We took up The MRP Group’s offer of free assistance. They have helped us negotiate agreements with our landlords, and assisted in stabilising our cash flow during uncertain times. They were a great help to our company!

Mr Ranjan
Dreams Unlimited - Managing Director

I would like to give a big shoutout to Max Thorne from MRP Group for making a huge difference for us in an extremely stressful situation.

 

I received a generic email from MRP out of the blue offering to assist any Serviced Accommodation operator in reviewing, negotiating and proposing operational solutions to ensure their business maintains inventory at a diminished or even a zero-rent basis.

 

At this time of global crisis, when I was left with zero cashflow and growing debt through rent and bills that still needed to be paid and lawyers asking upwards of £1000 just to review my lease to advise what rights I may have, MRP was offering this service free of charge and this was God sent for me!

 

I reached out immediately and Max was on phone with me the next morning itself. It was comforting just speaking to him and knowing that he had my back. He offered to take on negotiating with the leaseholder of the block of properties I had recently taken over and through a series of conversations we were successful in bringing the rent down to 30% of contracted terms (no deferral but actual rent reduction) till the time Covid 19 lockdown is in progress!

 

I can’t thank and recommend Max and MRP enough for the blessing they have been for me, my family and my business.

Anyone who is struggling with similar circumstances – don’t suffer in silence – Pls reach out to MRP immediately. They are awesome!
