Due to its success and the need to provide services to a wider breadth of organisations, the Members formed Barcud Shared Services Limited, which was incorporated on the 2nd of August 2019. It is overseen by a Board made up of the Company’s Members and is open to new Members. Barcud Shared Services offers its members the following Shared Services: · Internal Audit services; · Training; · Consultancy and critical friend support; and · Procurement support.
