The firms were suspended after persistently failing to meet the Board’s compliance requirements.
The firm’s details have been removed from the PCCB Register but may be reinstated at a later date if it submits to a further inspection and responds well to it.
Richard Footitt, chairman of the PCCB said: “This action demonstrates that the PCCB will not hesitate to act where it finds instances of non-compliance. In the consumer interest, we are determined to uphold the integrity of the HIP and Search Codes of Practice which are the best guarantee of quality and value for money in a difficult market. The PCCB expects nothing less than fully compliant practice from Code signatories.”
