SECTORS

We have a track record of supporting organisations like yours.

In 2017 we helped our clients source and manage over 45 million temporary worker hours across almost 7,000 unique job roles across the public and private sector.

Our current client base is extremely broad, reflecting both the power and the flexibility of our solutions. We partner with a wide variety of organisations from FTSE 100 businesses to NHS Trusts, charities to councils.

Whilst your organisational profile is important (it’s why we have different, tailored models for corporates, public services, health, care, third sector and educational establishments), the sector you operate in isn’t actually the factor that impacts whether we can make a difference to the way you approach your non-permanent workforce.

It also doesn’t matter whether your requirements are more blue collar or white collar focused, or whether you need a solution for your bank staff as opposed to your agency workers - or indeed both.

However, organisations that typically realise the greatest benefit from our services are those that spend £3million pounds plus per annum on non-permanent staffing.

"I would highly recommend the approach to any NHS Trust or healthcare operation with a high dependency on temporary staff, wishing to gain greater control, transparency and quality whilst ensuring best overall value."

Mark Duffy

Bridgewater Community Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust

"We feel like we’re benefiting from consultancy advice, better systems and processes that are making us more effective as an organisation, allowing us to use our resources really effectively."

Richard Hawkes

Scope

"The support I get through the arrangement we have lets me focus on other activities, knowing that my best interests are being looked after."

Helen Child

Thornbury Academy

"When temporary staff are required, they offer a simple and effective solution to ensure that partner agencies focus on delivering quality candidates rather than charging a premium to provide nursing staff."

Peter Russell

University Hospitals Bristol NHS Foundation Trust

"We wanted to do business with people we liked and trusted with a strong track record, and felt that they understood our unique requirements. In addition to this, they offered an intuitive technology solution, particularly in how we can better engage and manage our bank staff – which has been a key part of the project."

Becky Robson

Home Group

"We operate from over 190 locations throughout the UK and Northern Ireland and without their support, managing our temporary labour and ensuring legal compliance would be extremely difficult and costly. Instead we have complete control and visibility of our temporary labour, and can efficiently manage our spend."

Richard Childs

"The success of the partnership so far is a direct reflection of the processes/systems they have put in place, as well as the efforts the team have made to cater for each individual authority and their requirements. The team’s determination and enthusiasm for the contract to do well has been evident throughout."

Adam Smith

"We have effective management of our temporary labour, as well as the supplying agencies. We are able to consistently deliver the services required by our internal stakeholders. Our approach to continual improvement ensures we add value but also that we achieve significant savings."
