A former finance manager at a leading biotech firm has lost an equality claim in which she accused its CEO of treating her “like a waitress” when he asked her about getting more wine at a company dinner.

The exchange in October 2022 was part of a sequence of events set out in evidence by Tracey McGann, the former head of finance at biotech firm ERS Genomics, who alleged discrimination, victimisation and discriminatory constructive dismissal under the Employment Equality Act 1998 in statutory complaints.
