Mears Facilities Management dismissed manager Bev Parkinson after he raised concerns about legionella in the water systems of Highland Council school. A school maintenance manager was unfairly constructively dismissed after he raised concerns about “exceptionally serious failures” in the management of a potentially deadly bacteria. Bev Parkinson, a former employee of Mears Facilities Management, was forced to resign after he was disciplined for highlighting problems with legionella bacteria at a group of schools within Highland Council. The bug, which can cause Legionnaires’ disease if not properly handled, was discovered in five schools in the council area in 2019, with Mr Parkinson writing a report stating that Mears did not have proper risk assessments or testing regimes in place.
