North Wales runs on a wide mix of employers: manufacturing plants around Deeside and Wrexham, tourism and hospitality along the coast, farms across the countryside, public sector teams and thousands of small businesses in between. Every one of them with staff carries the same payroll duties, and we handle those duties for North Wales employers from our office in Pontypridd, working closely with you wherever you are.

The North Wales business landscape

North Wales has a broad economy shaped by its geography. In the north east, the Deeside Industrial Park and the Wrexham Industrial Estate form one of the largest manufacturing and advanced engineering clusters in Wales, with aerospace, food production, automotive supply and logistics all based there. These are shift-based operations with overtime, night work and varied contracts, which is exactly the sort of payroll that needs to be right every cycle.

Move west and north and the picture changes. The coast from Rhyl and Colwyn Bay through Llandudno to the Menai Strait leans heavily on tourism, hospitality and seasonal work, so payroll numbers swell in summer and settle in winter. Around Bangor and Gwynedd you find the university, the health board and a strong public sector presence, alongside agriculture, which is still a major employer across Denbighshire, Conwy and Anglesey. Add the many independent shops, cafes, trades and care providers in every town, and North Wales holds a large number of employers who need their people paid correctly and on time.

Why North Wales businesses choose us

We are based in Pontypridd, in the middle of South Wales, and we serve North Wales clients wherever they are. That works well because payroll travels perfectly over the phone, email and secure file transfer. 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. It is a personal service, run by people who understand Welsh employers.

Being a Welsh bureau also means we are comfortable with Welsh-language businesses. If you would rather correspond in Welsh, or you need payslips and letters that sit naturally alongside Welsh-language branding, that is no trouble. We are backed by more than 60 years of combined payroll experience, so whether it is a batch of seasonal overtime on the coast or a query from a Deeside manufacturer, it gets dealt with quickly and correctly.

What we handle for you

We provide fully managed, outsourced payroll so the whole job comes off your plate. On every pay run we handle:

  • Processing weekly, fortnightly, four-weekly or monthly pay runs, including shift and seasonal work.
  • Calculating pay, tax, National Insurance, pension and any other deductions accurately.
  • Filing Real Time Information (RTI) with HMRC on or before payday.
  • Auto-enrolment and workplace pension administration, including assessment and uploads.
  • Producing payslips, P45s, P60s and reports and sending them to you each pay period.
  • Statutory sick, maternity and paternity pay, calculated correctly.

You pay your own employees and HMRC. We do the calculating, filing and paperwork, so you are left with clear figures and clean records. As CIPP members, ICAEW Chartered Accountants, ICO registered and Cyber Essentials certified, your payroll is handled accurately and securely.

Transparent pricing

Our pricing is clear and easy to budget for. Fully managed payroll is a fixed £5 per employee, per month, plus VAT, with no long tie-ins and no hidden extras. The price covers processing, filing, payslips and support, so there are no surprises at the end of the month. See how it works on our pricing page, or tell us how many people you pay and how often and we will send a clear, no-obligation quote the same day.

Free, straightforward switching

Moving payroll provider is simpler than it sounds, and switching to us is free. We take your current figures, check the year-to-date totals, set your people up and make sure the first pay run under us goes through cleanly, with no gap and no disruption for your staff. If you are anywhere in North Wales and thinking about a change, get a quote or call01443 402116 and we will handle the rest.

We've been using Gareth and the team for many years for our payroll. Great efficient service and prompt replies. I also find them very cost effective. They were particularly supportive with the Job Retention Scheme.

Nora and her team have dealt with our payroll since we opened in 2008, always patiently explaining things I don't understand. Flawless service, always on hand, efficient and professional.

Absolutely brilliant, I couldn't do payroll without Nora and her team. Throughout the pandemic they administered all of my furlough payments and I have not had to worry about any of it.
