Advertising guru Sir Martin Sorrell is facing fresh allegations of misconduct after becoming embroiled in an extraordinary bust-up with one of his former colleagues. One attendee told the Financial Times that Sir Martin, who now runs rival firm S4 Capital, had approached Mr Prior and slapped his cheek before launching a ‘tirade’ against him. However Sir Martin claims Mr Prior approached him, adding: ‘I took him to task for his comment. I did not slap him.’But a source close to WPP claimed that Sir Martin had misremembered the incident. Sir Martin left WPP after more than 30 years following claims he misused company funds and that he bullied staff.
