Former Bell Pottinger boss said to be "back in business"...

Remember James Henderson?

He was the chief executive of Bell Pottinger until the firm imploded over its work for the Gupta family in South Africa. And the firm's implosion dominated mainstream media organisations thanks to Lord Bell's car crash interview on BBC's Newsnight and Henderson's high-profile connections, including his glamorous girlfriend Heather Kerzner, the South African born socialite.

Many in the PR industry thought it must be over for both Lord Bell and Henderson. But Betaville's moles have got in with an interesting titbit about Henderson. Apparently, he has returned to the high flying world of public relations advisory work and has even hired a junior to help him out. "He is working for four or five clients," said one source close to the situation.

Word is Henderson is still working as a "sole trader" but plans to launch a new business and operating company next year. Do get in touch via the usual channels if you happen to come across the name of the new firm...
