Lucky to have such a fantastic payroll provider for our candidates… thank you for your support and communication, it made this last week as smooth as it could be.

Katy Rees, Managing Director, Smile Education

A huge thank you from us. Every question answered and the speed you have made decisions is unprecedented. Lots of very happy teachers this evening.

Fran and Fiona, Directors, Smart Education

I just wanted to say thank you to you and your team for how you have dealt with everything this week, communication has been exceptional and we are very thankful for everything you have done to get things in place smoothly for the contractors and all your help and advice.

It was very straightforward and easy to be furloughed through my portal and also receiving the money right now means that I’m ‘financially stable’ in a way as I don’t have to worry that I may be running out of money due to my monthly subscriptions and contracts.

I would say to the other umbrella companies if you’re able to furlough colleagues please do, it would mean so much to them, even 80% is still a lot and will keep them going.

Rob, Contractor - West Midlands

Many thanks for your continued support during this difficult time.  Considering that I am only using you as an umbrella company, you have been more forthcoming than my previous multinational company employer. I was emailed by yourselves regarding Furlough payments.  To enable it, all I had to do was a few clicks and I was done.  Amazing!  I wish all my online interactions were as easy.

Since I am a support/cover technician for Secondary schools, I am unable to work at all at the minute, as no schools are open, so would not have any income at all.  The Furlough payments are enough to pay my bills and pay for shopping, which is a great help.

Keep up your good work and stay safe.

Gaelle, Contractor - West Midlands

I want to take the opportunity to give you feedback on the quality of your service recently. I had decided that I would do so prior to your email anyway because in all honesty, you have been fantastic!

At the best of times, I am not a great fan of ‘umbrella companies’ but in this instance I was amazed to see how pro-active the People Group were. While most companies are only now launching the furlough scheme (if they are), you have from the start of the confinement informed us and were very prompt in making a decision.

I could not believe how easy you made the process for us and how quickly we got the money. I am extremely grateful for your efficiency because without it, I would been in a very precarious situation.

 We tend to contact companies when there’s something wrong but hardly ever to congratulate them. So, I wanted to thank all the staff at the People Group for their support and care. It means a lot in these difficult times and I am sure many of us will not forget when this is all over.

All the best and stay safe

Alison, Contractor - Lancashire

THANK YOU!

At a time when you are worried about your loved ones dying and you actually have time to think, rather than running around like a headless chicken keeping your job and family smoothly running: THANK YOU.

As a supply teacher, my worry about not having an income again was huge and wondering how to pay bills, so I was enormously impressed when I was asked if I wanted to be furloughed just after the first time I heard the term on the news.

I was even more impressed by your efficiency to get the process started with all the information. A huge thank you and the team are much appreciated.

Keep well. Keep safe.
