You may as well just get the offending clause removed to begin with. why open yourself up to potential problems in the future?
i had a simialr thing happen in Aus once (years ago). Luckily the girl i was seeing at the time, her brother, a very good employment lawyer said it is unenforceable, however, the best option was to remove the clause. There was a possibility that it could go to the courts if they chose to pursue it aggressively after you left. His position was "why would you potentially want that headache, even though you are in the right, it will no doubt cause some sleepless nights and stress...just get them to remove it".

In the UK that wouldn't be legal - you can't prevent someone from earning a living once they've left your employment. You can try . . . but it wouldn't stand up if challenged.

my old boss asked me to sign 18 month no worky contract if i left.
I pinned it to his notice board with a post it note saying "Think this needs work"
was never mentioned again.

there's usually something about setting up a competitive business within a given area but never for employment/freelance and never for 2 years.
- The business seems reasonable, but fuck the two year employment drivel.chossy
