A shamed dad was sacked from his "very well paid job" at a major firm after being outed as a paedophile.
Andrew Teale was exposed following an operation by the North West Regional Organised Crime Unit. The ECHO can now reveal that, until his arrest, the 43-year-old was an important figure at FTSE 250-listed company AJ Bell.
He previously served as the investment platform's head of innovation and was listed as one of its directors on Companies House from 2007 onwards before his resignation in July this year. Teale was previously responsible for "overseeing major IT initiatives across the business", according to news of his promotion on industry sites four years ago.
