Quill launches dedicated outsourced payroll website
Outsourced payroll and cashiering supplier, Quill Pinpoint, has launched a new dedicated payroll website, which it says is in direct response to increased demand for its payroll services after the introduction of complex legislation. Pension reforms and changes to shared parental leave and national insurance for the under 21’s mean some firms are struggling to keep up, leaving them open to fines of up to £50,000. Quill’s managing director, Julian Bryan, said: “Quill Payroll site has been created to better handle the higher volumes of web surfers sourcing payroll outsourcing services amid growing pressures to comply with industry regulators whose guidelines have altered substantially over the course of the last few years.” www.quillpayroll.co.uk

Landmark Information Group signs partnership with Experian
Landmark Information Group has entered a partnership with Experian, the leading global information services company.

Jo Buxton, general manager, insurance from Experian said: “With billions of pounds of financial assets lying unclaimed, and UK consumers managing more financial services online, it is getting harder to find records of their lost or forgotten assets. The UAR holds nearly five million records of individuals who have unclaimed monies and is invaluable in helping people locate these lost assets and putting probate professionals in touch with financial providers to reclaim clients’ money. By working together with Landmark Information Group, integrating the UAR into its Landmark FAS service, we are providing a quick and easy way to identify potential assets, from one simple online order.” www.landmarkfas.co.uk
