A former employee and a North East firm have reached a financial settlement following a claim of unfair dismissal.
Triple Shield Property Maintenance, based in Cramlington, Northumberland, was defending itself against a claim of unfair dismissal brought by David Snowball, who was employed by them as a painter and handyman.
Mr Snowball, 54, alleged he was unfairly dismissed after five years at the company for making whistleblowing claims.
