Two employees drowned after falling into a haulage tanker containing semi-liquid pig feed. A food waste recycling company has been convicted of corporate manslaughter following the death of Nathan Walker, 19, and Gavin Rawson, 35, who died in December 2016.
Greenfeeds Ltd, based in Normanton, Bottesford, was owned and run by the Leivers family from Newark - including Ian Leivers and his wife Gillian Leivers. The business produced bio-fuel and pig feed from recycled products which were then delivered using road haulage tankers.
On the afternoon of December 22, Mr Walker, who was a member of yard staff at the company, had climbed into a tanker to clean it after it was found the tanker could not be fully emptied of the pig feed. The 19-year-old, who was expecting his first child at the time, got into difficulty and the alarm was raised.
