Co-founder to remain as distillery MD after settlement

Summary

In November 2020, Bronagh Conlon, co‑founder and managing director of Listoke Distillery, settled High Court proceedings that had sought to prevent her dismissal. The lawsuit, filed in July, had requested an injunction to stop her termination and to bar the appointment of a new managing director, as well as an order restraining her dismissal pending the outcome of the case. The court adjourned the matter several times to allow out‑of‑court talks, during which Conlon remained in her role. On Thursday the High Court heard that the parties had reached a settlement, and the action could be struck out on consent. No settlement details were disclosed. Conlon's statement praised the legal and financial support she received and expressed gratitude to her family, customers, suppliers and the local community. The settlement allowed her to continue as MD of Listoke Distillery, which produces the Listoke 1777 gin and operates a gin school.
