History

The company was founded by Richard Balfour-Lynn as a property development business under the name Warwick Balfour Properties plc in 1982. [2]

It adopted a new structure and the name Marylebone Warwick Balfour Group plc in 1994. [2] In 1997, it undertook a reverse takeover of Ex-Lands Properties plc and thereby secured a listing on the London Stock Exchange. [2] In 2008, it underwent a capital reorganisation, with a new holding company, MWB Group Holdings plc. [3]

After getting into financial difficulties, the company was put into administration in 2012. [4] [5] As of late 2015, together with MWB Management Services, and MWB Serviced Office Holdings, the company was recorded by Companies House as "in liquidation". [6] [7] Also as of late 2015, hospitality business magazine The Caterer listed MWG Group Holdings as "no longer trading". [8]

Operations

The Group's business interests included providing serviced office accommodation at offices in the UK through a 71.5% interest in MWB Business Exchange plc, the Malmaison and Hotel du Vin hotel chains, as well as the Liberty & Co. department store on Regent Street in the West End of London's shopping district.
