    Cool, thanks for explaining. So basically the same offering @ Dolan vs. UC umbrella.
    Yep, in early 2019.

    We've tweaked and improved the service in some respects to better cater to our contractors (especially in light of the IR35 reforms).

    Kind regards

      Also, anybody know if there's much of a difference at this point between the Dolan umbrella offering and that of Contractor Umbrella ?
      I think Simon Dolan has gone back on his yacht as I don't see any posts from him since may2019 ...
      They were great when I started with them in Aug 2019 and my contract manager is great to and has had to handle a huge amount of bulltulip from a dodgy swiss agent that my end client (Indian Outsourcer, big...) made us use (we were since switched to a much less dodgy, though still infuriating indian agent).

      However when your personal contract manager isn't there then things fall through the seams a bit, emails don't get replied to and invoices don't get sent unless you chase. So they need to improve there, but I would still recommend.

            Not at all. We just wanted to get a better understanding of the issues.
