David Parker, 37, stole almost a quarter of a million pounds from the small company
A father who stole almost £240,000 from his employer has put his furious ex-colleagues at risk of redundancy. David Parker, 37, from Wythenshawe, Manchester stole almost a quarter of a million pounds from Multiplex Pension Trustees Ltd in order to pay off his debts.
One of the funds he had control over was for an Altrincham clothing company employing 50 people. A decision was made to wind up the fund dating back to the 1990s and Parker was tasked with writing to members of the scheme. However, unbeknown to his employer, he had been regularly stealing from the fund between 2016 and 2020.
An investigation found Parker transferred a total of £238,128.55 to various accounts; one in his name, one in the name of his partner and one in the name of his step-daughter. A team of seven who work at Multiplex were "devastated" and the firm's future was "very much uncertain", with some members of staff to be made redundant, said Ms Hever. She added that she personally felt a "huge sense of shock and upset" and also "feelings of guilt and self-blame".
Mr Simons said the money had not gone to "fund an extravagant lifestyle or purchase luxury items" but had been used to pay back a number of pay-day loans. Parker was said to have had felt such shame as his personal life "deteriorated" that he went to solicitors and instructed them to tell police he had been "helping himself" to money.
