I believe it's called a restrictive covenant and nigh on impossible to enforce. Only chance his boss would have is prevent him going to his current customers, for a period of time. I, personally, doubt they could prevent him setting up and getting his own customers. Again, as in financial advice, if you are considering doing this seek professional legal advice. 

I've learnt something. A couple of years ago a local employed windie had that 'imposed' on him.

He's now working for another employer with the potential to go self employed at a future date.

A friend of mine sold his business for gazillions and had to work there for 5 years as part of the deal. He put his notice in towards the end of the period and they put him on garden leave. I'd never heard of it and looked into it, and other ways of preventing people doing the job they knew. 

It's almost like terms and conditions where the company can only apply them if deemed fair and reasonable, that is to cover their costs incurred.

We were talking about the buyout by B&Q of Screwfix the other day in the van. What surprised me was that the previous owner of Screwfix was permitted to open competitor stores selling the same product a little cheaper from premises near Screwfix.

I have often wondered if that was an oversight of B&Q's purchasing team to add a non trading clause or whether it was the agreeing to this that it was the only way that they could buy the company.

From my standpoint, what B&Q agreed to, or forgot to agree to, just doesn't make business sense to me. The outcome though appears to have been positive for both parties.

I do appreciate that having 2 different companies like Tool Station and Screwfixin close proximity is probably good for business for both of them. In the days of Reg Vardy in York, there was only Vardy's and Cooks on the 'other' side of the river. The rest of the motor dealerships where relocated to the industrial estate to the North of York, Clifton Moor.

When Cooks folded it only left Vardy's and our foot business dropped off. Customer's would make the effort to visit 2 sales lots but not 1.
