Ep 28 - Caviar Express - who wouldn't you work for?

Sep 7

Following the Russian invasion of Ukraine, UK-based consultants were placed in the national spotlight for ties to Russian entities.

The press focused on how consultants in the law and PR for example, had made millions, on the ‘Caviar Express’ through ties to Russian oligarchs.

For many years the PR industry has been accused of having a grubbier side, looking to unduly profit by reputation washing those less than savoury characters with large wallets.

An easy target now, but Bell Pottinger was very much of that ilk, operating at the very edge and all too often crossing the line, resulting in its demise.

And yet, if people, and firms deserve their day in court, to put across their version of events, then so too do they in the court of public opinion. And just as they need their legal experts, so they need communications advisors. Surely that is the sign of a fair and well-functioning democracy?

This edition of The Little Questions podcast is presented by Andrew Brown and Matt Young.
