William Hill Shop Sign which Killed Man was 'a Great Fix' William Hill store indication which killed guy was 'a good fix' 8 October 2018 An employee who installed a 31 stone (200kg) indication above a bookies which fell and crushed a man has told a court it was "an excellent fix" when he put it up. Jacob Marx had been working in London for 4 months when he was crushed by the indication outside a William Hill bookies on 28 January 2013. Carlos Park informed Blackfriars Crown Court the fascia he attached the indication to had actually been "strong". William Hill Organisation Ltd rejects breaching health and safety. New Zealand nationwide Mr Marx, 27, suffered a damaged neck and a fractured skull after the sign fell 2m on to him outside the bookies in Camden Road. The court heard Mr Park was working for Saltwell Signs when he fitted the check in 2006. He informed the jury he had got a "good fix" to the plywood fascia when screwing it up. "The fascia was solid. I can inform when I am taking the screws out (of the old indication)," he stated. Mr Park stated he performed a visual evaluation of the plywood "to see there is not any rot" but added that the fascia "should be fit for function when I turn up." Former Saltwell's factory supervisor Terrance English told the court the sign fitter was not responsible for inspecting the structure's structure. When asked by John Cooper, protecting William Hill, if the fitter had no obligation for the structure below he stated: "Yes, simply the fascia, not the structure itself." William Hill Organisation Ltd rejects one count of failing to make sure the safety of non-employees and one count of failing to make sure the security of staff members. The trial continues.
