We have established ourselves as a quality-driven recruitment partner, thanks to our reputation for setting the highest standards in service excellence.
This is reflected by our accreditations, memberships, awards and affiliations:
ISO 9001:2015 Certification – The internationally recognised standard for quality management
Following an in-depth assessment of our internal process and customer interfaces, we became the first recruitment agency operating exclusively in the asset finance and leasing niche to be awarded certification to the international quality standard ISO 9001.
Achieving certification to this important standard is testament to the strategic framework we have in place to ensure our customers receive the best possible service.
Our focus through monitored and effective operational reviews ensures we always deliver the professional service our clients and candidates expect.
Our Quality Policy is available on request.
REC Membership – The Recruitment and Employment Confederation
We became the first recruitment agency operating exclusively in the niche asset finance and leasing sector to become a full member of the Recruitment and Employment Confederation (REC).
The REC represents the recruitment industry within the UK and mainland Europe, promoting standards, adherence to legislation and providing professional development through training and qualification.
Membership requires that our values reflect the REC guidelines and the REC Code of Professional Practice.
Furthermore, as an REC Audited member, we have undergone a robust non-sector specific audit to validate our compliance with industry legislation and best practice in areas such as customer service, staff development, diversity and client management.
Membership also provides the opportunity to participate actively in discussions regarding recruitment and employment issues to stay fully informed of current trends and legislation.

FSQS Accredited - Financial Services Qualification System
FSQS certification is a benchmark used by major UK banks and financial institutions when vetting and selecting suppliers.
As the regulated environment in the financial sector becomes more complex, FSQS accreditation provides a mechanism for collecting and managing supplier compliance information.
Successfully attaining registered status on the FSQS supplier qualification system forms part of our ongoing commitment to our Financial Services clients.
Our registration status means we’ve undertaken a rigorous audit process to embed the necessary systems and controls required by such clients and our information is now available to them for review by their procurement teams.
This demonstrates our commitment to excellence in all areas of compliance, as well as providing further proof that we are a trusted supplier in the financial sector.
The Prompt Payment Code (PPC)
The Prompt Payment Code (PPC) sets standards for payment practices and best practice and is administered by the Small Business Commissioner on behalf of the Department for Business and Trade (DBT). The Code covers prompt payment, as well as wider payment procedures.
The Small Business Commissioner is responsible for regulation and governance of the Prompt Payment Code and signatories of the Code. She has the power to determine which companies become signatories and investigate complaints concerning any signatories.
