CLAPHAM — Midos Management Co has collected at least £43 million on behalf of landlords providing temporary accommodation to Lambeth Council since 2019, according to council records. The company matches local authorities with private landlords and arranges leases for housing homeless individuals.

Midos Management Co is owned by Elizabeth and Jacob Endzweig, according to Companies House filings. Elizabeth Endzweig stated there was “no relationship whatsoever” between Midos Management Co and Midos Group, adding that the name was chosen “solely on the basis of preference.” Lawyers for Midos Group also stated there was “no operational, financial or managerial connection” between the two entities.

Public records indicate familial and business ties between the parties. Elizabeth Endzweig is the daughter of David and Miriam Schreiber, and Miriam Schreiber owns Midos Group (UK) Limited. Elizabeth Endzweig is a co-director of at least four businesses alongside either her mother or another Midos Group director and holds shares in a company with her mother. All operate from an address in Stamford Hill, north London, shared with Midos Group and over 300 other businesses.

An archived version of Midos Management Co’s website previously stated that “Midos Group is proud to offer our wealth of experience in successfully procuring accommodation.” The webpage appears to have been edited after questions arose about the relationship between the companies. Elizabeth Endzweig said: “Any familial relationship is entirely irrelevant and does not, and cannot, give rise to any inference of business association, control, participation, or knowledge of the affairs of any other entity.”

The scrutiny stems in part from a separate business rates avoidance scheme linked to Midos Group. Companies connected to the group allegedly exploited a loophole by claiming empty commercial properties were used for religious worship, saving landlords at least £18 million, according to property consultancy Verity. In Dover, Discovery Park Limited and DP East Limited—owned by Brooklee Limited, which is controlled by four Schreiber family members—are being pursued for £1.7 million in unpaid business rates. Court documents allege the companies falsely claimed 56 empty units hosted prayer sessions, with evidence limited to a posted notice, minimal furniture, and brief video recordings. The claim states there is “no evidence of any member of the public ever attending any such service at any unit at any time despite requests for such evidence.” Defendants assert the sessions occurred and the arrangement was lawful.

A former pub in Clapham, the Duke of York, owned by David Schreiber, displayed a notice in April advertising its use for prayer sessions. Lawyers for Midos Group said the space was leased to a faith group and that Midos was “aware of various uses and sessions by the faith group.”
