FWIW ltd co is usually better than umbrella anyway. (queue flaming wars)

There are also many rules and regs around what jobs count as "self employed". I doubt the employer/OP means self employed (unless it's the building trade).

The Income Tax (Earnings and Pensions) Act 2003 Section 44 effectively prevents individuals from trading as sole trader where an agency is involved, as it obliges the agency to treat the individual as if they were an employee, and so are required to deduct PAYE and NIC from any payments due.
Operating as 'self-employed' direct with the client can also be an issue so most companies that are 'in the know' will not engage a contractor who is self employed and not using a limited company.
It maybe that the company does not wish to get involved with the AWR legislation, hence not wishing to use umbrella companies.
AWR is unlikely to apply if you operate via a limited company, so perhaps you could check if that is an option?
