    Attempted contamination plot involving H. P. Bulmer

    Michael Hancocks, then a major shareholder and former managing director, organized a conspiracy to introduce a harmful yeast into rival H. P. Bulmer’s production line. The intended carrier reported the scheme, so no contamination took place. Hancocks was convicted of conspiracy to defraud, imprisoned for 18 months and dismissed from Aston Manor’s board.
