Carrie Johnson’s boss faces a new scandal after a wildlife charity paid £50,000 to his wife’s interior design firm.
Victoria Aspinall or her firm received £352,658 over a four-year period from two charities.
The £50,000 from Howletts Wild Animal Trust (HWAT) was in 2021 – the year the Charity Commission began a probe into “related party transactions”. The trust is headed by Damian Aspinall, 62, who also chairs the Aspinall Foundation (AF) – where ex-PM Boris Johnson’s wife Carrie, 34, is communications director.
