Insurance Transformation & Innovation

“We used The S&A Group to replace a critical 'top4' project team of over 40 people. Our incumbent supplier had become complacent with costs simply;y going up and up. They thought we had no alternative, but we found an excellent one.”

CIO, UK Insurance Company

Global Transformation Programme Recovery

“We had a failing transformation programme which needed a whole new delivery plan, governance model and new leadership. Having previously used a large outsourcer, we turned to The S&A Group to provide a service much more focused on our needs. We couldn't have made a better choice!"

Transformation Director, Global Healthcare Company

IR35 & Flexible Workforce Solutions

“With IR35 confusing everyone in our organisation, from FD to HR and Procurement Directors we engaged The S&A Group to design and provide a total solution for our ad-hoc projects and flexible workforce. They take care or all our inside-IR35 projects and inside-IR35 contractors via their Resource Solutions business. We don't have to think anymore.

COO, Financial Services
