2009 News - FPR merger with ATSCo to form APSCo

The Forum of Professional Recruiters was established in 1999 to present a joint response to the government’s consultation on regulation of the entire industry. Since then as a trade association made up of some of the leading companies in the professional recruitment sector, we have enjoyed regular audience with the DTI, ensuring the specific views of our Members are successfully represented. The Forum aims to be at the forefront of industry best practice, building a recognised stamp of quality, which will set members apart from competitors.

After 10 years of success, we are pleased to announce that the Forum is merging with ATSCo in January 2009, to form APSCo, the Association of Professional Staffing Companies.  At this time of economic uncertainty, detailed legislative landscape and many commercial challenges, we believe that one consolidated trade association representing the needs of the whole professional recruitment sector is the way forward.  The combined body will consist of some 150 member firms.

Please feel free to contact me on 020 7786 6495, or the Forum’s secretary, Leslie Walters on 020 8349 4040 for more information or take a look at APSCO’s website www.apsco.org for information on how to join the merged association.
