From Lancaster to the World: Honest Payroll’s Global Growth & Award Recognition

It’s been a landmark year for Honest Payroll—and we’re just getting started.

From our roots in Lancaster, UK, to the launch of our first overseas office in Dubai, we’ve evolved from a regional provider into a globally trusted payroll and accountancy partner. Now, with a brand-new look, enhanced digital presence, and national award recognition, we’re proud to share how far we’ve come—and where we’re headed next.

Expanding Globally, Staying True to Our Roots

Our new Dubai office represents a major milestone in our journey. Serving contractors and agencies across Energy, Renewables, Construction, and Healthcare, the move allows us to deliver 24/7 support to clients in some of the world’s most active project regions.

But while our reach is global, our commitment to Lancaster remains stronger than ever. From our HQ at White Cross Business Park, we continue to deliver the personalised, high-touch service our clients know and trust.

A Brand Evolution That Reflects Our Mission

With growth comes change—and our recent brand refresh is designed to reflect the forward-thinking, compliance-first business we are today.

We’ve launched:

• A bold new brand identity
• A redesigned, user-focused website
• Refreshed sales materials and office space
  All to support our mission: to provide compliant, consultative payroll solutions tailored to contractors and agencies across the world.

This evolution was developed in partnership with Lead Talent Management Consultancy and forms part of a wider strategy to scale our business while staying true to our values.

National Recognition: Shortlisted for Best Umbrella Company

We’re also proud to share that Honest Payroll has been shortlisted for “Best Umbrella Company” at the Contracting Awards 2024, taking place this November.

The awards celebrate excellence in the contracting industry and our nomination recognises our commitment to:

• Transparent, contractor-first service
• Full SafeRec-audited compliance
• Tailored payroll support across PAYE, Ltd Co, and Self-Employed models

“This is a landmark moment for Honest Payroll,” said Managing Director Matthew Blane.
“Our rebrand reflects just how far we’ve come—and being shortlisted for a national award is a testament to the exceptional work our team delivers day in and day out.”

What’s Next?

We’re not stopping here.

Our expansion continues, our platform keeps evolving, and our mission stays the same: to provide world-class payroll and accountancy services, every step of the way.

“As we grow globally, we remain committed to doing business ethically and transparently,” Matthew added.
“That’s the Honest way—and it always will be.”
