Linley Development Limited, the company Gareth was working for, pleaded guilty to Corporate Manslaughter at court yesterday (September 7).
Managing Director Trevor Hyatt, who is 50 years old and from Chapel Lane in Letty Green, and Alfred Baker, who is 59 years old and from Highwood Road, Gazeley, and a project manager, have each pleaded guilty to contravening health and safety regulations on two counts, which have been found to be causative to the death.
They will be sentenced at St Albans Crown Court on September 22.
