Another which Umbrella

[Cameron1590]

I am currently engaged with AMS/PSR and have a good year left to run on my assignment.

When I started the contract initially, I went with their sister company (Giant) for my umbrella services.

At a request of the end client, I attended two meetings at their customers site. Travel Expenses were approved and paid but the pain I have been through to have the tax reversed on these expenses has been ridiculous.

I am now on my ninth email and Giant either ignore my emails or say “you didn’t attach any receipts” when I did and, well, the endless circle of emails resumes.

I've decided to cut my losses and move Umbrella, AMS state I can only use the following:

• Advance
• Amaze Umbrella Limited
• Brookson Solutions Limited
• Danbro
• Giant
• ICS Umbrella Limited
• JSA / Workwell Solutions
• Nasa Umbrella Limited
• Parasol Limited
• Paystream My Max Limited
• Sapphire DNP Limited
• SG Umbrella Limited

So, which umbrella can be vouched for as being half decent? I currently pay £40 a week for Giant, the “benefits” are crap and the only benefit of use is paying into my own SIPP which I would like to keep doing.

Research is suggesting Paystream or Danbro but welcome lived experiences.

Thanks
