Employment law - is non-compete valid if made redundant?

there are some wrong answers here. The restrictive covenant is enforceable as long as it is reasonable (which 6 months is) and protects a legitimate business interest. 

6 months is a long period of time for a non-compete. There are lots of cases where the courts have held that unenforceable, even for people in pretty senior roles.

There is no way that would be enforceable against an average employee - you'd have to be in a very senior role.  The Op hasn't said what his role involved so its difficult to make that assessment.
