    aftermath of Lucy & co. leaving ?

    hey guys, wondering if anyone's experienced mares since Contractor Umbrella got taken over by Dolan ? The entire team got uprooted at the time (sep2019). Lucy started Clarity Umbrella but unforunately I can't use anything that's not FCSA accredited: so looking at options.
    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 ...

      It looks like the CEO of the FCSA will give a confirmation letter while they work towards accreditation. Is that something that would sway your agency / client?

                Could you keep us updated with regard to getting on the list for AMS?

                  Hi kumarz,

                  Contractor Umbrella has always been owned by Simon Dolan, even during the SJD days. It's only recently (late 2018) that it was decided to bring both Contractor Umbrella and Dolan Accountancy under the 'Dolan Contractor Group' brand.

                  From then on Contractor Umbrella has gone from strength to strength, not only increasing the teams but also our contractor base. One of the main differences between Contractor Umbrella of old and new is that we have a lower margin!

                  Thanks

                      Ah sorry, didn't know! So the geographical move in sep2019 was probably a long time coming then

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