The Racing Post Group has outsourced its payroll to minimise any disruption caused by its split from Trinity Mirror.

The organisation's payroll for all employees is now administered by Northgate HR.

Mark Francis, finance director at Racing Post Group, said: "The quick and successful implementation of our payroll has helped us clear some hurdles in the process of separating from our former owners. Being able to pay our staff in a timely manner, without creating a headache for our internal finance team or uncertainty among staff, has made the transition very easy."

The Racing Post Group, which now operates as an independent company, was sold by Trinity Mirror in October last year.
