Innospec signs five year outsourced payroll contract with MidlandHR

Nottingham, 30th October 2008 – International specialty chemicals company, Innospec, has signed a five year outsourced payroll contract with MidlandHR. The payroll and HR specialist software provider will assume responsibility of the twice-monthly payroll for Innospec’s 370 strong staff across three UK locations.

Steve Kitcher, Human Resources Manager at Innospec, said: “Faced with the news that our incumbent supplier was to discontinue support for our current system after March 2009, we moved quickly to find a new partner.

“Having shortlisted three companies, we felt that the MidlandHR team had prepared thoroughly. Furthermore, they had a very flexible approach which built our confidence that the team would deliver a quality, cost efficient fully managed payroll service within our set delivery timeframe,” concludes Kitcher.

Commenting on the contract signing, Lawrence Knowles, managing director at MidlandHR said, “Payroll is a very dynamic environment – highly legislated with the rules changing all the time. Having been entrusted with Innospec’s UK payrolls, the organisation can now look forward to spending their time more strategically on other HR issues, rather than trying to keep up with new legislation.”
