Evening standard article by Andrew Gilligan 30th July 2007Spring's PR company PPS accused of extremely dodgy behaviour ....they've contacted us and asked to put this disclaimer up ..otherwise they tell us their lawyers Carter Ruck will be writing to us.
PPS statement in relation to the Evening Standard article &
Channel 4 Dispatches Programme by Andrew Gilligan
The article in the London Evening Standard and the Dispatches television
programme
by Andrew Gilligan, concerning allegations that are nearly ten years old,
make a
number of statements about PPS practices that are totally unfounded, and
which we
utterly refute. We have put this matter into the hands of our lawyer,
Carter-Ruck,
and will vigorously contest these accusations.
PPS has not and would never forge letters, has not and would never bug
meetings and
has not and would never infiltrate campaign groups. PPS would dismiss any
staff or
consultant who undertook such activities as depicted in the article.
PPS engages in professional work to the highest standards at all times and
the
allegations described bear no relation to the truth.
