The Employment Agents Movement (TEAM) has appointed FPS Group as umbrella service provider to its 400-plus membership.

Fifty organisations bidded to join the eight-company panel of umbrella service providers.

Simon Last-Sutton, managing director of FPS Group, says: “This opportunity enables us to work with agencies we haven’t previously had the pleasure of working with before, and to show them that with more than 16 years’ experience we are one of the best governed and regulated businesses in this sector.”

Simon Garbett, chairman of TEAM, adds: “We were impressed with their [FPS Group’s] decision to undertake a detailed compliance audit with the chartered accountants, Saffery Champness, who assisted us in the decision-making process.
“We were also able to negotiate unique commercial terms with FPS that will significantly benefit our members.”
