NOTES TO EDITOR  

ABOUT GREEN LANTERN GROUP 

Green Lantern was originally formed in 2002 by four IT contractors, who have seen the days of the IT and freelance market rise, fall and rise again. With over 15 years in the contracting industry and after working with so many different contractor payroll services and never finding true satisfaction in any of them, they decided to turn to one of the big four accountancy firms to provide a payroll management solution especially tailored round contractor payroll, which would suit the individual needs of contractors and freelancers in the UK. They now work with a number of Recruitment Agencies and are proud to offer their contractors the option of working through an Umbrella Service, the Construction Industry Scheme or opening a Limited Company.
