Payroll Service Providers in the UK

(known as “Umbrella” companies)

Working as a Contractor in the UK

Volt Europe is not in a position to give financial advice and therefore will not advise you which company you should choose to manage your financial affairs, or which method (e.g. limited company, umbrella company, PAYE) best suits your circumstances.

However, our experience of the industry gained since our formation in 1978 has enabled us to develop working relationships with the following companies whom we believe to be reputable and efficient in the provision of payroll services. Many of our contractors already work with these companies.

If in doubt, you should always consult a professional advisor for further information.

Since 1992 giant has lead the way with umbrella services for the temporary recruitment market. Our track record is unrivalled: we’ve always delivered greater compliance, stronger financial stability and faster smarter systems than any of our competitors.

With giant strongbox, we offer the benefits of a limited company, including most of the allowable expenses, but without any of the admin or statutory responsibilities. You don’t have to worry about IR35 and MSC Legislation, you’re out of these altogether.

You can look forward to same day payments, higher net income, your own Client Service Manager, online technology and money-back guarantees. And if that’s not enough, we offer more accuracy, security and accountability than any other Umbrella company in the market. No wonder giant strongbox was voted Best Umbrella Company 2006 by readers of ContractorUK.
