Newby Experience

When you first need to work via an umbrella company there is a lot of information to take on board to understand all the financial issues. Umbrella Company UK has lots of detailed briefings to support onboarding and briefings on how umbrella companies work. But Umbrella Company UK go the extra mile as there are lots of oportunities to talk to "real people" if there is anything you don't understand. A good example of their strong customer focus was the helpful call I received from Regan to check if I had received and understoood my first payslip!

Its still early days as I only signed up yesterday, therefore, I question the timing of request for the review. It is premature for me to comment on the services offered. However, I can say that the on-boarding process was relatively smooth.

Umbrella Company UK eliminates the hassle associated with managing payroll and tax contributions. Their customer care is excellent, and my payments are always processed on schedule. I would strongly suggest them to any contractor seeking for a dependable payroll supplier!

They Really Don't Understand their Customer base

I worked under Umbrella for a few years after changing from another one which had turned into a disaster. All I need is a company that can accurately pay and document my timesheets and maintain effective relations with the pension provider. On this score Umbrela has had its challenges, leading to missed contributions; however, given the miserable experience I had before I was reasonably content with them. Then, after Christmas and a gap of 2 months in contract they sacked me. Had I been in the process of putting a new contract in place this would have been an unwelcome additional set of problems, and now I will have to go and seek a new intermediary with all that that entails. But the insult to injury was when, having already informed HMRC that they had sacked me, they wanted me to provide them with the relevant P45 details. After several E-mails I spent a pointless 20 mins on the phone with one of their operatives who genuinely does not seem to understand the difference between "Employment" and "Closing my Account" or the fact that I have no idea when Umbrella decided that I would not be bringing them in any further income and therefore cannot provide them with their own information. The guy also seemed to live under the impression that ex-Ltd company guys view the intermediary as a service that we choose to pay for - like a Spotify subscription - and not a mandatory additional tax on the process of trying to get paid.

Update - P45 was produced using the date of the last call- which was clearly incorrect. Shoddy and careless.

Daniela is the best!

Daniela is the best! I can't remember having better service anywhere (on and off for a year) so consistently. She is very on-the-ball and sharp but also always friendly and so helpful. She is the main reason why I continue to use UCUK ahead of anyone else as it feels like I have my own personal accountant. Thank you Daniela!
