Wrexham is a working city with one of the biggest industrial bases in Wales, and every employer here, from a factory unit on the estate to a high-street shop or a members' club, has a payroll to run. We handle that payroll for Wrexham businesses from our office in Pontypridd, working closely with you so it stops being a monthly worry.

The Wrexham business landscape

Manufacturing and industry sit at the heart of Wrexham's economy. The Wrexham Industrial Estate, one of the largest in the UK, is home to advanced manufacturing, food and drink production, pharmaceuticals, plastics, logistics and engineering, with major employers running round-the-clock shifts. Alongside it, smaller units and workshops across Rhosllanerchrugog, Ruabon and out towards Chirk keep a steady stream of skilled work going. These are exactly the operations, with shift patterns, overtime and varied contracts, where accurate and timely payroll matters most.

Wrexham's profile has grown fast in recent years. City status, a rising tourism and hospitality draw, and a busy town centre have brought new confidence to local business. Around the industrial core you find independent retailers, cafes, trades, care providers and professional firms, plus the strong tradition of social and sporting clubs across the area, many of which employ bar and events staff. Whether the work is on a production line, behind a bar or at a desk, the payroll rules are the same, and getting them right every cycle takes time most owners would rather spend elsewhere.

Why Wrexham businesses choose us

We are based in Pontypridd, in South Wales, and we look after Wrexham clients wherever they are. Payroll runs perfectly well over the phone, email and secure file transfer, and what you gain 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 close, personal service, run by people who understand Welsh employers.

That personal service earns its keep when something needs dealing with: a batch of overtime after a busy production 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, and we have been running payroll for clients since 2006, so those things get dealt with quickly and correctly. Being a Welsh bureau, we are also happy to correspond in Welsh where that suits you.

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 overtime pay.
  • 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 handle 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 in Wrexham or the surrounding area and thinking about a change, get a quote or call 01443 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.

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.
