About Sussex Payroll Services LTD

Sussex Payroll Services Ltd was founded in December 2010 by three colleagues who had worked successfully together for over ten years at one of the UK’s top ten accountancy firms. Seeing an opportunity to establish their own payroll bureau, they chose a name that reflects both their location in Sussex and their specialist focus on payroll, although their services extend across the whole of the UK.

With more than a century of combined experience in payroll, Sussex Payroll Services Ltd offers clients meticulous attention to detail, strong teamwork, and a personal approach. The company is large enough to provide clients with complete peace of mind, yet small enough to deliver a personal touch, fostering the relationships and support that clients value and rely upon.
