Appointments: Consumer Credit Compliance, Creative Marketing Systems

HARROGATE firm Consumer Credit Compliance has hired three new members of staff only a year after launching.

CCC was launched by Ian Beardmore last year. It has now boosted its ranks with the appointment of Bridget Spence and Angela Sansom as senior client engagement managers, and Rachael Doyle as a compliance account manager.

The firm is now working with around 400 businesses.

Mr Beardmore, who started the business with IT expert David Petty, said: “There are tens-of-thousands of companies requiring FCA permission, and, for many, the task is too time consuming and complicated to manage on their own, hence them turning to us.

“From it being just David and me, CCC now boasts a 16 strong team, and, because business is booming, it won’t be long before we are recruiting again.

“We are being inundated by requests for our specialist services from firms the length and breadth of the UK. These range from sole traders to multi-nationals and they come from every industry that offers credit terms.”

Mr Beardmore added: “I’m delighted to welcome Bridget, Angela and Rachael to the team, which has grown like topsy over the last six months.

“In addition to servicing our existing clients, we also need to ensure we can look after the compliance needs of new business as it arrives through the door, hence these three appointments.

“And, in order to accommodate our growing workforce, we have expanded into two offices within Windsor House. This will give us the flexibility we need to comfortably increase the CCC team without the worry of looking for a new base.”
