Sapphire has been named Best Umbrella Company (over 3,000 clients) at The Contracting Awards 2025.
Sponsored by Cleerly, this category celebrates the umbrella providers that set the benchmark for excellence in a fast-evolving industry. PayStream was Highly Commended, with Sapphire taking the top spot.
The judges praised Sapphire’s investment in people, technology and service – from the launch of Quartz, our proprietary pay-and-bill platform, to the enhancement of our Platinum and Platinum Plus services offering greater flexibility, cashback health plans and faster access to funds.
Sapphire was also recognised for its culture and community impact: achieving World Class Employer status from Best Companies, investing over 1,440 hours in staff development, and paying out £700,000 to long-standing contractors in the last 18 months in employee ownership bonuses.
“Our goal is simple: remain agile and raise standards so that contractors get a great service and agencies and MSPs operate with confidence,” said Alex Moore, Chief Sales Officer. “This award recognises the hard work of our teams and partners and is one we’re very proud to have won.’’
The Contracting Awards celebrate excellence across the contractor services sector, spotlighting those leading the way in compliance, customer experience and innovation.
