Leicester is one of the most diverse business cities in the country, with textiles, manufacturing, distribution, retail and professional services all employing thousands. Every business here with staff carries the same payroll obligations, and we handle those obligations for Leicester employers from our office in Pontypridd, South Wales, working closely with you wherever you are.
The Leicester business landscape
Leicester has deep manufacturing roots, and textiles and clothing remain a defining part of its economy. The garment factories and workshops around the city, particularly in the areas east of the centre, sit alongside a wider base of food production, engineering and light manufacturing. These operations often run varied shifts and piece-rate or hourly contracts, which makes accurate, timely payroll especially important.
Beyond making things, Leicester is a major hub for distribution and logistics, helped by its central position on the M1 and M69 and large warehousing operations at Magna Park near Lutterworth and across the county. Add a busy retail scene in the city centre, Highcross and Fosse Park, a growing cluster of professional and financial services, two universities and countless small businesses in Oadby, Wigston, Loughborough and Hinckley, and Leicester holds a huge number of employers who need their people paid correctly and on time. Whatever the sector, the payroll rules are the same, and getting them right every cycle takes time most owners would rather spend elsewhere.
Why Leicester businesses choose us
We are based in Pontypridd, South Wales, and we serve Leicester clients wherever they are. Payroll travels perfectly over the phone, email and secure file transfer, so distance is no barrier to a close, personal service. What you get is a named contact who knows your account and answers when you call, rather than a national helpline that has never heard of your business.
That personal service earns its keep when something needs dealing with: a batch of overtime on a busy week, a new starter mid-cycle, a query about a deduction, or a message from HMRC. We are backed by more than 60 years of combined payroll experience, we have run payroll for clients since 2006, and we look after more than 250 active clients today. Those things get dealt with quickly and correctly, which is why our clients stay.
