“Congratulations on a thorough and insightful survey. It fills in something of a gap in coverage of the numerous publications from the large firms in the remuneration consulting space.”
– Alan Giles, Chairman, Remuneration Consultants Group
“We contacted MM&K to set up an EMI Scheme for our employees. MM&K supported us every step of the way and explained all of the options that were available to us. They are clearly experts at what they do and they navigated us through the whole process from beginning to end. JD has been a huge support in re-writing documents that were needed and in helping us with communications to the rest of our business. We are very grateful to him and his team for the extra work and time they put into getting this project completed for us. ”
– London-based recruitment consultancy
“I was recommended to MM&K by an old colleague as the leading remuneration advisers in London with a detailed understanding of and experience with the design of remuneration structures in the alternative investment management arena.
I needed help with the introduction and detailed design of a carried interest plan for my team of investment professionals in a mid-market private equity fund management house that my business is heavily invested in. I certainly found them very knowledgeable, impressively responsive and tremendously helpful in guiding me through the various different structures and mechanisms that are typically used in carried interest plan arrangements.”
– CEO of UK based Family Office
“When we needed to review our remuneration arrangements, we spoke with a number of potential advisers but MMK stood out with their detailed understanding of and experience with the design of remuneration policies in private equity fund management businesses.
As a premium listed company on the London Stock Exchange, we needed comprehensive advice from a firm that understood both the corporate governance requirements for a fully listed company as well as the design of remuneration structures and policies in PE fund management businesses. We needed advice on salary levels, bonus plan metrics and LTIP design.
We found that MM&K had a detailed knowledge of the PE industry and its remuneration structures. They also understood the requirements that we needed to comply with as a fully listed company. They were diligent in their market research and advice and efficient in steering us through this important journey including helping support our shareholder consultations. We have ended up with accomplished remuneration arrangements that were approved by our shareholders.”
– Graham Stedman, Remuneration Committee Chair of LMS Capital plc
“MM&K are that rare breed, people who actually take the time to understand the business and give executive remuneration advice which is practical, commercial and eminently sensible from the start.”
– Simon Bennett, Founding Partner, Incremental Capital LLP
“With a complex transaction ahead of us, as chairman of a new venture, I knew of MM&K by reputation and over months of twists and turns, their combination of commercial experience and insight, pragmatism and client focus were exceptional. A delight to work with. ”
– Rupert McNeil, start-up chairman
“MM&K helped us design and implement a cash-settled executive long-term incentive scheme. The new scheme is clearly understood by the senior executive team and is proving motivational. All that we needed.”
– John Dodds, Remuneration Committee Chair, Newbury Racecourse plc
