Long jail sentence for Nottinghamshire woman - and £2m fine for company - after men die in pig feed

Senior business managers from Nottinghamshire have been jailed after a food waste recycling company was convicted of the corporate manslaughter of two employees. Nathan Walker, 19, and Gavin Rawson, 35, died on December 22 2016 after falling into a tanker of semi-liquid pig feed, and both families have paid tribute to them.

The incident happened at Greenfeeds Ltd in Normanton, Bottesford, Leicestershire. The company produced bio-fuel and pig feed from recycled products which were then delivered using road haulage tankers.

It was owned and ran by the Leivers family including Ian Leivers and his wife Gillian Leivers. The firm was fined £2million and is now in liquidation after being convicted of the charges on June 7 after a six-week trial at Leicestershire Crown Court.
