Umbrella For Agencies: A SafeRec-Accredited Partner You Can Trust

Working with Meades Umbrella gives your agency peace of mind

Choosing a compliant umbrella provider has never been more important. With joint and several liability rules expected, your agency could be held responsible for tax underpayments caused by non-compliant umbrellas, even if you didn’t know it was happening.

That’s where Meades Umbrella comes in.

Why agencies choose us

  • SafeRec Accredited
    Our payslips are independently verified, with real-time auditing to ensure 100% accuracy and compliance with UK law.
  • Run by qualified accountants
    Unlike many umbrella providers, we’re part of the long-established Meades Group, a regulated accountancy practice, not a sales-led operation.
  • Dedicated account management
    We work closely with agencies to ensure timely payments, clear communications, and seamless onboarding for new contractors.
  • Zero tolerance for non-compliance
    We don’t promote or tolerate disguised remuneration schemes, offshore models, or non-standard working arrangements.
