WPP's Sorrell accused of personal misconduct


  • English
  • Arabic

WPP said it is looking into allegations of personal misconduct by chief executive Martin Sorrell involving possible misuse of company assets.

The board of the world’s largest advertising company is investigating the claim, according to a statement on Tuesday. The company said the amounts involved are not material. In his own statement, Mr Sorrell rejected the allegation while recognising the company has to investigate.

“Obviously, I shall play no part in the management of the investigation under way,” he said.

The board has hired a law firm to investigate "an allegation of personal misconduct against Sir Martin Sorrell," according to the statement. The Wall Street Journal reported on the matter earlier on Tuesday, saying the investigation involved personal behaviour and possible misuse of assets.

Mr Sorrell, 73, is a prominent figure in the advertising industry, having built WPP from an early investment in a British shopping-basket manufacturer. The company, based in London, had billings of $74 billion and 2017 revenue of more than $19bn.

WPP has lost a third of its market value over the past 12 months, a reflection of the tough climate ad agencies face as clients trim spending and companies like Google and Facebook gobble up an ever-larger share of corporate marketing budgets. Other major advertising companies, including Interpublic Group and Omnicom, have also declined.

WPP shares fell 8.2 per cent on March 1 when the company reported its worst annual performance since the financial crisis and gave a bleak outlook for the current year. They closed down 1.3 per cent on Tuesday in London before the allegations were reported.

The company said 2018 would be flat and that long-term earnings growth will be as little as 5 per cent and twice that at best, compared with a prediction of as much as 15 per cent previously. The year got off to a "slow start," WPP said in early March, continuing a trend from 2017 that featured flat margins and sales. Mr Sorrell said the outlook is deliberately cautious.

Some WPP watchers have been highly critical about what they perceive to be an over-reliance by the company on Mr Sorrell and have claimed there has been a lack of succession planning. Guy Jubb, who led the charge while he was head of corporate governance at Standard Life and is now an academic, spoke before Tuesday’s developments.

“Sorrell’s succession is a key risk for WPP,” Mr Jubb said. “The board has a responsibility to demonstrate convincingly that it is on the case. Failure to do so will inevitably impact on investor confidence and open the door for activists.”

Six pitfalls to avoid when trading company stocks

Following fashion

Investing is cyclical, buying last year's winners often means holding this year's losers.

Losing your balance

You end up with too much exposure to an individual company or sector that has taken your fancy.

Being over active

If you chop and change your portfolio too often, dealing charges will eat up your gains.

Running your losers

Investors hate admitting mistakes and hold onto bad stocks hoping they will come good.

Selling in a panic

If you sell up when the market drops, you have locked yourself out of the recovery.

Timing the market

Even the best investor in the world cannot consistently call market movements.

'Worse than a prison sentence'

Marie Byrne, a counsellor who volunteers at the UAE government's mental health crisis helpline, said the ordeal the crew had been through would take time to overcome.

“It was worse than a prison sentence, where at least someone can deal with a set amount of time incarcerated," she said.

“They were living in perpetual mystery as to how their futures would pan out, and what that would be.

“Because of coronavirus, the world is very different now to the one they left, that will also have an impact.

“It will not fully register until they are on dry land. Some have not seen their young children grow up while others will have to rebuild relationships.

“It will be a challenge mentally, and to find other work to support their families as they have been out of circulation for so long. Hopefully they will get the care they need when they get home.”

'The worst thing you can eat'

Trans fat is typically found in fried and baked goods, but you may be consuming more than you think.

Powdered coffee creamer, microwave popcorn and virtually anything processed with a crust is likely to contain it, as this guide from Mayo Clinic outlines: 

Baked goods - Most cakes, cookies, pie crusts and crackers contain shortening, which is usually made from partially hydrogenated vegetable oil. Ready-made frosting is another source of trans fat.

Snacks - Potato, corn and tortilla chips often contain trans fat. And while popcorn can be a healthy snack, many types of packaged or microwave popcorn use trans fat to help cook or flavour the popcorn.

Fried food - Foods that require deep frying — french fries, doughnuts and fried chicken — can contain trans fat from the oil used in the cooking process.

Refrigerator dough - Products such as canned biscuits and cinnamon rolls often contain trans fat, as do frozen pizza crusts.

Creamer and margarine - Nondairy coffee creamer and stick margarines also may contain partially hydrogenated vegetable oils.

How to wear a kandura

Dos

  • Wear the right fabric for the right season and occasion 
  • Always ask for the dress code if you don’t know
  • Wear a white kandura, white ghutra / shemagh (headwear) and black shoes for work 
  • Wear 100 per cent cotton under the kandura as most fabrics are polyester

Don’ts 

  • Wear hamdania for work, always wear a ghutra and agal 
  • Buy a kandura only based on how it feels; ask questions about the fabric and understand what you are buying
