Embattled public relations firm Bell Pottinger has had its membership of the Public Relations and Communications Association (PRCA) terminated.
In a press statement embargoed for 01:00 on Tuesday, September 5, the UK-based PRCA announced that Bell Pottinger would not be eligible to reapply for corporate membership of the PRCA for a minimum period of five years.
