Well aware of some of the opinions on the above - looking for a recommendation rather than a debate
Many thanks!
Just Don't
Just work out YOURSELF what you need to live on, what you can afford to put into your pension and find one that does salary sacrifice.
And ensure everything that isn't going into your pension is paid to you via PAYE in a single payment with a separate payslip that shows exactly where every penny went (umbrella company,Pension, HMRC, your bank account).

I have just started with Paystream, "just" as in started this month and only had a couple of weekly payslips. Found them fairly straightforward to join as for payments, money reaches the back account the same day it would if the agency had paid my LTD directly. They also allow SIPP payments as salary sacrifice.
