Insolvency Support Services is 15
We are incredibly proud to be celebrating Insolvency Support Services’ 15th anniversary this year. It is a significant milestone for any business and even more so as an SME that survived the pandemic of 2020.
We could not have reached our 15th birthday without the support, collaboration and encouragement of many people and organisations over the years. Many thanks to all our talented team members, present and past, for your hard work and commitment to the business and to our loyal clients for choosing and supporting us, and allowing us to become part of your team. We enjoy working with you.
Thanks too to the many others in various organisations, with whom we have partnered over the years, for your expertise and custom. A special mention to the IPA, ICAS, AiB, ICAEW and EIDG, and the Universities of Glasgow and Aberdeen, with whom we have been delighted to work in a range of mutually beneficial ways.
Reflecting on our journey so far, our core services (ISS Training, ISS Compliance, ISS Outsourcing and ISS Practice Support) and our main client groups (insolvency professionals and practices, law firms, accountancy firms, banks, professional bodies and government organisations) remain the same as when we started out.
However, it is also clear there has been much change too, including the development of new services and training streams, many new client relationships, additional in-person training locations, the pivot to online training during Covid, increased remote working by our team, several new collaborative partnerships, and many sponsorships and speaking opportunities.
We very much appreciate the relationship our business has with you and thank you for your support over the last 15 years. We are part of a wonderful profession and are proud to support you all.
We hope that you continue to support us and look forward to working with you in the coming years.
