MARM is the self-management company for the following residences on Memorial Avenue, E15, which are situated near to West Ham Station and are known as the Development.
This website is for both the lessees and residents of Memorial Avenue and aims to be your first port of call for management information and to report any issues concerning the Development.
There are currently five directors on the Board who are ultimately responsible for the management of MARM. The Estate Manager, Nikki Willett AICB, undertakes the day-to-day running of the Development. MARM engages two consultants to assist in the business of MARM who report directly to the Board of Directors on a regular basis.
The aim of this website is to allow easy access to the team involved in the day to day running of the Development and to answer some of the regular questions posed by residents and lessees. In addition to this service we have teamed up with some local providers to give you easy access to their services.
