough and i stood my ground which really annoyed her. she told all the big cheesers here she really cared about our business and would visit us after the programme aired, shock horror, she has been payed and we havent seen or heared from her since. Ruth thought a public sacking would help her ratings which just shows how very little she does know about business as there would definatley been a unfair dismissal court case pending. Hope you all enjoyed the show but please dont think for one minute what you saw was a factual account of our business and if you ever have the misfortune to meet That Fat Badger Man (as i have affectionatley named her) please offer her all the chocolate and burgers you can. Being cocky never killed anyone but being obese is a worrying trend and does kill. On a personal note Ruth, Good luck with the whole lesbian thing cos lets face it regardless of how much fame and fortune you have, no bloke is going to ride them ripples.

I bought a caravan from Marc Jordan earlier this year and I have to say I believe everything that was said about him. I recently had a problem with the new caravan and he really couldn’t of given a toss. It’s a shame because everyone else there seemed very efficient and are let down by this jumped up little upstart.

The above comment was posted by a sour employee not a real customer so take no note, Marc is the most professional salesman there and his service is second to none, and i should know as i have bought my last 3 caravans from him and my brother and father have also dealt with him!
