A former waste disposal employee who left his job, taking information about previous clients with him, has been prosecuted and fined.
Mark Lloyd, who worked at Acorn Waste Management Ltd in Shropshire, emailed the details of 957 clients to his personal email address as he was leaving to start a new role at a rival company. The documents contained personal information including the contact details and purchase history of customers and commercially sensitive information. He was fined £300 and ordered to pay a victim surcharge of £30 and £405.98 in costs.
