Thank you & Business update

We would like to give you a brief update on where matters are since IR35 changes went live and thank you for all your support & business.

Over the last couple of weeks we have seen a number of PSCs/limited company contractors move to another solution and be paid for the 1st time. Our staff have worked extra hours to ensure we provide the support required through this challenging time for both PSCs, agencies & clients.

The teams at ADVANCE have planned, prepared and communicated throughout the last 9 months to ensure everything runs as smoothly as possible. We are continuing to see certain sectors of PSCs dig their heels in, and clients making decisions late, we expect this to continue into May.

Most importantly, we would like to thank you for all the support you have given ADVANCE over a very challenging year. Throughout the last year we have ensured service is at the core of everything we do.

Our business goal is to answer calls within 3 rings, and we provide reports internally by the hour within the business to keep us focused. Our business goal is to answer 100% of calls within 3 rings and currently this is at 96%. In the current climate and beyond our priority to ensure the basics are done well as a minimum.

We continue to be placed in great position to continue to work in partnership with you and your teams to navigate through the challenges that lie ahead. Providing world class service is our number one priority.
