It's the first time anyone from the company has met with former sub-postmasters in person since hundreds were wrongfully accused of stealing.
The boss of Fujitsu's European arm has apologised in person to former sub-postmasters. Speaking following the meetings in London, Paul Patterson told Sky News he was 'really grateful for their time'. He described 'a really good conversation' held in private. 'It's not for me to get into that now - it was actually quite emotional to hear it,' he said.
' 'He did apologise, he said he had great regard for the postmasters - he apologised - but they are empty words, what we need is positive action.' Earlier this year, Fujitsu admitted it had a 'moral obligation' to contribute towards compensation for victims. Mr Patterson told Sky News: 'We made that comment in January, that we will contribute to redress. 'And we will do that. Our current position is that's when the inquiry finishes.
