Simplify passes Professional Passport Audit

Simplify Umbrella are pleased to announce that we have recently passed the Professional Passport Audit and become an Approved Supplier.

The audit of our processes, compliance, structure and financial position was completed in October 2011 and included a full review of our AWR contracts and processes. 

Simplify are very pleased with the feedback that we have received as part of the audit process, which has commended us on our low risk strategy supported by our clearly documented policies and procedures.  We feel that this independent confirmation of what we already knew, adds credence to our already strong levels of customer service to our Contractors and commitment to work in partnership with Agencies, by showing the level of focus that we place internally on compliance.

Managing Director, Emma Hainsworth, said "This is a huge vindication of the importance that we place on Compliance and Customer Service here at Simplify.  The level of dedecation the whole team show is what makes us successful, and ensure that both our Contractors, and the Agencies we work with, receive a first class service."
