Related-party transaction: Avis Robinson (Ms) is the controlling director of KCL Communications Limited (KCL) a PR and communications agency and also a trustee of Community Connex Limited. Community Connex Limited has an arrangement with KCL to provide her with desk space at 3 Jardine House in exchange for public relations and communications services. KCL pays for incidental services such as telephone, use of the photocopier and printer. From Community Connex Limited’s perspective the desk space is surplus to requirements so there is no cost associated with providing it, and the benefit of “free” press release drafting etc. far outweighs the cost of providing the desk space.
