Education organisation LSN has acquired FE Associates, a supplier of interim staff to the further education sector.

LSN says the alliance is a key development in its strategy to grow and offer services directly to colleges.

John Stone, LSN chief executive, says: “LSN has established a reputation for solving our client’s most difficult problems. Many of these involve the selection of the right managers to fulfil challenging roles.

“The acquisition of FE Associates will enable LSN to provide an improved set of services to the education sector that will help it access the right people, expertise and skills to support its continued success.”
