Introduction

Taking the complexity out of compliance

Aston Fisher, an executive search and interim management specialist operating across life sciences, aerospace & defence, and consumer sectors, relies on Giant to deliver compliant umbrella payroll services. For a business focused on connecting senior talent with organisations, having a payroll partner that removes the complexity of compliance and tax is essential.
