Halogen Communications, the Edinburgh-based public relations agency set up by a former government minister and a civil servant, has called in liquidators.
The agency, which also had an office in Washington, specialised in public and political relations, media training, crisis management, event management and strategic marketing.
Dunedin Advisory of Glenrothes has been appointed to wind up the company which is now in liquidation.
It was founded in 2002 by former Scottish Conservative party chairman and minister Raymond Robertson and John Crawford, who worked in advertising and the civil service and was a chief of Staff for the party.
Mr Robertson was MP for Aberdeen South from 1992 to 1997, and is a former minister for education, housing, fisheries and sport at the Scottish Office. He served as Parliamentary Private Secretary at the Northern Ireland Office.
Halogen’s team included a former senior civil servant, a leading QC, and former radio and press journalists.
Clients included the Association of Scotland’s Self-Caterers, Energy UK, the trade association for the energy industry in the UK, and the City of Glasgow College.
