The two companies trade as one entity, under the name ‘Mercer Group’. Often staff employed by the Company would complete tasks for the benefit of MBL and vice versa. Both the Company and MBL are awarded separate contracts in their own rights however the operational aspects of the contracts would be compieted by the Company rather than MBL.
