Two essential events are coming up for recruitment professionals looking to stay ahead of industry and regulatory change.
April 2027 may feel distant, but preparations for HMRC’s mandatory payrolling of Benefits in Kind should start now. Access is hosting a live webinar where employment tax specialist Emily James and Access Recruitment’s Darren Russell will explain the changes, highlight affected processes, discuss the first-year penalty easement, and share practical steps finance and payroll teams should take before implementation.
Also worth adding to your diary is the Marketing Summit 2026, hosted by Marmalade Marketing. The event will bring together recruitment marketing experts to share insights on branding, lead generation, business growth and effective marketing strategies. It’s an excellent opportunity for agency leaders and marketers to gain fresh ideas, practical advice and valuable industry connections.
