SUCKING IT UP

Bagless vacuum cleaner maker Dyson has agreed a multi-million pound settlement with its former boss.

The firm, controlled by billionaire Sir James Dyson, brought a High Court case against ex-chief executive Max Conze over allegations he disclosed company secrets.

Conze had denied the allegations, and said the firm had been trying to divert attention away from his claims levelled at them.

Conze’s spokesman said all claims were settled. Dyson declined to comment.
