Glasgow Flip Out trampoline park boss wins £54,000 payout after he was sacked for whistleblowing

He stated that he didn't believe there was a "genuine redundancy situation", claiming the redundancy process was a "cover for the desire to remove him from his employment".
He also believed the move was
