Worksop Wilko fined £2.2m after accident left worker in wheelchair
Worksop-based retail chain Wilko has been fined £2.2m after an accident left a worker in a wheelchair.
The company admitted liability after staff member Corisande Collins was involved in an accident at their store in Leicester.
The 23-year-old now has to use a wheelchair after a metal cage filled with paint fell on her and she suffered a spinal fracture.
Prosecutors during a hearing at Leicester Crown Court last month said there was “inadequate training for employees” at the store.
