About Us

Impact OCCS Ltd can provide solutions to all credit control and debt collection issues faced by small, medium and large enterprises.

There's an old saying that cash is king and businesses are finding it increasingly difficult to ensure the timely receipt of monies owed as the recession continues.

We predict that there are a huge number of businesses, hitherto unaffected by slow and non-payers, who are ill prepared to chase their money.

Impact can provide a tailored credit control function to small and medium enterprises at a fraction of the cost of employing an in-house resource. Alternatively, we can enhance an existing credit control team, taking the strain of an increased workload and protecting the integrity of the in-house team. We can set up new systems, advise on improving existing systems. We can offer training to the in house team.

We apply our olive branch approach to debt collection. We find the conciliatory approach is simply more effective more quickly more often than the traditional 'big stick' approach of debt collection. We're not naïve enough to think this holds true in every case though, so where a more traditional collection process is required, we can switch to this.

The business was started by Iain Mackay. Iain graduated in Law from Manchester University in 1984. He then spent the next ten years training as an accountant in the City of London, passing Certified Accountancy exams and gaining experience and insight into a number of different industries.

Iain has held Company Accountant and Business Support Manager positions where he has set up and operated credit control departments.

He has also run a number of his own businesses and so has personal experience of the struggle to secure cash flow and protect the business from bad debt whilst making sales and developing the business. This ensures his approach is grounded and realistic.

Iain is supported by qualified and experienced staff managed by Robert Smyth. Robert graduated in European Administration from University of Humberside and has gone on to gain further accountancy and credit management qualifications.

All of our employees have extensive credit control and debt collection experience, but we look primarily for an exceptional customer service record in building the team.

We are always interested to hear from people with this background who'd like to join the team.
