Haulage companies fined £2.2 million after depot manager killed by HGV lorry
Two transport companies have been fined a combined total of £2.2m after "a loving dad and husband" was killed when he was hit by a HGV in Birmingham.
Neil Roberts, 60, was a depot manager of Turners (Soham) Limited when he was struck by a reversing HGV in August 2019.
The incident happened at the premises of The Haulage Group Ltd (previously known as Howell Group Ltd), on Inkerman Street, when the vehicle reversed out of a parking space in the transport yard.
An investigation by the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) found the companies had failed to manage the risk associated with workplace transport.
