HMRC Press Release 7 February 2020

As part of a review into changes to the operation of the off-payroll working rules (IR35), HMRC has made an announcement to give business more time to prepare.

The rules, also known as IR35, will now apply only to payments made for services provided on or after 6 April 2020. Previously, the rules would have applied to any payments made on or after 6 April 2020, regardless of when the services were carried out. It means organisations will only need to determine whether the rules apply for contracts they plan to continue beyond 6 April 2020, supporting businesses as they prepare.

Rapid Support Service has worked closely with Bamfords for well over seven years, I have been part of this relationship during the last three. I have always found them very accommodating and helpful and are always forthcoming with whichever trades you require. I have worked closely with Craig Williams in this time and he will do his upmost to help you in any way, I have put a lot of pressure on him in the past to find me trades at the last minute in all different post code areas and he has never let me down, we will certainly be using Bamfords in the future and I hope to grow our relations with them.

IR35 Delayed - Government Announcement 17 March 2020

The government is postponing the reforms to the off-payroll working rules, IR35, from 6 April 2020 to 6 April 2021

Steve Barclay, the chief secretary to the Treasury, confirmed the move in Parliament on Tuesday night. (March 17 2020) as part of measures relating to the current Coronavirus (Covid-19) epidemic.

We as a company have used Bamfords for quite a while now and before this latest contract I had heard nothing but good reports from my colleagues. We generally have a large turn round in temporary staff, however since I started this contract I have found that the guys supplied to me from Bamfords have been of the best quality. I will continue to use Bamfords for the rest of this contract and further contracts to come. The Managers at Bamfords are the most proactive in the business, with them dealing with all manner of issues promptly and professionally. I rate them as one of the best temporary recruitment companies in the country.

We have used the services of Bamford for over a year... They have recruited temporary tradespeople to a high standard at short notice... The service has been first class and I would not hesitate in recommending Bamford.

I have used skilled craftsmen from Bamford Contract Services for over fifteen years and have been impressed with the professionalism  of all the Bamford employees and the tradespersons they have placed with us during this period. All the temporary staff they have supplied have had the necessary background checks carried out and so providing quality staff, many of whom we have employed on a permanent basis. Bamfords have consistently beaten their rivals on rates and quality and so have established themselves as our preferred supplier.
