Managing director Janine Glasspole confirmed the decision to wind the company down on Friday 30 July in an emotional and heartfelt post on LinkedIn on Thursday (15 July).
"It has been a wonderful journey made successful thanks to your support, which has given me and the team lifelong friendships we will cherish and be forever grateful for," said Glasspole.
"As you can imagine, I have not taken this decision lightly, as GP Associates has been my life and my family for so many years. During this time, it has been an honour and privilege to represent some of the world’s most iconic independent luxury hotels.
