During my time with People Group Services (2018 to present) I have found them to be helpful getting me started and answering queries and of course supportive, reasonable and understanding during the pandemic by taking the initiative to help .

I have worked with People group over the last 3 years. They have provided me with both flexibility and support, especially during the last few years. I have felt looked after in a way I didnt really expect at the time of the pandemic and resulting general business difficulties, thank you.

Umbrella companies are by their nature extremely dodgy and parasitic on workers. This one raised their fee from me by 300% (for paying me!) and didn’t clearly inform me. Don’t trust them. I wanted to give zero stars. I am leaving them to go PAYE. Can’t wait!

I was very new to supply work and so a little apprehensive about the whole process.People Group Services have helped make the process so easy. Staff are always friendly and are prompt in contacting you. An excellent company offering a very comprehensive service. Highly recommended.

I cannot believe there are 5 star reviews for this place. They can't be real. If you want to be ignored, endless stress, frustration, and to have your finances in an unknown state constantly, then these are the people. Honestly they have failed me more times than I can count. Which also doesn't seem to be their strong point. Avoid.

An excellent payroll company.I get a text each week before I’m paid.There is always a personal response to my emails, within 24 hours.The portal to access my payslips and p60 is easy to navigate, unlike some other payroll companies I could mention.The agreement to withhold a portion of my pay each week means I get holiday pay which is great for budgeting.Everything is done to make my life easier.The agency I’m working for gave me the option to invoice them direct or to use People Group Services. I’m so glad I chose the latter!

Due to the positive reviews, I almost chose this company over another umbrella company with less stars. Well considering the string of 5 star reviews...I was surprised by my experience with Peoples Group Services. I find them unhelpful, impatient, haughty, condescending and quite frankly rude. Perhaps they have certain cliental preferences!!! Their fees are higher than other umbrella groups so you would expect a certain level of customer service. I would not reccomend this company. I signed up, sent all my documentation and due to the poor level of customer service I had received, I decided i would not be using this company and went with someone else. Their website states that they close at 5pm when infact they close at 4pm. No good when you are a teacher working in a school....I think the company would benefit from customer services training

I came across a lot of teachers that didn’t receive a furlough payment or received it after being told they were not going to get anything. I was not one of those people (no stress), which is all thanks to People Group. They made the procedure as simple as it could be. Also, they ensured I received the highest amount for my furlough payment. Whenever I have had questions regarding my account, they have answered them swiftly and honestly. They hold themselves accountable for every penny. Keep up the good work! You absolute legends!

People payroll have been useful now during the crisis as I have received some furlough payments, I understand that as contractor I have been paying both employers and mine nat insurance so this money is owed to me...

During the recent ..what happens to us (supply teachers) I have been informed of their ongoing concern for us. All I can say is they created a furlough payment for me without me having to worry too much. Thanks

The company with such bad reviews it had to change its name to try wipe the shame. Im betting that all these reviews as they are mainly 5 star are paid for! All left almost exactly 5 months ago. Maybe fake reviews or employees.Still, AVOID at ALL COSTS
