About This Podcast

I have been involved in the Umbrella and Payroll Industry for nearly 20 years. Whilst I have seen the industry change profoundly, one thing that remains is that it’s still unregulated. With monies circulating the industry that rival the Premier League, these no holds barred Orca Pods we will be swimming in shark infested waters, discussing the topics no one wants to speak about, the hidden and shadowy practices and what is being done to change the industries perception and its very survival.
