"We’ve been working with The Ink Group since 2021, and we rely on them more and more each year. Starting with general payroll and pension, we’ve expanded to offer a full array of employee benefits. It’s great to have one go-to provider for our UK people ops. The Ink Group helped us navigate extended leave and an income protection claim. They make the benefits renewal process easy. Last year, they transitioned to a new payroll system and for us it was seamless. The new interface is attractive and easy to use. Even with these efficiencies, they haven’t lost the personal touch. I have positive interactions from all the team members every time. Shout out to Lisa, Harpinder, Sherry, Julie, Clare, and Charlotte."

As a payroll bureau we are constantly looking at ways to improve the service that we offer and the outcome for clients, and to this end we invested in a brand new software system earlier this year and Foothold were one of the first clients to be onboarded. After a series of parallel runs this launched successfully in July 2024 and the information that Foothold can now access about their payroll has significantly improved. The personal dashboard means that clients can navigate across different payroll months, upload changes, see employee details and some financial analytics.
As we also provide a benefits service for Foothold, we are able to run a seamless ‘payrolling of benefits’ service for them in replacement of traditional P11Ds (which are soon to be scrapped by HMRC). We provide monthly support and a year -end reconciliation on the benefits that have been payrolled, as well as P11Db submissions at the end of the tax year.
