Brookson, Brookson Legal, Brookson One, and Brookson Financial all shortlisted for their work supporting UK contractors and agencies
WARRINGTON, UK — 8 July 2026 — Brookson has been shortlisted for eight awards at The Contracting Awards 2026, with finalist placements spanning four brands across the Brookson Group. The Contracting Awards recognise the service providers going above and beyond for UK contractors, and this year’s shortlist reflects the breadth of support Brookson offers, from day-to-day umbrella employment to specialist legal and financial advice.
Winners will be announced at a ceremony at the Park Plaza Riverbank in London on 30 September 2026.
Brookson: Two finalist placements
Brookson has been shortlisted for Best Umbrella Company (Over 3,000 Clients) and Best Umbrella Company Customer Service. Brookson has supported UK contractors and recruitment agencies for over 30 years, and both entries point to the same thing: contractors get a dedicated employee relations team, not an automated system passed between anonymous advisers. That approach shows up in the numbers too, with an average customer satisfaction score of 4.6 out of 5 and a Trustpilot score of 4.8, both sustained over the past six months.
Brookson One: Finalist for Best Contractor Accountancy (Over 3,000 Clients)
Brookson One, Brookson’s accountancy arm, has been shortlisted in the same customer-count category for its work supporting limited company contractors. Over the past year, Brookson One’s accountancy service supported thousands of contractors, more than a quarter of whom have been with the business for over a decade. Every client gets a dedicated accountant and support team, with daily account monitoring so nothing slips through the cracks.
Brookson Legal: Finalist for Best Legal, Compliance or Tax Provide
Brookson Legal, the UK’s leading IR35 law firm, has been shortlisted for its work helping hirers, recruiters, and contractors navigate employment status. The firm has been advising on IR35 since the legislation was introduced in 2000, and its team includes solicitors who have sat on HMRC’s own IR35 forum. That expertise has helped clients move from confusion to confidence when it comes to compliance.
Brookson Financial: Four finalist placements
Brookson Financial has been shortlisted in four categories: Best Contractor Mortgage Provider or Broker, Best Contractor Pension Provider or Broker, Best Contractor Insurance Provider or Broker, and Excellence in Contracting Financial Services. Together, these nominations recognise the breadth of financial planning support Brookson Financial provides to contractors, from mortgages and pensions to insurance and broader financial guidance built specifically for the way contractors work.
Being shortlisted in eight categories across four brands is a reflection of what has driven Brookson for over 30 years: real people helping contractors and agencies navigate the parts of contracting that are hardest to do alone. Brookson will find out which of these categories bring home a win at the September ceremony.
