About EdenGroup

Eden was established by Chartered Accountants in 2002.

After spending many years running a back office for a large Recruitment Company, the founders set up EdenGroup to offer back office services dedicated to the recruitment industry.

Using our extensive experience in the recruitment industry, Eden has established an Umbrella Company which provides both a tax-efficient vehicle for Contractors and Temporary Workers and a very high level of personal service.

We work in most vertical markets including IT, Construction, Engineering, Medical and Commercial and currently provide services to over 25000 Contractors and Temporary Workers.

We also have strong relationships with many Recruitment Companies which help ensure funds are provided to our workers accurately and quickly.

We’ve seen an efficiency saving of about 75% by outsourcing timesheets and payroll for our contractors. As a staffing agency, we live and die by our ability to pay people accurately and on time – so a system that was 100% reliable was our main priority.
