The Letting Partnership

The Client Money HealthCheck was developed as part of The Letting Partnership’s ongoing mission to raise industry standards. The proprietary web-based system and analytical programme, launched in 2014, has been designed to automatically identify irregularities and discrepancies in client money handling and areas of non-compliance. It protects the funds of landlords and tenants and removes the need for on-site accountant audits. The Letting Partnership’s Managing Director, Jennifer Markham, says: “Today, 13 million people live in private rented accommodation and over half of them pay their rent to letting agents. Putting aside tenant deposits, at an average rent of £1050 a month, that’s a lot of money being handed over to agents by tenants.” Client Money HealthChecks are recognised and accepted by leading insurance providers as a convenient alternative to traditional accountant’s reports. They are used by agents of all sizes nationwide, putting The Letting Partnership at the forefront of industry innovation. With a team of specialist advisors, and a background working in the letting industry, the company understands agents’ needs from the ground up. In addition to the Client Money HealthCheck, it also provides outstanding outsourced client accounting and ancillary services

to independent letting agents across the UK. Since it was founded in 2006, The Letting Partnership has been freeing lettings agents from the risks and complexities of client accounting and client money protection and is the only client accounting service provider to be accredited by ARLA Propertymark.

Medical Research Network

Medical Research Network (MRN) received the Queen’s Award for International Trade from the Lord Lieutenant of Buckinghamshire, Countess Howe, at its annual company meeting. This was the perfect opportunity to celebrate, as this is when the company celebrates all its achievements of the past year and discusses its plans for the future. The Countess made an excellent speech, delivered with passion, expressing the value of meeting patients’ needs within clinical research to enable the industry to deliver innovative new medicines to the market faster. To date, MRN’s models estimate it has helped its customers generate over 55 million more days of use of their medications by getting drugs to the market faster, with an unmeasurable impact on the health of those patients,

for a business that helps to drive brand awareness in times of uncertainty. Because MRN’s services only just scratch the surface of pharmaceutical R&D at present, and in response to the changing dynamics of the market and research environment, it is diversifying to expand its impact and fuel its mid- and long-term growth. The company is adopting more technology and building new services, allowing it to run even more efficient trials in the patient’s own community. It will continue to make participation easier for patients and speed up bringing new and innovative medicines to the market. In conjunction, MRN will continue to promote engagement in its people to meet the demands of customers, the patients they serve, and its teams who support them all. MRN will continue to innovate and grow the behaviours that led to the Queen’s Award, respecting Her Late Majesty’s memory for years to come.
