NASA Group is a specialist umbrella supplier based in Bristol, working exclusively within the contracting industry nationwide.

As well as being one of the most cost-effective in the industry, we pride ourselves on offering far greater value for our agency partners thanks to the unique way in which we collaborate with them. Rather than a typical ‘one-size-fits-all’ solution, we always ensure that our process is perfectly aligned with theirs so that the entire operation is as efficient as it can be. This benefits everyone in the supply chain including the recruitment agency, by enabling them to spend more time recruiting rather than payroll processing and problem-solving. It also allows the contractor to work more effectively as they fully understand the process and have far fewer questions or concerns. NASA Group goes above and beyond their duty as an employer.

This commitment continues throughout the entire agency relationship as we remain at the forefront of compliance and industry updates. Training agency staff on solutions and legislation is all part of the service, plus NASA Group will assist your business in preparing for legislative changes affecting your sector too. This helps to create a partnership far more valuable than a typical umbrella supplier.

We are always on hand to discuss how we can assist you, plus with regional account managers throughout the UK, we would be glad to talk in person too.

Payments Pro is designed to ensure that you get the most reliable, most efficient, and most rewarding umbrella service on the market. We offer an unparalleled level of worker support and incentives that will help ensure that you never want to leave!

CF Contractor

Trusted Payroll. Robust Compliance. Contractor Focused.

CF Contractor is a specialist UK provider of Umbrella PAYE and CIS payroll solutions, supporting contractors, recruitment agencies and businesses across the UK.

Our approach is built around three fundamental principles: compliance, transparency and reliability. We recognise that recruitment businesses need more than a payroll provider; they need a trusted supply-chain partner capable of protecting their reputation, supporting their contractors and consistently delivering to the highest professional standards.

Whether working with an independent recruitment consultancy, a national agency or a complex MSP supply chain, CF Contractor provides a responsive and straightforward service tailored to the requirements of each client.

Our objective is simple: make contractor payroll secure, compliant and dependable.

We combine robust processes with a highly personal service, ensuring contractors are paid accurately and on time while providing our recruitment partners with the confidence that their workforce is being managed responsibly.

Compliance at the Core

Compliance is fundamental to everything we do.

The contractor payroll landscape continues to evolve, placing increasing responsibility on recruitment agencies and end clients to understand and manage risk throughout their labour supply chains.

CF Contractor is committed to operating to the highest standards of UK tax, employment and payroll compliance.

Our systems, procedures and controls are designed to provide transparency throughout the payroll process, giving recruitment partners greater confidence in the integrity of their contractor supply chain.

We believe compliance should be visible, demonstrable and verifiable — not simply promised.

By combining rigorous operational controls with clear communication and transparent processes, CF Contractor helps agencies minimise payroll risk while maintaining a professional and dependable experience for their contractors.

Why CF Contractor?

Experienced Industry Leadership Our team brings extensive experience across contractor payroll, recruitment and workforce management, providing clients with practical expertise and a thorough understanding of the challenges faced by modern recruitment businesses.

Responsive Support Recruitment does not always operate within conventional office hours. Our service model is therefore designed around accessibility and responsiveness, ensuring agencies and contractors can obtain support when they need it.

Umbrella PAYE & CIS Solutions We provide specialist Umbrella PAYE and CIS payroll services designed around the requirements of temporary, contract and contingent workforces.

Accurate & Dependable Payroll Getting people paid correctly and on time is fundamental. Our payroll processes are designed around accuracy, consistency and reliability, helping agencies maintain strong relationships with their contractors.

Compliance-Led Approach We place compliance at the centre of our business. Robust procedures and transparent processes help protect contractors, recruitment agencies and end clients throughout the supply chain.

Partnership Mentality We don’t believe in being a faceless payroll provider. CF Contractor works alongside its recruitment partners, understanding their businesses and providing a service that complements their own contractor proposition.

Protecting Your Contractors. Protecting Your Business.

The relationship between an agency and its contractors is valuable.

CF Contractor understands that every interaction we have with a contractor reflects upon the recruitment agency that introduced them to us. We therefore place considerable emphasis on service quality, communication and professionalism.

From onboarding through to payroll and ongoing support, our aim is to make the process straightforward for contractors while giving agencies confidence that their workers are being looked after properly.

For our recruitment partners, that means a payroll provider focused not only on processing payments, but on protecting relationships, strengthening compliance and supporting the long-term reputation of their business.
