T&N mesothelioma widow wins payment

The widow of a man who died from mesothelioma has received £218,000 from the trustees of Turner and Newall (T&N). It is said to be one of the biggest payments received by family members of those who have died from exposure to asbestos at T&N’s factories across the country. Her husband was exposed to asbestos as a 16-year-old apprentice. He worked weaving belts for brake pads.
