SeeSaw

Since 2011 The MGroup has supported local Oxford charity SeeSaw which provides grief support to children and their families both before and after a major bereavement.

Described as ”the great little charity with the big heart”, SeeSaw depends on the generosity of individuals and organisations to support their services. One third of bereaved children can experience severe difficulties coming to terms with the death of a close family member. SeeSaw supports children at this critical time, so that they can move forward and face the future with hope. SeeSaw’s service includes tailored grief support for children, guidance and support to families, advice and training to professionals and accessible literature and resources. For more details visit their website www.seesaw.org.uk

The MGroup team have taken part in sponsored walks, Dragon Boat Racing and abseiling to find ways to show our deep appreciation and support for this fantastic charity.

“As the Director of SeeSaw I am hugely grateful to the MGroup for your continued support. Your friendly and enthusiastic staff have raised much needed funds by taking part in dragon boat racing, an abseil, sponsored walk and they have entered teams in the Oxford Half Marathon. By generously sponsoring SeeSaw’s membership of the Thames Valley Chamber of Commerce you enable us to engage with other businesses in Oxfordshire”. Helen Mackinnon – Director

Annually we take part in the Oxford Half Marathon on their behalf. This year’s team comprises ex-Oxford United footballer Steve Basham, John Ayres, J-P Cleaver, Max Hazell and new recruit Ollie Butt. Each are trying to raise at least £250 towards this worthy cause.

The run, covering 13.1 miles of stunning Oxford buildings and beauty spots, is on a Sunday in October every year, starting at 9.30am. It starts in Broad Street and, via many roads in between, heads up and down Banbury Road and Marston Ferry Road (with a lap around Marston thrown in) before meandering its way through the University Parks, round the Radcliffe Camera, and ending up back at Broad Street.

Our team put in a fantastic effort with finishing times below:

Max – 2:09:27
Steve – 1:42:32
John – 1:39:36
J-P – 1:56:48
Ollie – 1:50:50

TESTIMONIALS

“Without a doubt, I recommend speaking with The MGroup. They are very knowledgeable, very understanding, have a good feel for our business and accommodate us quickly when we need help. We frequently get approaches from other accountancy firms and I tell them that we have no need to look elsewhere as everything is catered for very efficiently by Peter Smith and his team. I couldn't fault them."

Peter Mace, Managing Director, TT Concrete

“We have been working with The MGroup for over ten years and have formed an excellent working relationship where both parties enjoy the benefits of each other’s expertise. We have always found The MGroup’s staff to be professional, courteous and attentive and would not hesitate to recommend their services.”

R Rosser, Chief Executive The In Oxford Group

“Fortunately, when we were ready to expand our company to the UK we were referred to The MGroup. As a North America based enterprise we had little knowledge of UK business and tax matters. The MGroup helped us with everything from compliance and payroll regulations to establishing a banking relationship. The staff members are very responsive and we continue to rely on their support as our UK operations grow.”

Laurie Diaz, V.P. Corporate Controller, Yardi Systems

“Mark has given me excellent Corporate Finance advice and support for 3 years and I would thoroughly recommend him. He is very tenacious in finding suitable companies to acquire and then good at negotiating and putting deals together, including the all important funding. He is also very innovative in finding solutions to issues arising along the way.”

Mark Swaby is a Management Buy In client

“I used The MGroup for the first time to buy another Drainage Company to add services & coverage to my own. Mark and his team give a top rate service from start to end and we achieved the purchase within 5 months – good honest, knowledgeable advice from people who know their stuff.”

Paul Marshall, Unbloc

“The entire, sometimes daunting, process ran on rails from concept to completion thanks to the professionalism of The MGroup.”

Stewart Betts, Director, Houlihan & Co Ltd

“We moved to The MGroup as our business had grown from a small to medium sized one and we needed more comprehensive support on all accountancy matters and detailed support with our SAGE systems. We have been really pleased with the service we have received from The MGroup and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to other businesses looking for an all round accountancy service.”

Sarah Steel, The Old Station Nursery Ltd
