Why use FPS Umbrella services

Since its establishment in 1995, FPS has grown to be the partner of choice for UK recruitment companies. A commitment to professional and reliable services has been underpinned by continuous investment in the company's systems, employees and operations to ensure its status as a market leader in an industry that is known for the short-term existence of providers.

Our smooth registration process means that FPS Members are on board with the minimum of fuss. Within moments of the candidate registering, we provide you with the umbrella company's details to upload to your payroll system.

FPS members pay a competitive weekly fee that covers administration and invoicing costs and is inclusive of expense processing, professional and business insurances.

FPS takes a responsible approach to processing business expenses that its members can offset against their earnings. We check eligibility and use processes and procedures developed in consultation with HM Revenue & Customs before permitting expenses to be processed.

With over 100 customer service staff, FPS can provide the personal touch to its Members and can resolve questions efficiently and effectively, avoiding the need for them to contact you with payroll queries. Less hassle for you, better service for them.
