Brookson have previously been known for their limited company service. They now offer contractors the choice of umbrella as well, and that is the service we review. Brookson's website is clean, simple and easy to follow, they offer three ways to trade including umbrella.
A major gripe with this company is that, in normal circumstances, you can't simply ring up and ask about their umbrella services. You have to call up to make an appointment for them to call you back later. Possibly inconvenient for you, but that's the way the operate.
However, once you get through their strict vetting processes they are a friendly and professional outfit who would look after you very well during your contract(s). They excel in terms of ethical standards; they will explain their services in clear simple terms and have a good grasp of current complex legislation that affects you as a contractor.
Their website is readable and makes sense to a newcomer. As a customer, you can access your personal records from their web-portal, at your convenience, as well as using it to submit your time-sheet details each month.
