Bell Pottinger is a British multinational public relations and marketing company, co-founded in 1989 by Tim Bell, who advised Margaret Thatcher on media matters when she was UK Prime Minister, and Piers Pottinger.[1] With headquarters in London, Bell Pottinger is the largest UK-based public relations consultancy measured by 2010 fee income[2] and is described as having "the most controversial client list" in the PR industry.[3][4]
In 2010 Pelham Public Relations, a financial public relations business, merged with Bell Pottinger Corporate and Financial.[5] In December 2011, Bell Pottinger came under public scrutiny after managers were secretly recorded talking to fake representatives of the Uzbekistan government[6] and violating Wikipedia rules by removing negative information and replacing it with positive spin.[7][8]
In June 2012, Lord Bell of Belgravia and Bell Pottinger CEO James Henderson completed a £19.6m management buyout from Chime Communications, whose deputy chairman Piers Pottinger moved to the new company BPP Communications (BPPC). Chime retained a 25% stake and a seat on the board of BPPC, which comprises Bell Pottinger Public Relations, Pelham Bell Pottinger, Bell Pottinger Public Affairs, Bell Pottinger Sans Frontieres and Bell Pottinger Middle East.[9]
In June 2014, BPPC acquired Centreground Political Communications, founded by Tony Blair's former Special Adviser Darren Murphy, and launched a new service aimed at the luxury sector in September that year.[10][11]
