Compliant and efficient umbrella company with extensive experience within the construction industry

We believe contractors should be supported and rewarded throughout their careers.

Businesses across the UK rely on skilled contractors every day – bringing specialist expertise, experience and fresh thinking into their teams, often exactly when they need it most.

We have enormous respect for the professionals who choose to work this way and believe they deserve an umbrella company that recognises the contribution they make.

That's why we've been supporting contractors across the UK since 2003. More than two decades and 130,000 contractors later, our principles remain the same: to make umbrella employment straightforward, transparent and supportive, so you can concentrate on doing what you do best.

When operating through your own limited company isn't an option, choosing the right umbrella company matters. As a Key Portfolio employee, you benefit from the protections and rights that come with employment, together with the support of an experienced team that understands the contractor market.

We're FCSA Accredited and SafeRec Certified, providing additional independent reassurance over the standards behind our service and the way your pay is processed.

But for us, being a good umbrella company is about more than processing payroll. It's about valuing you as an employee, being there when you need us and making sure you always have someone to turn to when you have a question about your pay or employment.

After all, we've been looking after contractors since 2003 – and we're very proud that more than 130,000 of them have trusted us to do just that.

Orca Pay Group is more than your typical UK umbrella company, our partnerships are built on compliance, honesty, transparency and a wealth of industry expertise. By combining cutting-edge, HMRC-approved technology with an attentive approach and modest umbrella company fees, we ensure we are the best umbrella company for contractors seeking straightforward, risk-free, and cost-effective engagements.

We pride ourselves on being a UK umbrella company that truly values its employees, for whom our rigorous processes guarantee fair tax treatment and full provision of rights, paving the way for continued, fruitful engagements.

We are immensely proud to be the first UK umbrella company to offer all of our umbrella employees full and transparent payslip audits on a payroll-by-payroll basis, ensuring that our umbrella employees can see that they have been paid correctly and compliantly every time they are paid.

This approach protects and ensures all holiday payments, pension payments and all deductions are calculated and paid to the penny. There is no better guarantee for a contractor, and why we are proud to live by our business motto, "Trust through transparency".
