£61k payout | Manager unfairly dismissed after remotely working from Egypt

A senior sales manager at app-based delivery firm Foodhub has won his unfair dismissal case after an employment tribunal found his employer mishandled allegations that he was secretly working remotely from Egypt instead of being in the UK field.

Mr Tanveer Shah, formerly UK Field Sales Manager, was summarily dismissed in August 2022 after chief executive officer (CEO) Ardian Mula accused him of failing to fulfil his duties and misrepresenting his role. The tribunal has now ruled his dismissal was unfair, awarding him more than £61,000 in compensation.
