A former recruitment consultant for Ribchester-based recruitment firm Ginger Recruitment Services has been given eight months in jail for defrauding the firm by making false expense claims, according to the Lancashire Post. Mark Hudson defrauded the firm by faking journeys as far as Norwich, purporting to be meeting with other businesses. The Preston Crown Court heard that he claimed mileage expenses on 18 occasions for journeys across the country. However, the firms involved later revealed he had never met with them.
