A Braintree man, thought to have been unmasked as a notorious Twitter 'troll', has left his job.
Director at Alchemy Recruitment, Jeanette Parradine, said Robert Ambridge left his job as a consultant last week, but on a matter that did not concern the recent Twitter storm.
On April 17, online users from Liverpool published what they claim is the true identity of Old Holborn, a user who boasts more than 19,000 followers.
For more than a year he posted offensive messages regarding the Hillsborough stadium disaster and murdered child James Bulger.
Mr Ambridge's employers have since received death and arson threats.
"It was a mutual decision but one that didn't concern recent events," said Mrs Parradine.
"It's nothing to do with us now and I don't understand why people are still emailing.
"I am not responding anymore and we are absolutely fed up with it.
"If people have got a problem they should take it up with him, leave it with him and leave us alone."
Police are currently investigating tweets which also relate to the Boston marathon tragedy.
