Wrexham ITEC has also been affected by the debacle at Sprouts, as it shared the same management. The HR difficulty that Cllr Wynn alludes to is a reference to a botched attempt by WCBC to dismiss the manager of Sprouts/ITEC which it is understood resulted in costs in excess of £100,000, to settle an unfair dismissal claim plus legal costs. This was not included in the Sprouts accounts as it was settled post-closure, so the cost was probably placed on Wrexham ITEC to be buried somewhere in their closure accounts, hence the reported shortfall for this year perhaps.

Perhaps Cllr Wynn could clarify?

This was not included in the Sprouts accounts as it was settled post-closure, so the cost was probably dropped on Wrexham ITEC to be buried somewhere in their closure accounts, perhaps this explains more clearly the reported shortfall for this year. Shame people have to lose their jobs to cover up incompetence elsewhere.
