Why not speak to the brolly as they are your employers?

Why would he speak to the brolly when the new contract will be via His Co. Ltd ?

Why do think it might? And what does your accountant say?

How many times have I told you to stop picking on the newbies Contreras. Why would he have an accountant if he is with a brolly and not yet set his LTD up?

God I hate people that just jump to to the 'What does your accountant say' line. Jeeeeeeez

I think it should be okay but thought I'd check as there will be about a two week overlap between me starting the new contract under my own steam and finishing the notice period with the umbrella.

Why not speak to the brolly as they are your employers? You might get lucky and they might reduce the notice period. It won't really be worth their while to put everything in motion for just two weeks money.
