Outsourcing, offshoring, nearshoring and insourcing – if any of these interest you, you’ve come to the right place.

The NOA is the UK’s only outsourcing trade association. Advocating best practice, the NOA represents outsourcing end users, vendors and other companies which support outsourcing, such as legal firms, consultancies and HR. The NOA is involved in research, events, education and public affairs. The vast quantity of information that the NOA has collected is referred to as the BOOK (the Body Of Outsourcing Knowledge).  

NOA Pathway

The NOA is proud to be pioneering the UK’s first academically accredited professional qualification in outsourcing.
