APSCo Brookson Group

Brookson has been supporting all areas of the flexible working supply chain for over 20 years. Specialising in IR35 and contractor solutions, Brookson is on hand to offer expert advice to contractors, recruiters and hirers.  

Our dedicated IR35 experts are on hand to provide education, guidance and legal consultancy advice to ensure private sector businesses who hirer and rely on flexible workers, can retain their workforce. 

By supporting recruitment agencies and hirers with the upcoming changes in 2021, we can legitimately maximise the number of contractors outside of IR35, enabling businesses to protect their flexible workforce and give them a competitive advantage!

We understand that contractors working options are as important as ever right now, which is why we have launched ‘Flex,’ a solution which removes the risk of paying additional tax when working via a limited company or umbrella solution.

Benefits for APSCo Members

• Free IR35 updates, training and webinars
• Free Legislation updates
• Consultant workshop and training
• Free financial health check for contractors

Case Studies

Thanks to Brookson, the Co-op can continue with its goal to be a destination for talent – whether that be permanent or temporary. Its experts have given us the advice, expertise and bespoke guidance needed to navigate these complex law changes, which are made more difficult due to the nature and scale of our business. We now feel ready to tackle the challenge when the changes do take effect in 2021 and would advise others to take the time required to do a thorough job, ensuring both your stakeholders and contractors are engaged with the process and ultimately partnering with a third party who really understands your business and the approach that’s right for you. - Georgina Jones, Head of Contingent Workforce Management

Thanks to Brookson I feel better prepared and more knowledgeable on IR35. Its experts have given me the tools I need to work with and advise my employees before they recruit someone, ensuring we are engaging with the right person, for the right role and in the right way – whether they are inside or outside of IR35. This is a huge step forward in terms of our own mindset – as we now understand why we must work with contractors differently in different roles. I would recommend other businesses start to think about this sooner rather than later to ensure they can continue benefitting from their valued contractor talent. IR35 doesn’t scare me anymore – we will be ready when it comes in 2021! - Caroline Hawker, Group Talent and Acquisition Manager
