- “we welcome the new Labour government's decision to push ahead with the plans for Tackling non-compliance in the umbrella company market that are due to take effect in April 2026.”
- “as early adopters of SafeRec, a new compliance technology that provide real-time compliance for both contractors and agencies alike, we expect to see a net positive impact from any legislation.”
- “malpractice is still rife and continues to erode trust in the industry.”
- “while the incidence of major Cyber-attacks within the industry has decreased, an increasing number of large corporations have been targeted, so the threat level has increased.”
