A breast cancer survivor has won a £15,000 payout after she was fired by a marketing firm while she was 'seriously ill'.
'Dedicated' Lauren Henry was sacked 'out of the blue' while on sick leave, which she was forced to take due to a post-operation infection, a tribunal heard.
The executive had only joined the marketing agency a week before she was diagnosed with cancer, it was heard.
The panel heard that the driven executive had been recruited to 'generate revenue' for the business - but was unable to do so because of her absence.
This ultimately led to managing director Jamie Parker firing her due to financial difficulties in which it became 'untenable' to 'support' her through her illness.
