Contracting through an employer

Welcome to Norris International Limited (Norris).  Norris is an employer of highly skilled and specialist international contractors working on assignment largely in the UK. 

Norris understands that the frequent changes in tax regimes in the contract market mean that high earning contractors are finding it increasingly difficult to choose the right solution - one which provides a worthwhile return on their income, little hassle and administration, and optimum compliance.  Norris provides all three.

Norris will employ you directly for the duration of your contract assignment, subject to your application being approved.  The advantage of being employed by Norris whilst working as a contractor is that you are able to concentrate on your assignment whilst alleviating the worry of paper work, administration and chasing of payments from your client.  Norris will also enable you to retain as much of your contract income as possible, typically 80-85%, and can offer employment benefits to each employee. Norris takes regular, professional advice on its service to ensure full compliance with all current legislation.

Is Norris right for you?

Norris assists a range of contract specialists in varying professions, from IT and banking to medical and renewable energies.  If the nature of your skills and work lends itself to contracting then take a look at our About You page to find out if you could qualify for employment via Norris.

Working via Norris you won't need to worry about appointing a tax and VAT agent, raising your own invoices, credit control, bank reconcilliations, filing accounts and end of year returns or hiring your own personal accountant to assist you with all of this.

Norris alleviates the usual stresses contractors face by working as self-employed or via a Limited Company; by providing an employment solution Norris takes away all administrative and accounting responsibilities from the contractor.
