The man, who had worked for the company for 27 years, was sacked in September 2021 after a private detective hired by his employers followed him and his company van over the course of a few days that July.
A fortnight later, he and two colleagues were seen drinking a total of seven litres of beer between mid-morning and the end of their lunchbreak. Later that day, the man was spotted drinking two 330ml cans of Heineken before drinking another can of beer and heading back to the company’s offices. Six days later, he was seen drinking a 330ml bottle of beer before lunch, before drinking three glasses of red wine with his meal, followed by a shot of pomace brandy.
