Avencia is proud to be a founding member of APSCo Outsource, a newly launched trade body by APSCo, for the Talent Solutions Outsourcing sector.

 

Led by Melanie Forbes (Managing Director, APSCo Global), APSCo Outsource marks a momentous occasion for outsourcing service providers. The new trade body will provide the MSP, RPO, and Outsourcing industry with a collective voice to lobby the government on the impact of legislation and policy and a place of peer-to-peer support and knowledge sharing, driving best in class practice across the sector.

 

Chris Buckingham (Co-Founder of Avencia) comments:

"The launch of APSCo Outsource is a significant milestone for talent solutions outsourcing and clients. To now have a trade body under Melanie's leadership that understands the distinction from staffing at a time when the talent acquisition needs of clients have become ever more complex and when the value of partnership has never been more important".
