THE managing director of a Cheshire business left his wife feeling anxious and depressed as a result of his controlling and coercive behaviour. David Lewis was made to face up to his actions before Chester Crown Court, where his wife read out a powerful statement detailing how they had affected her. The 50-year-old, the managing director of Warrington-based employment agency Integra People, admitted that his behaviour would likely have caused her to fear violence. But he was spared an immediate jail sentence after the court heard how his imprisonment could jeopardise the jobs of those who work for him. Dafydd Roberts, prosecuting, told the court how Lewis married his wife in 2010, but his controlling and coercive behaviour became apparent over the last three years.
