The service focussed contractor Umbrella
for over 3 years, SG have removed my concerns re UK NI and Tax payments
I have been using the services of SG Umbrella since Early 2021 when I first started contracting work after over 40 years as PAYE for Global vehicle manufacturers. SG have taken the pressure off my concerns re payment of NI and taxes. I have found the team at SG to be reliable and professional.

Outstanding Service by SG Umbrella Company
I had the pleasure of working with SG Umbrella Company UK during my recent 3-month contract assignment, and I cannot recommend them highly enough. From start to finish, their service was impeccable, making the entire payment process seamless and stress-free
They are incredibly professional and efficient. They handled all aspects of my payments promptly and accurately, ensuring I received payments on time without any issues.
Communication with SG Umbrella was always clear and concise. They clarified all my questions and provided a detailed breakdown of my payments and deductions, their customer service team was quick to respond and exceptionally helpful.
I am incredibly grateful for their support during my contract assignment and would not hesitate to use their services again in the future.
