The director of a rail staffing specialist recruitment firm has been banned from running an employment agency for seven years, following an investigation by the Employment Agency Standards inspectorate (EAS), part of the Department for Business, Innovation and Skills. A
hearing at Norwich Employment Tribunal heard how Christine Lewiss, from Trimmingham near Norwich, withheld wages from workers totalling over £11,000. The offences were committed by two companies she operated, Rail Recruit UK and Rail Recruit UK Projects. Lewiss has now been banned from running or being concerned with the running of an employment agency or employment business for seven years.
