The family of Hollie Gazzard, the hairdresser murdered by her ex-boyfriend at the salon where she worked in Gloucester, has called on employers to help identify staff who are victims of domestic violence. Hollie was killed in February 2014, with Asher Maslin later jailed for her murder.

Hollie's father Nick Gazzard has, since her murder, set about tackling abuse in relationships through the trust his family has set up in Hollie's name.

He has now turned his attention to the workplace, with a conference encouraging employers to help staff who may be in an abusive relationship or being stalked.

The Hollie Gazzard Trust is planning similar conferences in Wiltshire and the former Avon, and want as many employers as possible to get involved, helping to give a voice to staff who are being abused at home, or in a relationship.
