A former criminal who was jailed for his part in a £1m drug conspiracy has won an award for his work helping hundreds of ex-offenders find long term jobs.
John Burton, from Vauxhall, was sentenced to nine and a half years in 2012 after masterminding a £1m conspiracy which supplied cannabis, cocaine and amphetamine to street dealers in South Wales and the West Midlands.
He later had an extra 30 months added to his jail sentence after police unravelled an elaborate web of money laundering. The Liverpool dad was once known as ' Juicebomb John' within the underworld due to his muscular appearance.
