Jon Craig attack - Walkers deny all former employee's claims

A statement has been released by Walkers Shortbread disputing all the claims put forward by Jon Craig.

A spokesperson for the company said: "We strongly refute any of the allegations he has made.

"Jon Craig was employed by us and left due to child care reasons in May 2016.

"He did raise a complaint during his employment which was dealt with in accordance with our procedures and all allegations were unfounded and unsubstantiated.

"At Walkers the welfare of our staff is our top priority and therefore taken very seriously, our robust policies and procedures ensure all employment matters are dealt with in a fair and equitable manner."

Craig, who has been in custody since December 8 will be sentenced by judge Lord Mulholland next month.
