Paula Vennells has said she was âtoo trustingâ as she was asked if she was the âunluckiest CEO in the United Kingdomâ. Giving evidence on her first day at the Post Office Horizon IT inquiry on Wednesday (22 May), Jason Beer KC asked Ms Vennells: âDo you think you are the unluckiest CEO in the United Kingdom?â She replied: âAs the inquiry has heard, there was information I wasnât given and others didnât receive as well. âOne of my reflections of all of this â I was too trusting.â Hundreds of subpostmasters were prosecuted by the business between 1999 and 2015 after Horizon, owned by Japanese company Fujitsu, made it appear as though money was missing at their branches.
