I've got a conviction on my record for something I did over 25 years ago, I've got nothing else on my record since, I'd hate for this to hold me back from gaining employment.

My recent job requires me to access the main DHL Depot at East Midlands Airport, I have a CRB clearance which allows me to go airside. When the CRB came back they didn't say anything about the conviction 25 years ago.

actually it may have said about it as the employer CRB statement has stuff on it you don't see on the statement they send to you but they could well have decided quite rightly it wasn't relevant any more
