English term or phrase: Pertemps Employment Alliance

This is a notice for the employment seekers somewhere in the U.K. Now my problem is that I need to transliterate the name of this organisation into Bengali and I am stuck with that first word here. Will any friend from the U.K. tell me how "Pertemps" will be pronounced here? Do you say the 'temps' here like the French with EM nasalized and the end consonants silent? Thanks in advance.

As it IS a company name, it should be capitalised.
