A company that recruits Santas for shopping centres and corporate events is shocked a rival firm hired a man with indecency convictions to pose with children as father Christmas at three Auckland malls.

It’s emerged Australian firm Scene to Believe failed to carry out any police vetting before contracting disgraced teacher Timothy Fisher as a Santa at Westfield Manukau, Westfield Newmarket and Westfield St Lukes in 2022 and 2023.

Fisher – who concealed his previous offending under the Clean Slate Act when applying for registration with the Teaching Council – has since been jailed for abusing young girls at a private after-school tutoring company.

In a statement to the Herald, Scene to Believe’s managing director Stefan Hutton said the safety and well being of children was the company’s “highest priority”.

A review was now underway into the company’s processes.
