While on police bail, the 51-year-old is then alleged to have stolen £25,000 from water treatment firm Brodex, where he was employed as an accountant. Wilding, described as a “well-to-do, well presented” man, will be charged with four counts of fraud and two of theft at North Sefton magistrates’ court next Friday, June 3. Executive members at Southport Conservative Club raised the alarm in August 2009 after spotting anomalies with the private club’s accounts over the course of a year.
Adam Urbanowski, chairman of Southport Conservative Club, said the losses were such that the viability of the club had been placed in immediate danger. He said: “If it wasn’t for a wealthy benefactor who stepped in to help, the club would probably have folded. “When the money went, our cash flow went and we couldn’t pay the bills. “This chap stepped in and basically saved the club. We really are indebted to him.”
Mr Wilding, a former jewellery shop owner, worked for Brodex from January to July 2010, while on police bail. He was re-arrested by police after managing director Sean Burke reported accounts discrepancies of £25,000. Describing Wilding, Mr Burke said: “He is your typical middle-aged married man. A well-to-do, well presented, ex-corporate kind of bloke. “He was calmly spoken and well spoken, very articulate. “He passed his interview with flying colours and quickly got his feet behind the table, he was very keen to take control.”
Mr Burke, whose firm manufactures window cleaning machines and telescopic poles, and said the disappearance of the cash threatened the livelihood of the business. He said: “We are still feeling the repercussions of losing that money now. “It caused the company accounts to drop into a loss which harmed our credit rating.”

New Alloy Hydra Pole: The aircraft-grade aluminium construction is precision-engineered and anodised for hardwearing ease of use. That’s why we guarantee it for 3 years, so you can rely on it. This is the Aluminium pole you’ve been waiting for, at a brilliant launch price that will astound you! An entirely new alloy version of the best-selling Hydra, with the famous shorter sections for versatility and manageability. Truly the pole of the future! By increasing the number of sections we have been able to reduce their collapsed length, making them easier to transport and, by manufacturing the sections to be narrower, we have improved the grip and comfort of the poles. The Hydra is one of the lightest poles on the market, but is precision-engineered to be tough and rigid. All Brodex Poles are 100% Complete, Ready-to-Use!
New 16" Brodex Lightweight brush head c/w injector & head hoses. The brilliant NEW 16" version of the Brodex Lightweight brush head. Now with narrow integral injectors. Complete with hoses and Y-clip. Quality water fed pole brush head, gives great cleaning results, window cleaning mono-filament bristles. Suitable for all German-threaded plastic cranks and Brodex aluminium goosenecks.
Brilliant New Carbonlight Modular Pole: The brilliant new Brodex Carbonlight is a flyweight pole with heavyweight capabilities. It’s modular in design, so you can easily add or remove sections to suit your work-height. The sections are all only 6ft long for manageability. And the widest section is only 49mm in diameter, so you don’t have the wide-grip discomfort normally associated with most extreme-reach poles, often up to 60mm (not so our Hydra, that’s a mere 51mm). The pole hose is external, but kept in place by twisting it once round each section you add, and securing it with the quick and convenient Velcro straps supplied. Using the number of sections to suit your working height: the 36ft bare pole, for example, weighs in at a mere 1.3 kg, using six sections. And even when you move up to the 60ft you’re only lifting an incredible 2.6 kg. • Less than half the weight of a conventional telescopic pole • Lightest 60ft pole on the market • Work comfortably • For longer periods • At heights you never thought possible. Supplied complete with FREE shoulder holdall. Most extreme length poles are really difficult to deploy. Not the Carbonlight! You can lift it from horizontal and get to all those elusive 5th & 6th floor windows, without “walking” it up the wall. Or, in narrow access areas, raise it vertically, simply adding a section at a time. Extend your round to take in much larger properties and that highly lucrative commercial work. It’s so light you’ll want to use it for all of your work… so remove a section and carry on working your way down the building. Remove another section… and another… and another and, suddenly, you’ll find you’re using it for the ground floor. The most versatile investment you’ve ever made. All Brodex Poles are 100% Complete, Ready-to-Use!
