Vigilant Communication
From TobaccoTactics
Jump to navigationJump to searchVigilant Communication Ltd was a public relations company that worked for the tobacco manufacturer Gallaher. It was registered at Companies House in October 1999 and appears to have been dissolved in or after 2002.[1]
Vigilant was run by Nick Gibbon, who was a director of Sovereign Strategy Europe Ltd, another PR and lobbying company, between 2005 and 2009.[2]
The agenda for a meeting of the Tobacco Manufacturers' Association's Campaign Group, dated 5 January 2001, lists Gibbon attending on behalf of Gallaher.[3]
Although the Companies House register says that the company was established in 1999, a Gallaher memo from 1993 about No Smoking Day was copied to "Mr N Gibbon, Vigilant".[4]
