MRM APPOINTED BY TARGET GROUP
MRM, the award winning multi-disciplined financial services PR consultancy, has today announced it has been appointed by Target Group to manage its corporate communications. The financial services outsourcing and software provider currently works with major financial institutions across the UK, Australia and New Zealand including Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley, Credit Suisse and Shawbrook Bank. It’s expertise in technology and outsourcing means Target Group is trusted to manage lending, investment and insurance portfolios for over 50 major financial institutions worth in excess of £24 billion.
As well as MRM’s appointment to manage day to day corporate communications, Target Group previously approached MRM in April 2016 to develop and execute a communications strategy to all its stakeholders around the sale of the business. The transaction saw private equity firm Pollen Street Capital sell Target Group to Indian giant Tech Mahindra. MRM was central in ensuring the comms around the deal were handled sensitively, efficiently and effectively and that excellent results were generated.
Chris Tuite, Associate Director at MRM, says:
“Target Group is going from strength to strength. The acquisition by Tech Mahindra will help the dedicated management team there to build on a number of years of strong growth and continue with its expansion plans. The senior team at Target has put its faith in MRM to assist with this phase of the company’s development and we couldn’t be more pleased to be able to play our part in that process.”
Ian Larkin, Co-Group CEO at Target Group says:
“Our strong performance over recent years is ultimately down to the development and investment in our people, proprietary software and infrastructure. We constantly demand excellence in all that we do and, with that in mind, we are rigorous and demanding of the people we partner with to help achieve our goals. The team at MRM has shown itself to have the depth of ability and experience across financial services and the enthusiasm to consistently deliver. The blend of senior talent we have access to means that we had no hesitation appointing MRM as our PR and communications consultancy.”
