More construction firms are joining Hudson every week, adding strength in numbers to the sector’s largest payroll: a service already trusted by more than 2,600 construction companies across England and Wales.
Hudson said government over-regulation and hostility towards business are making it riskier and more difficult for construction companies to engage self-employed tradespeople, with the Employment Rights Act, the Border Security, Asylum and Immigration Act and the Fair Work Agency adding new obligations this year.
Hudson helps companies comply with ever-changing tax and employment legislation, indemnifying them against risk so clients can focus on winning, delivering and getting paid for construction work.
Clients benefit from Hudson’s collective strength in CIS compliance, tax and employment law protection. The company is the only provider of its kind with case law in its name and has never lost an employment status case against HMRC or at tribunal.
Founded by the late Dave Jackson in 1996, Hudson is celebrating its 30th anniversary this year and operates a regional network of managers across England and Wales.

Managing director Ian Anfield said: “Over the last 12 months, while we have seen larger companies reducing their workforce, smaller ones are increasing theirs. We are attracting new clients and adding new subbies to the payroll in record numbers every week.
“Most of our clients are self-made businesspeople who come from the trades or technical backgrounds such as engineering or quantity surveying. Despite what some politicians might think, construction is still an industry where people can get on. And being self-employed is a vital stepping stone to owning a successful business.”
