Speaking to The Drum, Sir Martin paid tribute to Decaux, who passed away at the age of 78 on Friday (27 May), describing him as “a patriarch, innovator and true entrepreneur, who built a sustainable, long-term brand in out-of-home and incredible share owner value.”

He added that Decaux was “an example to all of us” and said that “all at WPP wish his family long life.”
