Hi All,
First of all, thank you in advance to anybody who donates their time to reading, commenting or contributing to my post.
I have recently been dismissed from my position. I don't have a grievance there. I was dismissed as it was my intention to leave and setup my own business. I had been approached a couple of times by a current supplier of my employer and they planted the seed of dealing direct. My current employer got wind of it, it was investigated and I was dismissed. They ticked all the boxes there, however my concern now would be the restrictive covenant as attached.
My research on this has brought mixed results. It seems that they are quite subjective and often difficult to enforce. Would I be right in thinking that they are often a preventative bluff rather than a barrier to work? If taken on face value it would seem that whether I worked for myself or another company within the industry then I could not deal with any of the suppliers/manufacturers as they would fall under "Client", or is it just specific to customers?
Again, thank you all.
