It is the first non-legal service provider to join since Ampa launched its ‘house of brands strategy’. It will see CSS Assure continue to trade under its existing brand across the UK and internationally.

Glasgow headquartered Ampa has confirmed current CSS Assure staff remain with the company, with no redundancies planned, and has put in place recruitment and growth plans.

CSS Assure officially began trading as part of the Ampa group from October 2021 – with teams working remotely across the UK and utilising the group’s office hubs for client development.
