Ad mogul Sir Martin Sorrell quit WPP over claims he was spotted visiting a £60-a-time brothel by two of his staff
AD mogul Sir Martin Sorrell was spotted visiting a £60-a-time brothel by two of his staff, it was claimed last night.
The £500million former WPP boss, 73, allegedly went there the night before his firm’s AGM.
It is in a single upstairs room with a sign inside reading “beautiful model”.
A WPP employee out with a work pal saw Sir Martin entering the venue next to a bookies in Mayfair, central London.
He took a snap of the entrance and told bosses.
It sparked an inquiry into claims of personal misconduct and misuse of WPP funds, with claims he paid a hooker £300 with a company credit card — an allegation he denies.
Sir Martin, wed to Cristiana, quit before it ended.
Sex websites say at least three girls a week work in shifts at the vice den.
One on duty when he is said to have visited is a Brit who calls herself Soho Scarlett.
Her Twitter page has her reviews of clients and a snap of an escort in undies as a man strokes her chin.
Scarlett, 34, last night denied meeting Sir Martin.
Sex websites say the venue opens from 2pm-2am. Punters pay from £60 for 20 minutes to £160 for an hour.
Sir Martin was allegedly there last June when his first child with wife No2 Cristiana was just seven months old.
Earlier this year WPP got lawyers to investigate him.
In March they quizzed him for two hours.
Questions also covered alleged treatment of staff, some of whom reportedly said he created a “fear culture” and hurled abuse.
Sir Martin quit in April after 33 years as WPP chief but denies any wrongdoing.
His spokesman said a gagging clause when he left stops him discussing his exit.
The spokesman also said Sir Martin “strenuously denies” the credit card claim.
WPP says data laws bar it from detailing allegations.
