I was listening to the radio some time back....it might have been Any Questions, the boss of Timpsons said that he took on people with criminal records, when other employers didn't.
Mikey, I was with NACRO a few years back and Timpsons was mentioned, unfortunetly theres only one (very small) timpsons key cutters here so not much chance of employment. Good to know though that some employers don't tar everyone with the same brush. If only other employers would take the same attitude.
