Back to the bad old days?

Or £79.95 a month, which obviously a much better deal. Looking at the details, it still doesn't seem like a bad deal to me given what else is included.

Well, it includes standard PCG membership, which is about £10 a month. So, it still compares £70 a month as against £55 a month if you went direct to Parasol.

Also, I can't see the benefit of PCG membership to someone with an umbrella Co. The majority of people I think join the PCG predominantly for the insurance products, most of which (IR35, S660 issues) would not apply to umbrella people.

The Parasol fee through PCG is £40 A WEEK, so, the PCG membership works out at say £5 a week, leaving £35 a week in fees, compared with I think £15 a week if you go direct to Parasol.

It looks as though the PCG membership is equivalent to PCG Plus which is worth more than £20 a month and also includes Public and Employer's Liability Insurance. Looks like a fair deal to me.

Why do people insist on trashing something when they haven't bothered to read and understand the full facts. I'm talking about the original poster here.

I get my Liability Insurance thrown in...The PCG membership better be worth it!

The £40 fee includes PCG membership. That's not much of an excuse though, you're still being grieviously ripped off.

I know its early days but has anyone signed up with them, as I'd be interested to hear about their experiences?

I pay £250 a week for Assenture umbrella

bollox you do !

[AtW]

I pay £250 a week for Assenture umbrella because the brand name allows me to charge 10 times more than I would have otherwise being worth. The funny thing is that the client is happier to pay more because they think they buy peace of mind: this is true because noone should ever **** with a man who has got time machine.

Just had a wander round the PCG site to make sure I haven't missed anything interesting over there (I hadn't) but I did have a look at their new super dooper umbrella scheme. They are charging nearly £40 a week
I thought that this was just them recommending Parasol but I had always thought that Parasol were pretty reasonable - 16 quid a week or something so where does the other 24 quid go??? Anyone remember Andy White?

£40 a week is a disgrace.

You get Giant Powerhouse for £35 a week, and that's for a managed Ltd!

Not Whiter than White - alledgedly
