    Totally agree. It was the crap messaging that irritated, not the content.

    Come to that, no need for a CEO to advertise a rival company is there?

    Whilst I’ll grant that FCSA may not be everyone’s cup of tea (and were certainly and Aunt Sally for some) there are only two accreditation bodies in the umbrella world that count. One is us, the other I’m not giving free advertising to.

    The logo's on there have simply been swiped off the internet - I know of many on there that have not agreed to it

    Could there be a link?
    You might think so, I couldn’t possibly comment.
    I was wondering why fairpay randomly appeared on the list of umbrellas they had “certified” with but reading the react thread it makes sense- I said fairpay were cheap and honest so they added it to the ones they added to the page

    Nope - but the director’s name rings a bell.

    can’t look this week as I have things on but I’ll try to delve into why the name is familiar

    equally there is not a chance in hell some (fairpay, parasol, paystream) of the listed umbrella’s are members for reasons I can’t disclose here

    started a topic Does anyone know anything about the PPSA?

    Does anyone know anything about the PPSA?

    I've just been doing a bit of digging and noticed the company logos on their members page.
    https://www.theppsa.co.uk/Home/DirectoryOfMembers.html

    Any stand out?
    Anyone know anything about PPSA?

    A bit like the IFCP.
