The Association of Technology Staffing Companies (ATSCo) has revealed European expansion plans.

The association’s European Forum, which will meet every two months, aims to help staff companies to expand across Europe and understand the economic, legislative and business issues of the region.

It has also taken on its first two overseas members, Netherlands-based Personality IT and Configure IT.

Chief executive Ann Swain says: “It was felt that there was a growing need for ATSCo, which knows the UK market inside out, to broaden its remit to cover European markets, which account for a growing percentage of members’ turnover.”
