Commenting on the news that James Watt is stepping down as boss of Brewdog after 17 years as CEO, TUC General Secretary Paul Nowak said:

“This should be cautionary tale to bad bosses.

“If you slash workers’ pay and conditions you will be called out in public and your business will suffer.

“Brewdog’s success has been built on the back of its workforce. They deserve to be valued properly.

“My message to the new CEO is simple – pay your staff the real Living Wage."
