We’re really pleased to have gone live with a new service to support The Insolvency Service in recovering money for the benefit of creditors and the UK taxpayer. The contract was awarded through the Crown Commercial Service Debt Resolution Services (DRS) framework and is delivered by Sopra Steria Financial Services alongside our strategic partner, QUALCO UK. Craig Wilson, Managing Director of Private Sector at Sopra Steria, said: “By returning more money to the public purse we’re helping the Insolvency Service to continue its vital work supporting vulnerable employees and other companies in the wider ecosystem.” Georgina Maskell, Deputy Chief Operating Officer at the Insolvency Service, said: “This new partnership will mean that the Insolvency Service can continue to support those in financial distress and optimise returns to creditors. We look forward to working with Sopra Steria and their partners in the coming years.” Read more about our new partnership: https://lnkd.in/d5uBSv-4 Image description: white background with an image of Craig Wilson to the left.
