Hi all. Considering a first move into contracting and secured a contract which I would be interested in (only accepted verbally for now). The recruitment agency that I am using has said I have to use an umbrella company called "Protek Pay" but have not been able to find any reviews on this company, much information about them (they have a basic website etc). Just wondering if anyone has any experience with them and how have they found them? I have planned to have an initial call with them this week -anything key that I should ask? Thank you in advance

Could I take a guess at the agency being Forbes HS&S, Comrisk, Global Resourcing or TBOS?
TBOS are backend agency support - any agency using them would be better of heading to Sonovate....Last edited by eek; 4 August 2022, 12:53.merely at clientco for the entertainmentComment

This Protek Pay?
https://www.protekpay.co.uk/
The ICO registration number they quote in their privacy policy doesn't return a result so you can't validate that they are properly registered.
Their registered office is at the same address as TBOS and have existed since Jan 2021.
Although they don't state their company registration number, it's 13162874Comment
