A West Midlands financial director has been jailed after he used company credit cards to book luxury holidays to Florida and cruises.

David Carr, 34, from Bidford-on-Avon in Warwickshire, pleaded guilty in June to three counts of fraud.

Between April 2014 and August 2022, he abused his position of trust to steal £300,000 to fund a lifestyle he couldn’t afford and eventually caused the Bromsgrove IT company, where he was the financial director, to go into administration.

As well as trips to Disney World, he also bought high value items such as computers, high-tech gadgets and designer exercise bikes.

An investigation into Carr’s fraudulent gains started in August 2022 leading to his arrested in October 2022, and him being charged in July 2023.
