UK water crisis, the Rich List and PR wellbeing

David Yelland and Simon Lewis discuss South West Water鈥檚 handling of the Brixham crisis, getting on and off The Sunday Times Rich List, and PR work culture.

David Yelland and Simon Lewis discuss South West Water鈥檚 handling of the Brixham water contamination and what this tells us about the fundamental problems in the UK water industry. Why were the people of South Devon told their water was safe when it was not? And when a crisis hits, who is the best person to speak on behalf of a company. Is it the 'chief customer officer'?

Also, in the week The Sunday Times Rich List is published, Simon and David share some secrets about how the blue chip PR world tries to get people on the list - and also get people off it!

And does the PR industry look after the mental health of its own people well enough? They take a look at a concerning report.
