A bid to hold three ex-partners of fallen PR giant Bell Pottinger liable for its disastrous campaign for the Gupta family in SA has been closed. The UK Insolvency Service has said it will no longer pursue a case to have former partners James Henderson, Victoria Geoghegan and Nick Lambert disqualified from acting as company directors.
As insolvencies in the UK hit their highest level in 13 years, Colin Haig, immediate past president of R3, says there are too many directors seeking help too late.
