Frequently asked questions

What is Quest?

Quest is a national HR, health and safety, training and consultancy service provider that supports more than 80,000 organisations. With more than 30 years of experience, Quest is recommended by the British Chambers of Commerce and the Trade Association Forum.

How can unlimited access be free? What’s the catch?

There is no catch. The service is free at point of use, but it’s available because BPCA pays Quest a fee to provide the service.

I have internal resources – do I need BPCA Quest?

These services can be used to support your in-house specialist via documents and advice. Book a one-to-one discovery meeting to show them the value of the service.

We outsource our HR and H&S – do we need BPCA Quest?

Using BPCA Quest could save you a lot of money. If you outsource HR or H&S, you may not need to pay for an external resource. Book a one-to-one discovery meeting with a Quest Business Support Manager, who will be able to advise further.

Is BPCA Quest confidential? Does BPCA know what advice we request?

Any conversation you have with the expert advisers at BPCA Quest is entirely confidential. Quest will never report back to BPCA on specific member enquiries or support. All BPCA sees is generic usage data of the benefit, not specific member enquiries.

What happened to BPCA BusinessShield? 

BPCA Quest replaces BPCA BusinessShield, which provided HR, health and safety information and documents for members. We’re confident that BPCA Quest provides far better value for BPCA members, given that we can now offer legal and tax advice, plus a more comprehensive library of documents.
