'An inconvenience' | Tribunal awards £190k to director sacked after heart attack left him with brain injury

A “workaholic” senior director has been awarded nearly £190,000 after a tribunal found he was unfairly dismissed, following a heart attack that left him with a brain injury.

Darron Blewitt (the claimant), a regional operations director at Mach Recruitment, suffered a cardiac arrest in February 2020, which caused a hypoxic brain injury affecting his memory, cognition and energy levels.
