The director of a cryotherapy firm used by Premier League football teams has won more than £20,000 at a tribunal - despite being sacked for installing leaked dangerous gases which 'could have led to fatalities'. David Morris stepped in to fit one of the £80,000 chambers as the company's engineer was unavailable.
A potentially dangerous leak was found days later which might have killed someone using the hi-tech equipment, an employment tribunal heard. The 56-year-old, whose LinkedIn profile pictures him with high profile customers, 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. Mr Morris' claims of unfair and wrongful dismissal succeeded.
