The director of a cryotherapy firm used by international and Premier League football teams, including the Wales squad, was sacked after a cryo-chamber he installed leaked dangerous gases which 'could have led to fatalities', an employment tribunal heard. But David Morris has now won compensation after a tribunal heard his company knew what he was doing.
Mr Morris stepped in to fit one of the £80,000 chambers as the company's engineer was unavailable. But a potentially dangerous leak was found days later which might have killed someone using the hi-tech equipment, the tribunal heard.
The 55 year old, whose LinkedIn profile pictures him with high profile customers such as Wales star Gareth Bale, was later sacked by CryoAction - a company he co-founded - for fitting the device despite 'not being a qualified engineer'. However, the tribunal ruled in his favour after concluding employees including the company's principal health and safety officer were aware he was undertaking the work but said nothing against it.
