Mark Fairweather, Managing Director of MRI Africa said “In the face of global economic uncertainty and the financial pressures created by widespread inflation, it’s more important than ever to have accurate, detailed tenant profiles to support decision-making. TPN is recognized as the most comprehensive authority on tenant behavior in the region, and we are exceptionally excited to welcome them to the MRI family. We share many clients with TPN, and this combination will enable us to enhance the value we deliver – providing deeper insights, centralizing typically disparate processes, and enabling organizational compliance. We look forward to continuing to expand our offerings in the South African market.”
