FSQS provides Proteus with a stronger, more precise, and fully compliant service
Joining the FSQS community has proven to be a valuable experience, providing access to a broad network and a range of new opportunities.
Who are Proteus?
Proteus has extensive experience delivering solutions for clients in the financial services industry, from internal and external marketing to pension and shareholder communications. They offer services across strategy, creative, digital, and advertising, whether it’s a brand refresh, a fully integrated campaign, website build, adverts, single-channel solutions or the delivery of bespoke digital content on platforms such as SharePoint, Jive, and WordPress, ensuring their customers online presence is effective and efficient.
Being part of the FSQS community allows Proteus to connect with FSQS members, showcase their expertise, and reinforce the trust their clients place in them. This exposure has expanded their business opportunities.
Before joining FSQS, securing new business opportunities with FS buyers was difficult
This was due to the varying procurement procedures and individual requirements of member procurement teams.
FSQS has helped Proteus ensure that their work practices meet high compliance standards. Hellios' audits provided valuable insights into how they can improve their processes. As a result, the communications they create for their financial services clients are stronger, more targeted, and fully compliant with industry regulations.
FSQS has given Proteus the opportunity to present their profile to other financial institutions
Therefore, potentially opening doors for future business.
As a compliance and regulation framework, FSQS ensures financial services firms adhere to industry standards and legal requirements. Proteus demonstrates to clients and prospective clients that they operate responsibly and ethically. This was a challenge that was difficult to quantify before, but FSQS has made it measurable and clear.
How Proteus is able to benefit
Enhanced Compliance
FSQS provides a comprehensive regulatory framework, helping them avoid costly penalties and protecting their reputation by ensuring adherence to financial services regulations.
Improved Risk Management
FSQS helps them strengthen their risk management practices by identifying and addressing potential risks, which in turn protects their financial stability.
Increased Efficiency
The FSQS system streamlines their compliance processes, reducing the time and resources needed to meet those requirements, allowing staff to focus on core business activities.
Their experience with Hellios' Customer Support team has been excellent. The team assisted with networking events, promoted their work to buyers, kept them updated on policy changes, and communicated about new buyers. Their support during onboarding and questionnaire completion was invaluable, ensuring full readiness to meet platform standards.

"Having personally been involved since joining in 2015, I’ve had a very positive experience dealing with Hellios as have my team.
One of the main benefits of being registered is the exposure Proteus gains within this community. We wouldn’t be able to gain new business in this sector if it wasn’t for our FSQS registration.
I can thoroughly recommend Hellios as a well-run organisation."
