Talk:James Henderson (businessman)

Amendments
I have received an unsolicited email from the subject of the article (James Henderson) highlighting some factual inaccuracies. For openness and reference purposes:


 * I was at College Hill for over 14 years; my previous boss told PR Week 12 years but I joined in December 1989 and left in August 2004
 * The Bell Pottinger buy out was £26.5m - everyone uses £20.5m but it does not include the buy out of the Pelham shareholding from Chime at the time - they took their number from a Chime RNS which did not need to include the ancillary transaction
 * I became CEO as a result of investing 25% of the equity
 * Am not aware of any shareholder action or litigation regarding the demise of Bell Pottinger. Heather Kerzner is not pursuing this and as has been quoted in the media I have put 49% of my new business in her name in the hope in time to come she will recoup her investment that way ....."

The changes appear mainly factual and uncontroversial. I will amend the article as necessary (there are, as Mr Henderson says, sources [I found PR Week and Companies House] for part of the final point regarding Kerzner, but his point concerning 'shareholder action' remains open - the Dunne article merely said shareholders were considering legal action).

I have again received an unsolicited email from the subject of the article, highlighting inaccuracies. As a result, I made four amendments, which, for openness and reference purposes, I note here: Paul W (talk) 16:04, 11 September 2020 (UTC)
 * Changed the tense regarding Henderson's engagement to Kerzner (minor change - Daily Mail reported the relationship over, but the DM is deprecated as an unreliable source; couldn't find alternatives).
 * Clarified that JH was not CEO at time of 2011 Wikipedia BellP activities (consistent with timing of 2012 MBO mentioned in preceding section)
 * Amended the detail about Kerzner's shareholding in J&H (sourced to Companies House filing)
 * Put Brooks membership into past tense (as current membership cannot be independently verified)
