The former owner of Norton Motorcycles has been spared jail after illegally putting millions of pounds of investor’s pension money into the failing business.
Stuart Garner was given an eight-month jail sentence, suspended for two years, for using pension schemes linked to the firm to prop up the business when he still owned it.
He has also been disqualified from being a company director for three years and ordered to pay more than £20,000 in costs, despite being bankrupt.
