Strategic UK–Singapore Alliance Signals New Era in Global Real Estate Investment

 MRP Premier Group partners with Auspac Investment Management Pte Ltd to connect capital, capability and opportunity across Asia, the Middle East and the UK

LONDON & SINGAPORE – 14th July 2025

In a move that strengthens commercial ties between two of the world’s leading financial centres, London-based MRP Premier Group and Singapore’s Auspac Investment Management (AIM) have announced a strategic partnership designed to reshape global real estate investment flows.

The alliance brings together MRP Premier Group’s expertise in UK real estate advisory, spanning development, investment, and regeneration, with Auspac’s financial acumen and regional insight across the Far East. The result is a vertically integrated platform that makes it easier for high-net-worth individuals, family offices and institutional investors to access high-quality, often off-market, real estate opportunities.

“This partnership connects London and Singapore in a way that unlocks smarter, faster, more strategic investment, ” said Mohammed Parekh, CEO & Founder of MRP Premier Group.

“Auspac’s capabilities across Asia are a powerful complement to our real estate advisory in the UK, Far East and Middle East. Together, we can offer clients global reach with local precision, bridging markets and delivering value across borders.”

The collaboration will allow both firms to expand their global offering while remaining grounded in the regional expertise that defines them. With investors increasingly seeking stable, strategically located assets, particularly in mature markets such as the UK, this partnership delivers a joined-up approach to sourcing, structuring, and executing deals internationally.

James Yeo Shan Yuan, CEO of Auspac Investment Management, added: “Our clients are looking beyond domestic markets and seeking access to resilient, high-quality assets around the world. MRP’s real estate insight and trusted network across the UK and Middle East make them a natural partner for Auspac. We’re excited by what this alliance enables, not just for our firms, but for the investors we serve."

This strategic UK–Singapore alignment also reinforces the growing importance of cross-border cooperation in real estate and finance, connecting capital with opportunity at a global scale.

Changemakers Gather at Impact Happy Hours to Discuss the Wellbeing of Filipino Parents and Families

 

On July 2 at Shangri-La Plaza, changemakers gathered for Impact Happy Hours, a community event co-hosted by Villgro Philippines, xchange, and Ashoka Philippines. The evening featured the Good Start Challenge, which will support and fund bold ideas improving parental and caregiver wellbeing. Social entrepreneurs shared local solutions from human milk banks to digital mom communities. Applications for the challenge are open until September 17, with funding of up to €200,000. Learn more at goodstart.challenges.org.

Changemakers from various backgrounds and sectors gathered at Impact Happy Hours last July 2, at Refinery, Shangri-La Plaza Mall. The event has been running since 2017 and has been a community space for individuals and organizations interested in social impact to connect and collaborate. Impact Happy Hours’ main organizers are entrepreneur support organizations Villgro Philippines, xchange, and Ashoka Philippines, but the event has also been co-hosted with different partner organizations who have designed several ways to facilitate connections between attendees. The featured partner of last night’s event was the Good Start Challenge.

Attendees of Impact Happy Hours were invited to reflect on modern parenting, wellbeing, and caregiving within the family. “How difficult is it to get on a crowded city bus with a baby—and how many other challenges do parents face in daily life? We need to ask: can we redesign systems, services, and infrastructures for the wellbeing of parents and caregivers?” said Kathy Nothstine from Challenge Works, one of the implementing partners of the Good Start Challenge.

“We’re excited about the huge opportunities in the Philippines—especially with the growing digital economy, the rise of technology and innovation, and the potential to tap into indigenous solutions that can create more sustainable, lasting impact. At the same time, we are aware of the complex challenges Filipino parents face—from the increasing risks of climate-related disasters to high rates of teenage pregnancy—issues that disproportionately affect women and families in vulnerable communities,” Kathy added, highlighting why the Philippines is one of the eligible countries for the challenge.

The Good Start Challenge will support up to 22 finalists globally to develop their solution with €50,000 in funding and a package of non-financial support. Organizations that are addressing the wellbeing of caregivers from pregnancy and the first years of parenthood, are meeting the needs of underserved and marginalized communities, and have demonstrated effectiveness and are ready to take the next steps towards scaling are invited to apply. 

At the end, up to six winners will receive €200,000 and the opportunity to showcase in front of prospective funders and partners. Entries are now open from 22 May 2025 to 17 September 2025, 1pm (UTC). Full details are available at https://goodstart.challenges.org/ 

The Good Start Challenge was made possible by the Van Leer Foundation, FEMSA Foundation, Fundação Maria Cecilia Souto Vidigal, LEGO Foundation and Challenge Works. 

The opening remarks were followed by a panel of three social entrepreneurs, namely Nadine Angelica Gadia Casiño (ALIMA Mother Support Center), JM Dioso (Project Payatas PH), and MK Bertulfo (FH Moms) who shared their real stories and insights of systems-level solutions that center parental wellbeing. 

“Aside from the lack of opportunities and education, one thing that I wanted to emphasize is that a lot of moms already have access to equipment and the experience but they lack the confidence,” said MK Bertulfo of FH Moms, speaking on the barriers women face.

Adding to the discussion on maternal challenges and care systems, Nadine Angelica Gadia Casiño of ALIMA Mother Support Center shared, “There are daycare centers, there are schools, but where are the spaces for moms?”

“We partnered with local government units to establish the first-ever city human milk bank and lactation support center—not just a pasteurizing facility, but a space where mothers receive skilled, individualized breastfeeding support… If we can create more breastfeeding clinics and mother support centers, then mothers will know where to go and I think collaboration is key for us to make that happen.”

The panelists’ stories and perspectives offered a glimpse into what’s possible when community-led solutions are given the support to grow. These served as a call to action for entrepreneurs with bold ideas to join the Good Start Challenge and scale their impact for parents and caregivers who need it most.
