Personal Life
Wallwork runs a clothes business, D&R Designers, in Failsworth, Greater Manchester. In 2007, the business was burgled, with hundreds of pounds worth of goods stolen. On 18 August 2008, Wallwork was seen to be talking on his mobile phone while driving his BMW 525, in Failsworth. He pleaded guilty to the offence five months later and was fined £35, ordered to pay £35 costs and a £15 victim surcharge, and was given three penalty points on his licence. On 18 January 2011, he was charged with concealing criminal property in connection with offences relating to stolen cars. On 1 July 2011, he pleaded guilty to three counts of handling stolen cars. Judge Simon Newell denied Wallwork's defence lawyer's pleas for his client to be given a suspended sentence and jailed Wallwork for 15 months on 5 December 2011. He called the set-up "professional and sophisicated".

Famous quotes containing the words personal and/or life:
“Hostesses who entertain much must make up their parties as ministers make up their cabinets, on grounds other than personal liking.”
—George Eliot [Mary Ann (or Marian)
“It might be seen by what tenure men held the earth. The smallest stream is mediterranean sea, a smaller ocean creek within the land, where men may steer by their farm bounds and cottage lights. For my own part, but for the geographers, I should hardly have known how large a portion of our globe is water, my life has chiefly passed within so deep a cove. Yet I have sometimes ventured as far as to the mouth of my Snug Harbor.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
