There are plenty of reasons you should partner with us
There are plenty of reasons why you should put your candidates in contact with us and why adding Churchill Knight Umbrella to your agency’s Preferred Supplier List (PSL) will benefit your recruitment agency.
Below, we’ve summarised the top 10 reasons you should add us to your official PSL.
1. Compliance
Agencies cannot afford to have a non-compliant payroll provider on their PSL, and we are incredibly proud that Churchill Knight Umbrella has achieved the prestigious FCSA accreditation. You can refer your candidates to us with total peace of mind.
We are pleased to be certified by SafeRec to add another layer of protection and prove we are operating compliantly. All workers paid by us will benefit from a payslip audit, and you’ll also receive a monthly report of all candidates paid by us to show all deductions are legal and paid correctly. This level of transparency has never been seen before and protects your agency against the risks associated with serious legislation such as the Criminal Finances Act.
2. Excellent online reputation
We’re one of the leading PAYE umbrella companies in the UK, and we’ve built a reputation we’re proud of. Our online reputation is an excellent example of this, as Churchill Knight Umbrella has excellent ratings on Google and Trustpilot.
3. Exceptional value for your candidates
As standard, your candidates will receive free comprehensive insurance, employee benefits including statutory sick pay and maternity/paternity pay, Same Day Faster Payment, easy registration and ongoing support.
4. Experience
Churchill Knight Umbrella was established in 2017 and is backed by professionals with over 25 years of industry experience. We are partnered with some of the leading agencies in the UK, and we pay thousands of contractors every week. As one of the most established umbrella companies in the UK, you can confidently refer your candidates to us.
5. Multiple Services
We specialise in umbrella payroll and have a range of services to suit contractors with different requirements. Alongside traditional PAYE umbrella, we also offer a CIS payroll service for your CIS workers and a Drivers payroll service. If your candidates want to boost their private pensions tax-efficiently, our salary sacrifice service could be beneficial.
6. Dedicated Agency Department
When you partner with Churchill Knight Umbrella, you will have a dedicated Business Development Manager and Account Manager to support your business and your candidates. You will also have access to our Payroll and Compliance Team, who will happily answer any questions and offer support. We understand that no two recruitment agencies are the same and will do everything in our power to ensure your requirements are met – whatever you need, just let us know.
7. Training
We prioritise staying up-to-date with the latest news and legislation affecting the supply of temporary workers, and our Agency Team would be happy to deliver training at your office for Consultants who want to learn more.
8. Regular updates on your candidates
When you refer your candidates to us, we will provide live updates on their progress. We understand that your candidates are your priority, and when you refer them to us, they will become our priority too.
9. Meetings when you need them
Our dedicated account managers are located throughout the country. They will pop into your office to discuss the service and how we can support your agency and contractors. Call us on 0808 2525533 to arrange a meeting at a time that suits you.
10. Competitions
We work in a highly regulated industry and take our compliance very seriously. However, it is also great to have some fun along the way! When you partner with us, you will have access to various fun and exciting competitions with the chance to win fantastic prizes. Keep an eye out for emails and social media posts.
Arrange a meeting with our Agency Team
Compliance within the contractor payroll sector has never been so important. Your agency must have a PSL exclusively containing compliant umbrella companies with the best practices in place and a perfect track record. Churchill Knight Umbrella is accredited by the FCSA and certified by SafeRec. Therefore, by referring candidates to us, you can be confident that your business and contractors are in the safest hands.
Our highly trained Business Development Team is located throughout the UK and would be delighted to visit your office and discuss the many benefits of working together. Please call 0808 2525533 to schedule a meeting with one of our team members at a convenient time or email agency@churchill-knight.co.uk.
Compliance will always be our priority
Churchill Knight Umbrella is proud to be one of the first UK umbrella companies with both an accreditation from the FCSA and SafeRec Certification. We're partnered with hundreds of agencies who equally value compliance and service, and we ensure all of the temporary candidates (contractors and freelancers) that are referred to us receive an exceptional payroll experience - from the initial calculation we provide them to processing their pay for the first time.
The FCSA is the UK’s leading professional body committed to ensuring the compliance of the supply chain of temporary workers.
SafeRec is revolutionary, and having a PSL exclusively composed of SafeRec certified umbrella companies will protect your business and candidates.
