The managing director of an ethical company in Yorkshire said he will continue to hire ex-prisoners to give them a helping hand – despite a murderer on their payroll stealing more than £26,000 from their store.

Jeremy Piercy, Shared Earth’s managing director, said he forgives former nurse Alison Ramsay, 59, and insisted his ethical company would continue to hire ex-prisoners.

“In our view, it’s a very positive way of preventing crime in the future because so many prisoners reoffend when they come out because they don’t have jobs and they are getting no support, so in our view employing prisoners is very valuable, not just for the individuals but for the community as a whole.” He said when Ramsay did got out of prison, she would “find it hard to find a job” given she “could well be in her 60s”.
