An inquest into the death of a delivery driver in Workington is set to begin today.

Richard Andrew Brown, 48, of Hull, died at Howdens Joinery on Clay Flatts on November 10, 2014.

The inquest, at Cleator Moor Civic Hall, is expected to last five days.

At a pre-inquest review at Cockermouth Coroners' Court in July, it was agreed that the inquest would hear from people who provided forklift training to Howdens employees and people who had worked for the firm about working practices.

Up to 14 witnesses could give evidence to the inquest, which will be held before a jury.
