The charges related to work carried out in July 2020 when he was trading under a company name of Red Roofing Ltd and a customer was asked to transfer £1,500 into a bank account belonging to business associate Claire Brooks, who denies all charges.
Spurling, aged 49, of Station Road, Balsall Common.
