If you are considering going on the shared services journey, you should speak with Manny and the team at SSA. Brentwood Borough Council and Rochford District Council were considering a unique strategic partnership for shared resources and services in 2021 and having the support of Manny and his team helped establish the objectives and the foundations of our unique One Team partnership. Without this support the partnership would not be where it is today.

We have a long-standing relationship with SSA and many of our staff have been trained as shared service practitioners. Our senior leadership team have also completed the collaborative leadership programme and we have used SSA's insights and expertise on a number of shared services projects.
