We felt that contractor payroll could be done simpler, fairer and with minimal fuss, all values that we still feel are important.
From those early days of having a freezing office, one phone line, a spreadsheet CRM plus getting used to the new BACS-alternative ‘faster payments’ bank system, we have evolved into a reputable, award-winning business whose journey is still continuing. Many of us have recruitment backgrounds - so we understand our market, but also that clients and contractors would rather be without the headache that tax/NI/payslips/HMRC admin and everything else that payroll can bring.
We’re based in Barnsley, South Yorkshire - but we like to work with people all over the UK, so we’re more than happy to pay you a visit… Just make sure you put the kettle on!
Our first Umbrella offering went live in early 2011 and since then we have adapted to the many legislation changes that have almost become customary each year, to ensure that we are offering a clear and compliant model.
An area which is our ‘bread and butter’ because this is where the foundations of Orbital started out in 2008, due to us having many years’ worth of experience within the construction recruitment and direct contracting sectors.
It became apparent to us throughout the COVID-19 crisis in 2020 that we needed something extra besides Umbrella PAYE to offer a complete range of PAYE options for the contingent workforce.
